Completely different pump on the 288xp, fully adjustable pump, if you have changed the pick up pipe and filter it rules that out, as I tried ( maybe not well enough) the oil pump shaft rotates, however it has to have a throw to pump oil, so it rotates and moves in and out, this allows it to pick up the oil on the rearward stroke and deliver on the forward stroke, the flat on the pump shaft is timed to the pick up and delivery holes in the pump body to achieve this, to increase oil flow you cannot increase the pump speed as this is controlled by the engine speed, so it is achieved by increasing the throw of the pump shaft, so either the shaft is not rotating, or you have no throw on the shaft, I.e the shaft is only rotating.

I am fairly sure you cannot grease the bearing through the end of the crank.

As said the cutaways are ti jarr the clutch of, do NOT use anything to lock the piston, just jarr the clutch off against the compression, there is a workshop tool available to remove the clutch if you want to invest, and yes it is the same clutch as on the 346xp, I can get you the part no. of the ppl if you wish.

The 440 has a filter in the base of the oil tank, it is held in with a single screw, you can see it if you look underneath the saw between the fuel tank you will see it, also bear in mind for the oiler to pump it needs a throw on the shaft, on the non adjustable pump this is achieved by an eccentric cut into the the nylon gear, and a small pin pressed into the crankcase, if the pin has fallen out you loose the throw and no pump.

No lover of Stihl machines, however if its on the metering cover of the carb then its a compensator carb you have purchased, it should go into the air filter box for it to function correctly, i would guess you could just change the cover from the original non compensated carb,

Just a breaker, a spinner and plain/preset tie straps and your away, if you want a reel holder to make it easier to get the chain off the roll, and a chain length sticker for the bench.

Best entry level chainsaw in to the forestry sector?
adw replied to TheGingerMan's topic in Chainsaws
If you prefer Husqvarna then the 550xp mk11 or G if you fancy heated handles would be my preference. -
They are ok, however you still need chain oil and at least two batteries fully charged ready to go, a right pain if you run out of battery use half way through.
-
There is so little material in this area it is very difficult to do a permanent repair, it’s not just the centre thread it’s raised section to centralise the the hand guard in that area, I fear another crankcase, or at least half crankcase.
-
I have seen most things but I can honestly say not broken starter cover screws on 560, plenty on K760, as Steve says make sure you get the centre pop smack in the middle because it takes a split second to wander off and into the magnesium, I can understand a bit better a second breaking if you carried on with three holding the cover, best of luck sir.
-
Bloody Hell Steve leave something for me to comment on, all I can do is iterate what Spud has said.
-
Where on the machine does it say 245e? i am pretty sure we never had a 2 series 45cc with e start? pictures will help identify this machine, we can then better give advise on a possible way forward.
-
I have to be honest I cannot remember a 245, is that definitely the right model, there was a 245r brush cutter, back to Downton for me now.
-
He means the sprocket bearing, there will always be end float on the drum, it is very unlikely to come away from the oil pump drive gear.
-
359 had an open transfer port cylinder, not the best cylinder to get the best performance from.
-
Just be careful when re fitting the metering cover, the protrusion on the cover needs to to fit back against the seal in the filter housing, this is due to it being a compensator carb.
-
This subject has been argued for years, inboard clutch usually means inboard brake, brake not working so back to the repair shop, outboard clutch and brake and brake can just be replaced in the field and machine working again, inboard clutch means closer to the crank so less gyroscopic force, plus easier to replace the sprocket rim, however needs more elaborate means of driving the oil pump, you pay your make and make your choice.
-
Sorry if I misunderstood, I thought you were just cutting fire wood.
-
Not sure what you are even doing with a top handle chainsaw to be honest??
-
I really do not think this will be an issue, you could argue for the centrifugal air cleaning to work correctly it should be air tight in the carb/ filter compartment, all the air to the filter should be pre cleaned before entering the filter compartment, not coming in via gaps between the cover and crankcase.
-
As much as I am going to hate saying this but you should not use an impact gun to tighten the clutch, there is always a chance if you are too over zealous you can shear the flywheel key other side, stick to running up and knock the brake on a couple of times, ok I am ready for the flack.
-
The black filter is classed as a winter filter, so order the yellow 44 micron filter, nw is non woven for dirty/ burnt wood, good filter but harder to clean,

I will try to put some pictures on of mine fitted to a 254FG

The early 162fg had a breather fuel cap, unlike the later machine which was solid, the early small oil cap is no longer available, has the owner got the bag for it? there were two different sizes of bag but again thet are also no longer available
