Are you Poulan our leg?
As long as no one is Pogoing our leg we will be ok.
Are you Poulan our leg?
I have continuity with it flat on the bench the probes don't fit in side so I can't wiggle it..Maybe your crushed wire is broken inside the insulation or shorting to ground. You could pull that wire and check for continuity if you have a meter. If you do have continuity, wrap the wire with electrical tape and try it.
Check the plug wire at the coil to make sure it's making proper contact as well.
Well give it a try you have nothing to loose. I do not know how long shop paper towels will hold up before needing replaced or how well they will filter or restrict air flow.
I probably need to find better material but I re-flocked a Poulan 2700 air filter. I removed all the old flocking and glued pieces of thick shop paper towels over it.

I use hard felt sheet. You can usually get it at craft stores. It works and flows air really well without letting fines through. I think even better that some OEM filters. Washes easily when it gets dirty too.
Make sure you hold it up to the light in the store to make sure there aren't areas that are thin. I've tried a bunch of stuff and that works the best. Another if you're in a pinch is to unravel a pleated air filter (used is OK) from a car. Passes air well and is pretty tough stuff.

You can also pull on the wire a little at a time not to hard but like you are trying to straighten it. If the wire in side is broken the insulation will stretch at the break point. That how I check wiring at work on autos if I suspect a wiring issue is causing an electrical problem.I have continuity with it flat on the bench the probes don't fit in side so I can't wiggle it..
Will test plug wire in the morning

BB did a thread on this fix. I cant remember the material he used off hand.
I'll look into it tomorrow unless you know already.
I'm renovating a 295 and the bolt that holds the AV spring to the cylinder broke trying to remove it. Any thoughts on a good way to get the broken piece out without wrecking the cylinder?
Thanks
I have repaired some two-piece frame filters by recovering them in fine, screening silk. Those 026 squeels are pushing $40 for replacements. You can also get wire fine wire filter screen if so inclined.
The felt is inexpensive and easy to work with though. I've experimented with it for different filters and it works as well as the OEM ones. If not, better. As mentioned, do check carefully for uniform density using the light test. This can vary substantially throughout the piles of colours at the craft store.
I usually form the felt over a couple of days with the frame and cover in place. I will wet them and let them dry in place. Then, a spray adhesive on the mesh, and the already pre-formed felt is bedded.
Cheapskate fix for the 3400-4000 series, as new AM ones aren't so cheap by the time they get to your door in Canada.

Another application. Simple frame out of plastic and a double layer. Clean running Homie now.

Thinking of going with some colour this weekend. 20+ Celsius = cutting time. Had this combo out last year and it works well for the 18" and under.
