Started this morning, then went 2 work,,,, finishing touches tonight, will fire her up tomorrow.
I'll keep you Stihl lovers entertained soon, I have a couple 460/660 needing some tlc.

Oh look mum, it's a boat mooring, but how silly. It's only got a 20" chain.

Came up nicely. ! What is it? 395?



I have a 6 litre. It can submerge a jug no problem; getting a crank case half would need to be double the size I would say.
I'll check in the morning how a 044 fits in mine.

Vince, are they expensive to run?

Do you just use water or add chimicals as well?

How much to buy s/hand for a half decent 6ltr one do you know?

All the ones I looked at about a year ago were medical grade and cost a mint.

Saw a good video on how to run a good test on them to make sure they are working using a piece of tin foil....looked neat

I buy & repair wrecks/non running small engines all the time.
I build them as a hobby 4 resale, or sometimes to race, or just add to my collection.
I'm a little OCD when it comes to rebuilding, if it's worth doing....it's worth doing right!!!
I have a husky 61, and another 3120 waiting to hit the bench, along with a 460&660.
Trying to race most wk ends ATM as well.... Busy busy busy

No not at all. Water and a cup of green clean or similar.

Just read the feedback on 4 different sellers on Ebay of these 10ltr ultrasonic cleaners and it's not great.

Do these things attract scammers and frauds?

I can't have get myself to push the buy it now button.

Being broke doesn't help either....lol

 

[VinceGU05]

My 6 litre works great. But it is Chinese made. So it's always a coin toss.

 

[460cixy]

My chinga one works great. So good it will remove anadizeing or zink/ nickle coatings with ease if left running too long

Big horizontal cuts are easy to stuff up when using a bigger bar....I've found too. And I've only got a 28", not a 84"

Chain blunting out fast, small push and it starts to twist and it's all down hill, then the chain comes off just to show your done....never had the bar fall off though....that's a pissa.

I just slow everything down a few notches and hope the chain pulls it in nicely and let the bar follow...if I have to push the bar down into the cut I find the chances of it stuffing up go up hill fast with a long bar.
