Not special, it used to come as a kit of three pipes they were different diameters, as you say it was sold by all the Husqvarna brands, the Husqvarna was known as a Mondo, the manufacturer was Poulon in the US.
-
That piece you push into the return to tank hose as a belt and braces approach to stop the pipe pulling out of the tank, it is a bit of over kill really as the hose should be a tight fit in the tank.

Funny story, I went out to a council yard who had purchased some Husqvarna 240r brush cutters, they were complaining of the clutch slipping and black gunge coming out of the clutch housing, I asked how often they pumped grease into the gearbox, oh every day they said with an air assisted greaser, they had actually forced grease right up the bloody tube and shaft to the point it was coming out of the top, priceless!
-
You need a pressure tester mate, this will tell you straight away if the needle and seat are leaking, you will never get it to run properly with a leak at the needle, just looking at will not tell you if it is leaking.
-
Quite possibly, does this machine have a purge bulb? If so have you connected the pipes up in the correct orientation? remember it’s a purge so pulls fuel from the carb and dumps back to tank, not pumping fuel into the carb.
-
Stating the obvious the inlet needle is leaking, so either the metering lever is too high, or the metering diaphragm is too stiff, the rubber tipped needle is worn, orn the seat itself is worn, which is pretty normal on an old power cutter due the abrasive dust passing through the carb, when you changed the carb, was it a Chinese copy carb? at best they are not very good.
-
It matters not what grease you use, it’s an open cage cage running on a very hot shaft, so it does not stay there very long, and much much quicker if you leave the saw idling for lengths of time.
-
£1200 for what? What bunch of crooks was this?
-
From what you are saying I think the best bet is to let someone with a wee bit more knowledge on chainsaws take a look at it, used or waste oil is not good to use in the oil tank for many reasons, one of which is you are breathing that in when it is flowing off the chain, bad practice sir.
-
Yes it is, we did use it at the apf last but one show, drew a lot of people onto the stand.
-
Christ here we are again running the saw with no bar and chain, I strongly advise you do not do that, on the over run they can, and will spin off, once away from the drum you have two shoes one spring and a spider flying through the air at speed. Yes clean the bar delivery holes, next you need to remove the clutch and check the oil pump gear behind, then remove the oil pick up pipe and filter and clean, has this been running with bio oil?
-
No it will still be tight on the shaft but the initial firing up starts to put a load on it, if it’s not tight enough, or it was not correctly seated in the key way it will shear, from what you have said it makes sense.
-
Sounds like it has sheared the flywheel key knocking the ignition timing out.
-
I believe that is the same saw as Husqvarna 235/236. should be available everywhere. Carb compl 586936202 gasket diagram set 545008031 full carb kit 545008032
-
Just a couple more, k65 and a 5 32 hand mower.
-
So here are some more of my machines, the f70 from 1964, the 65 is the last production machines to the UK from the Tomos factory, the ring saw is a very rare beast from the early 70s.
-
If you are not getting transfer between tanks then all is fine, you may, or may not believe this but I have sealed tanks and holes in tanks, use the very runny super glue, run a bead along the seam, now liberally sprinkle bi carbonate of soda over it, within minutes it will set like concrete, if necessary rub down and re apply, don’t knock this till you try it.

The only seal is an o ring at the bottom which is why over time they can leak between tanks, to get the manual oiler to the oil tank it has to pass through the fuel tank which is above the oil tank, if the o ring is disturbed your sealant could flow into the oil galleries.
-
Where is this tank actually leaking? You need to very careful putting sealant in the tank, the manual oil pump plunger and cylinder runs through the fuel tank and into the oil tank, on the bottom is a rubber seal to stop fuel leaking into the oil tank and visa ersatz, you could end up blocking the manual.
-
Hi Aled, I am pretty sure you can use the clamp from the old 372xp.
-
My MS90F from 1959, and clock from 1970 with picture of a 162se

254FG from the eighties, and my 42 special , plus very early chain spinner.

Sorry, yet another senior moment, this is what retirement has done to me.

Thank you sir. Excuse the bad language it is the owner of the saw, his stubby drove over it. IMG_0704.MOV
