These clamps were really a fix for the plastic unit that could fail rather than a 1st design.. other saws in the 300 group use a clamp akin to the Yamaha sort you mention. The updated intake partition kit makes ether sort of clamp work at there best (without modding the old one) , screw thread or pain in the butt sort😀
-
I know the clamp might seem like a pain in the arse but there are some good reasons they are like that. 1...its a pre set clamping force that with the proper intake gives a known sealing performance that Husqvarna will have tested....a screw clamp works fine but has to be done up to the right pressure and stay at that pressure. 2...the clamp, in best practice, is a fit once and replace if you remove the intake in the future (not often done and they are cheep). 3...it is low profile and can fit into the limited space in front of the partition wall easily. If you have a tool and instruction to instal , like most things its far less hassle than without.

Is the throttle rod plastic end worn ?

Stick them on a pallet and send them this way ?, il give them a good home !

What you describe is more or less the situation with the MV 100 . The carb is at at the back under the tank and the long tube exhaust covers one side so getting to the nut is not on , plus there isn't a way to use a socket due to lumps sticking out from the carb body. Must admit looking at a view of the jlo i thought you would have less of a bother with the carb on the side of the motor . The version of the MV i worked on had the usual quadrant control ..choke , flat out and back to idle then all the way back to stop. Having said all the negative...running right these 2 strokes are grate to use IMO.

It seems so Steve .....sharing knowledge (Hard earned sometimes !) is not top of my list ....Takes to long to type the blooming info half the F ,ing time .

Nasty !!! Do you happen to know if its the amount of time after being on constant charge and the gasses given off in those circumstances that can give this sort of result ? You would think that a battery being in a enclosed place in a car (for example) would cause a bad risk from the charging it gets from the alternator to keep it within voltage.

Maritime word.......A "Growler" is a genuine term for a small iceberg/chunk of ice .

A theoretical replacement for the 880 is in field testing/development stage at the moment .....

They look to be from the tank valve and tether that should be part of the tank fuel cap.
-
As long as there is no issues with the carb , still worth a look see....But....If its a "instant "cut out i would be drawn to electrics...eliminate the kill switch , check spark plug, plug boot and cable, have you a short somewhere. A few to be going on with.

Have you got the little white puck plug to put back over the installed vent stem Bill ? Most of this sort on the 200 group saws weep a bit i find , often when the tank is brimmed off at fulling then the cap screwed on...I don't think they are 1 way(or at least they don't seem to be) .... Same as a lot of vents at that time.

More noise .... no spark guarding on the new slits?
-
You can get a "girlie" manual !! ?.....excellent !
-
Here is some water.....now I hope this horse takes the time to drink !!!!

ms 171 181 211 copy.pdfYou "may" not have a proper manual ....I think some reading is in order for a better understanding of the issues you are having.
-
Pics are still there for me . (Edit..were at time of post..not now as of 7 pm mon 20th, odd . ) . Another thing to look at in the list. Check over the threads inside the clutch itself and the condition of the threads on the crank end.
-
Agree with that as shock loading can be a issue , you could look into the Oregon triple mulching blade for a more balanced load.
-
Don't be guided to much by the power specs of the MM4 motors in my opinion....they really do perform very strongly all through the rpm range... You have a very good spread of torque and power with these true 4 stroke motors.
-
Hi Craig. Not the Makita 43cc MM4 directly but I have a customer with the next one down in the MM4 range ..Dolmar MS3354U..34cc brush cutter. ...see pic. A very decent machine with way more grunt than you would think . The Makita 43cc (Dolmar MS4304U) machine has better anti vibe and more power so if you find the extra cash involved no issue then you could do a lot worse than the bigger CC machine .

Im Simon by the way. Thank you for taking the time with your post. Far from to much information....a truly fascinating back story to " Daisy Etta and its meaning. I incorrectly had her down as 1959 leading me to thinking D7D. What little first hand knowledge I have of Cat machines would be a few D2's that have been at the rallies that I used to attend with a few tractors of my own. Even with these small track machines, I can see what you talk of as to Cat build ethos! This takes me back to when the need for a extraction track on one of our wooded banks ended up with a Int TD6 dozer proving just how much value having some of this old kit can be. Im only sorry to say it was a mates rather than mine! All this vintage kit was cheep as you like not so long ago ...No more.
-
Im just being nosy now...you say your D7 is 128 hp, would that make it a 4 cyl and be a D7D ? Could you indulge my curiosity with a pic or two of it if its not a bother?
-
I would think with a smaller chunk the Matbro might start opening up the end. The thing Im keeping in mind is, once the blade in the ground or a wedge gets into the end grain the amount of force needed is a bit less as the wedge starts to do its job .Mind you.... Across the grain on a log brings things to a different end with manny a splitter. Tell you what though... the D7 gives you speed at the same time as force . Easy to make a hi tonnage splitter thats slow moving under load ...but a fast cycle hi tonnage one is another thing.
-
I take it you think that the D7 must be generating more tonnage to be able to do what it did ?
