Hi there
I am wondering if anyone can advise me regarding a husqvarna 65 I am rebuilding
I bought this saw as a project build having just completed a rebuild on a 254xp (1995). And so far the posts on arboristsite have been a well of helpful info for both the current and previous projects
The 65 i have purchased had a scored piston and cylinder but did have 180 psi compression after 3 pulls when cold and started on 2nd pull from cold even with the scored piston ( exhaust side only). Not sure how the scoring occured could be straight petrol/gas but also the air filter was not mounted correctly when I got the saw so it was pulling unfiltered air.
I have stripped the saw completely replaced the 2 ring mahle piston with a single ring meteor piston 48mm (ordered but waiting on it). I have treated the cylinder with 37% HCl to remove aluminium transfer sanded with 400 grit wet and dry and polished with a scotch brite pad. The cylinder cleaned up very well.
I also stripped the carb (tillotson) and rebuilt it. However the carb was set at 3/4 turn for both the high and low screws does this sound right? Can anyone advise on the correct setting's
Also does anyone know what RPM should the high and low be set to under zero load (I have a tach)
Thanks for the help
