    Seized clutch the cause for starting and idling problems?

    So, I've replaced the clutch and after that it started right away. So the stuck clutch was causing starting and idling problems.

    Cheap parts online in Canada?

    That is the most dreadful, disturbing and indignant feeling one can get when ordering parts online. You do it to save the bucks and then it ends up costing you more than buying it at home? All because every thief (not including the suppliers here) in the chain is trying to take a cut. Outrageous...

    Cheap parts online in Canada?

    In most cases and with some dealers that's true. Specially if you have to place a small order like I needed in this case. I needed a clutch assembly and when I factored in shipping costs if I had to order it online I would have saved only $3. So I ended up going with the dealer- although it...

    Sorry, you're right, and it makes sense. I never thought about that.

    Had to share this: worse 361 rebuild

    If that ape forgot to install the gudgeon pin's needle bearing and you ran the motor without it then it might have damaged the gudgeon/wrist pin and/or the connecting rod end. So, even if you put the bearing back you might encounter further damage in the long term. I would check that the pin and...

    Seized clutch the cause for starting and idling problems?

    I have a Shindaiwa T230 grass trimmer that is extremely hard to start even though I replaced every single part you can imagine. It took at least 20 pulls trying with different throttle and choke postions to get it started, at the beginning it can't idle without pulling the throttle (otherwise...

    Cheap parts online in Canada?

    So you say that if you ship USPS don't get charged customs? I don't really get how customs works. Sometimes you don't get charged anything at all and other times you get charged HST and some other fees. It's very random. This happened to me with different stuff I've ordered through ebay and...

    Cheap parts online in Canada?

    Hey guys, I need to order parts for a trimmer and I was wondering if anyone in Canada knows of a cheap parts warehouse located in Canada (must avoid customs charges and long distance shipping)?? It's kind of a pain when you have to go get parts and the dealer charges you like double the price...

    Pist?n, anillo y cilindro rayados, pegados por pasta gris pegajosa

    Y al final averiguaste cual era el problema? Lo arreglaste? Pienso que quizás era un problema en la mezcla combustible/aire o habia alguna fuga de aire por algun lado. O quizas le estaban poniendo demasiado aceite al combustible o la máquina no tenía filtro de aire y se le metía toda la...

    had a chat with stihl rep

    Moisture can collect much sooner than in 60 days. I have a Shindaiwa line trimmer and the manual recommends not to use fuel older than 30 days (after dispensed FROM THE PUMP). And if you have to use old/stale fuel you have to use a fuel stabilizer, but I'm not sure if you can apply that after...

    Am I wasting my time with this Husky 181 cylinder??

    Holy #### dude! How many saws do you have? Or do you just fix them? I'm glad it worked. Did you just sand the cylinder or did you use the acid too? I used acid and sanded, but now that I'm done I'm pretty sure the acid was not necessary, just the sanding. Did your cylinder still have noticeable...
