hi carl358, you dont by any chance have a fly wheel for a stihl064, getting a pig of a kick off the pull start.cheers struie.
Unfortunately not mate, things like that do come up on ebay alot though.
What do you mean that you get a kick off the pull start though incidentally?

Don't sell it!! Really regret selling my 357, great saw and that looks in good nick. It'll still be going when the newer ones are on the scrap heap
Lol. Unfortunately it’s pretty much what I do for a living (amongst other things) I buy, do up, service and repair broken garden equipment. Just got a massive load of it which this saw came with. So need to sell it all now. Got shed loads of Stihl and Husky stuff which I’m really pleased about as it’s in great nick! ?

Looks a good £300 saw to me. The age has less to do with it than how much it has been used and how well it has been looked after.
I’ve had it stripped down and cleaned it all up, on the inside it looks really nice! Been well looked after by the looks of things.

I'd happily pay £300 for that if he doesn't buy it
Still hasn’t got back to me yet, I’m going to give it until tomorrow night then it’s up for grabs as far as I’m concerned Joe

Very droll......
I have seen people spend £200 on a wreck of a bargain and £400 on an immaculate same model saw. Which is the best value? One has very little use and needs a quick check over, the other needs a full rebuild and the costs of each now are pretty much the same but one saw is still well used and the other is............much better!!
Different perspectives!
I’ve told him £300 but I think I’d take £280, awaiting a reply, this is it btw. It’s 2007 with a 16” Bar

Look identical to that of mt Stihl HS85 I believe.
Really? That would be really handy! I’m collecting 2 HS85s today to repair and sell!
Oh hi from Norwich by the way!

Any numbers on the blades? I can check at work tomorrow for you if you want
No, thats the thing, there’s absolutely no marking on it

I’ve had these trimmer blades in my shed for a little while, bought them from a guy who had a few Stihl blades that I’ve used. So I’m only guessing they fit a Stihl machine too?
I’ve had them apart, cleaned up and sharpened them and there’s no makers marks on at all, just plain all over, they’re in great condition, seems a shame to just leave them in a corner, they don’t fit anything I’ve got.
So I was wondering if anyone recognises them from anything? They’re 77.5cm (30.5”) long (that’s the total length end to end.
Any guesses?

Ok anyone any idea how much a Husqvarna 357XPG is currently worth? It’s in great condition, runs sweet, all nice and clean etc etc. I want to sell it to a guy who wants to buy it! But no idea how much to ask? I’ve tried looking on loads of selling sites like ebay and all those, no one seems to be selling them!!? I don’t want to ask too much but then I don’t want to rip myself off either
any ideas?

Blocked exhaust perhaps. Check muffler and exhaust port.

Oh, fitted a new air filter too, have noticed it does spit out a little bit of fuel from the air intake, would that be anything?

Hi, I have a Stihl HS76 hedge trimmer, it runs and ticks over fine, but when you come to rev it, it’s slow, and only revs slightly higher than tick over but sounds really flat.
I tried to adjust the carb but no luck, new carb kit bought, noticed a chip out of a part of it so brand new carb bought and fitted. Same issue.
Compression i thought, removed spark plug which virtually fell out, so just fitted a new thread to it (helicoil) fitted nicely, new plug too. Same issue after trying to set up the carb but just doesn’t seem to want to have any guts to it. Compression is fine too, I’m nearly at a loss!! Anyone any other ideas???
-
Thank you, I’ll go over all those things and report back asap. Your help is greatly appreciated

If you have , comp , fuel and spark then perhaps the spark is not at the right time . Sheared fly wheel key maybe ?
Now THAT is one thing I haven’t looked at! Maybe it’s slipped round half sheared? I’ll have a look at that tomorrow, thanks!!

My TS410 isnt a patch on my old TS400, its had new pot, piston, crank, 2 coils, 2 carb rebuilds since i’ve had it, only had it about 3 yrs, not done mega work either, just flagging projects really. TS400 i’ve had for about 11 yrs, only thing its had is 1 carb rebuild, and bet its done 5 times more work easily, ?♂️ pot luck sometimes though i guess!
I have a TS400 in bits all ready for a clean up and rebuild, hopefully it’ll give me less hassle! Lol

Piston in right way round? Arrow to exhaust side.
Yep checked that, but thanks for the suggestion

Hi, yes, it has a very good and strong spark

Not sure if this is the correct forum for this but if anyone can assist I’d be very grateful...
I have a Stihl TS410 Circular Saw which won’t start, It had no compression when I got it so I’ve replaced the head, piston, piston rings and bearings as the piston was badly scored by the snapped rings. It has new fuel in it and a good spark, now good compression, I’ve checked all fuel pipes and everything that I’d removed to do the piston fix but it still refuses to fire. I’ve swapped the carb for a known working one but still nothing. But it has got fuel coming through to the air filter, I’m assuming that this is happening because of trying to start it so often.
Does anyone have any ideas? I’ve exhausted all my avenues so far...
Thanks in advance
Husqvarna 357XPG Price?

Well, true to form, I’ve had no reply from the guy who initially wanted it, so now it’s up for grabs if you are interested Joe?
