Do you have any experience on removing welch plugs? Can you share any usefull advice on this? Thanks Inviato dal mio iPad utilizzando Tapatalk

Once (something like ten years ago and more...) Alpina and Castor were designed, produced and manufactured in northern Italy. Nowadays I know they are a Chinese production line; I cannot say anything more about their quality/value Inviato dal mio iPad utilizzando Tapatalk

That's very strange to me.... I've never heard of such a fashion, and I've always thought that oil+dust compounds is something that must be cleaned! You're saying that tick layer is corrosion protective??? Sure?? Thanks for your explanation...

Sorry, maybe I didn't understand very well... Are you saying that in a 3" bare concrete floor distance you measured 2,3 mV?!?!? Did you find out a new energy source?!? Sorry, I'm sure I didn't catch very well, so I'd appreciate a clearer explanation Thanks

Side connection shall be connected to the tank. Top connection is the impulse line, from engine/carter pressure/vacuum line. Impulse line lets carb to act as a fuel primer, to suct fuel from tank Inviato dal mio iPad utilizzando Tapatalk

That's very interesting! A couple of questions: - How did you figured it out? It's not easy at all!! Did you open carb while it was hot?? - What do you mean with "knock it down a tad"? Do you adjust lever highness?? Can you explain to me a little bit better? I'd appreciate it a lot Thanks...

I've done! I'd like to share with all of you my experience, now that I've fixed my chainsaw. I'd done pressure test of carter: Ok, no leaks detectable If it is not air leak, must be carb issue Then I started to disassemble again the carb, this time I decided to remove the H welch, because...

Are not you afraid to use 10psi for crank case pressure test? Wouldn't you be concerned about oil seal integrity at that pressure level? My concern is that 10 psi could damage oil seals. I've always been told to test no more of 5-6 psi, just for this reason. If you have other useful and...

A couple of years ago, I rebuilt a super EZ, changing a lot of things... If you need to split it, take into account that the rolling bearing are difficult to find. Only NOS. About your question, I'm sorry, I do not have any specific idea for a likely place for leaks... Inviato dal mio Moto...

Very good suggestion! I appreciate it a lot! But I don't know where to start my search, and I don't know how to look for a chinese carb (model for instance...) By the way, today I've asked for a new WT 429A. It costs 104 euro!!!!

Thank you all for your replies... I appreciated all a lot! Just to keep you updated on the final test after rebuilt the saw. What I did, at the end, was: Clean piston and cylinder Replace piston ring (new one has 0,20 mm clearance, old one about 0,50 mm). Before doing this task I took care of...

No, I'm sorry! Now my saw is all disassembled! Once all overhaul is finished, I can send you a picture. Antonino Leone Inviato dal mio Moto G (4) utilizzando Tapatalk

Port it?? I have absolutely no idea how to do that! [emoji15] I think to leave it at its design state... Inviato dal mio Moto G (4) utilizzando Tapatalk

I'm a heavy reader of this forum but, caused I'm not a english native speaker, I posted very few posts. This time I'd like to ask some useful tips about a major overhaul I'm performing on my Castor CP500 chainsaw. Let's start from the beginning. The reason I decided to perform such a task on my...

Why does it make difference? Inviato dal mio Moto G (4) utilizzando Tapatalk

As we are talking about P/C tolerance, I'm wondering what should be the gap between ends of piston ring when it is only fitted inside the cylinder. What are the Min value (piston ring brand new) and Max value (max allowable value before rings replacement)? Thanks Inviato dal mio Moto G (4)...

Very good explained! Thanks Inviato dal mio Moto G (4) utilizzando Tapatalk

You are right! This possibility is a real risk. But, sorry, I don't understand how you remove the wedge. Maybe it my poor English, but if I pull the halves together with a wedge between the counterweight, how and when should I remove the wedge? Thanks in advance Inviato dal mio iPad...

I have done a complete overhaul of my old Super EZ a couple of years ago. I bought some spare parts from " Leon's chainsaw parts & repair". Excellent service! I can share a useful doc: spare parts list. I have Homelite Service Manual too, but it's to big to send here (75 MB). Inviato dal...
