You use what you have, if you're going to buy anything go buy the spare for the actual damaged part. As far as looms go use fibreglass weaved then, not plastic.

To repair what Hunowie mentions you should remove the cap, slide some heatshrink sleeving on, shrink it, slide another layer, shrink it. then finally reattach the cap and use a ziptie to hold the cable in place so it won't rub onto anything metal, if you also heatshrink your ziptie you'll have a...

I didn't read every post on this thread, but I think you're looking at it the wrong way. The first thing that came to mind is an electric motor, anchored to the test platform and a modified chain (no cutters, just to transfer energy). You can then characterize the chainsaw by monitoring the...

I would so buy this... How much you reckon the shipping would cost to Argentina? :msp_w00t:

Amazing build! I wouldn't bother with SHCs on the muffler, but I would add some lock washers.

I'm seeing a lot of air on the return line from the primer bulb on one of my saws, is this due to a damaged fuel line? what else could cause such behaviour? It's giving me some idling and starting problems (this one too! but it's not a dirty carb unfortunately!) Thanks.

But what about aluminum sheet?

Can you typically use thin aluminum sheet to make gaskets or copper is the only suitable material when it comes to metallic gaskets? I need to make a base gasket...

What movie is this from? http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii51/rlevns/LEFTY.gif

the sludge was saw dust and what seemed like pocket lint to me, it was not plastic. I use some old rubbermaid gas cans (red plastic, probably 2.7 gal or similar size, can't recall exactly), never had a problem with them. Don't think they put ethanol on our fuel just yet. I use "Super", not...

And she runs! pop and start on the first pull, adjusted L a bit and put the idle screw back on it's place, it idles now although a bit rough but I need to adjust the carb on a cut and see how it does once it's all warmed up! I think that was it, poop on the fuel strainer. My take is that the...

The air filter is always kept clean, I was mentioning the fuel strainer inside the carb, which was full of crud. I'm not too sure huskies are cleaner than stihls, depends on the use... oops, I just opened a massive can of worms didn't I? We'll see if she runs now

Well, I took the top cover off the walbro carb, the mesh was full of sawdust and other stuff... I'm not sure if there's a secondary mesh/strainer filter inside this carb, I never had to take it apart before. But pretty sure that was a factor in the poor idling. Seeing as that was dirty...

can't find the fault... sigh.

The acceleration is pretty snappy though, wouldn't a bad L cause a slow / delayed rev up? I'm puzzled by this... It's usually something obvious, but this is not the case :(

it's not punctured nor obstructed, after all the high-end of the engine is fine, any other ideas? :(

A Shindaiwa fan by chance? :msp_biggrin:

Whether I set the L screw lean or rich it just won't idle, eventually it bogs down on it's own. If I want it to "idle" I have to push on the throttle to keep it running (and it's not the idle screw, since I'm pushing it way higher rev than a normal idle would be) I noticed a bit of racing...

Make love to the chainsaw? :hmm3grin2orange:
