Mountfield TDL 484 TR given to me last year with an engine that was knackered, I took engine off and left it at that until I could find a replacement, now got a replacement and want to fit it, but for the life of me I cant work out what this spring attaches to, one end is hooked through the body of the mower. Should the other end attach to the rear axel drive?

If you tell us the running issues your saws having we may be able to point you in the right direction -
stihl Replacing cylinder and piston Stihl MS 260
EricBradley replied to Craig Howe's topic in Chainsaws
I'm guessing you've not removed it yet, how do you know its worn? -
Talking to a MOT tester about this yesterday, he says you are still allowed to drive away from a test centre if you fail on major or dangerous items.

I am coming to my caravan in Scarborough this weekend, I can throw a 170 in the car and call up to Whitby and drop it into that ravine for 150 quid, it will pay for the weekend for 5 minutes work.

357 as if it was any other model it would be still running
-
br500 550 and 600 are all the same engines, only way to get more blow from a 500 is change the fan and housing to one from a 600 as that's the only difference
-
all miss firing is down to ignition. Nothing else as far as ive ever seen
-
Nothing wrong with that sprocket IMO, its obviously warn but there is a lot of life left in it.
-
How do you stand with insurance if its involved in an accident as I doubt it will be CE marked and we all must have seen the video of the cheap plastic used for the chain brake handle
-
Them bloody flywheels, at least the taper was correct, Hutzel actually sell a flywheel for 361 where the key isn't cast into the flywheel its separate like all genuine saws should be before accountants started building them.
-
I do hope you checked the flywheel taper on the crank and in the flywheel its self are a matching taper, seen a couple of hutzl saws where they aren't.
-
Put the ignition coil on first and then the oil pump as the oil pump holds the lead in place, I tell myself that every time I build one but still end up putting on and removing the pump twice as many times as needed
-
Make sure the bearings go in the right way round, cant remember which way without looking at them but they will go in the wrong way round, look right and fit but they are wrong.
-
wait till its warm to fill it right up then, no point looking for problems when they are so easily overcome.
-
if its been running fine and now is not working as it should, it wont be just a carb fiddle that puts it right.
-
Flywheel side crank seal is a killer of this series of saws, so make sure you check the seals

Stihl MS181, Hard to pull cord,wont start.
EricBradley replied to mickyblueeyes's topic in Chainsaws
yeah its a oem cylinder and piston, I always think when seeing a ms171 ms181 ms211 piston that the speeds and feeds on the lathe have been wrong and left a poor surface finish, but it looks like all the original parts ive seen. Nice that offers of help are there, shouldn't be too long before this saw is up and running again. -

Where in the country are you? One of us maybe local enough to just pop round and take a look. -

EricBradley replied to mickyblueeyes's topic in Chainsaws
if it pulls over easy with no plug in as stated in first post and is hard to pull with the plug in its got to be compression related, it cant be anything else, sounds slightly like hydraulic lock. -

EricBradley replied to mickyblueeyes's topic in Chainsaws
if it pulls over easy with no plug in its nothing seized up or stuck by rust, most likely the oil in the cylinder is causing the greater compression when the plug is in, pull it over upside down with no plug in a few times and it should be ok. -
they are just tabs to stop getting crap in the holes of the exhaust, they were never needed in older saws and only needed now due to the use of bio oil that bakes rock hard and fills the T27 drive holes full of crap so that it needs picking out to get the bolts out to remove the exhaust.
-
Says it bogs and dies so could be lack of compression. I'm still going with the coil especially if its one with a brown back rather than the ever reliable blue backed ones.
