    345 rebuild, spark but no fire????

    How would I check flywheel? What exactly am I looking for? Like I said before, it has spark but maybe not at the right time??

    345 rebuild, spark but no fire????

    Yes I was referring to the coil gap when I said gap set at .305mm. I checked compression tonight and after 3 pulls she was at 90, however, the threaded section of my tester was too long to be fully threaded to the shoulder and o ring seal. I had to make due with Teflon tape and partially run...

    345 rebuild, spark but no fire????

    Not as wet as I would have thought it would be from pulling it 100 times. Even with dumping a little fuel right in there.

    345 rebuild, spark but no fire????

    I did try dumping a little fuel (fresh) and still not go. It appears to have had straight fuel failure. New bearings and seals installed.

    345 rebuild, spark but no fire????

    Didn't check compression yet, can't find my gauge.... Sealed bottom with hondabond, if your not familiar it's great gasket material resistant to oil and gas. Used supplied gasket in between spacer and jug.

    345 rebuild, spark but no fire????

    So I picked up a basket case husqvarna 345 for $20 to use as a beginner learning experience. Put on a cheap 350 jug kit (yes china) and new carb. Fuel line shows fuel, plug has spark, but she won't fire up. Adjusted carb to factory workshop numbers. Impulse line appears ok, not pinched. There...

    345/350 carburetor help needed

    Since I don't have the primer set up it sounds like I should be using the C3-EL18B. Is there a difference between the C3-EL18B and the C3-EL18? If not, it has me curious since I found a C3-EL18 on the bay and the seller specifically wrote in their description that carb (C3-EL18) that it would...

    345/350 carburetor help needed

    So I bought a basket case husqvarna 345 and I decided to use it as a learning project. It had a walbro 159a with a stripped low side needle hole and I need to replace the whole carb. Since the 159a is not longer available I'm not sure which carb to use as there are 4 different options. I would...

    I'm looking for a bar mount chart

    So I'm trying to find a bar mount chart that not only lists dimensions but also which saws used that pattern. I've been on the chainsaw collectors corner and they have a great page of different mounts/patterns with pictures and dimensions but no specifics about what saw manufacturers and saw...

    Classic neighbors tree hanging over my yard deal

    Interesting info. I talked to the neighbor this past weekend and they gave me permission to cut down anything hanging over the fence. They also gave me permission to drop the whole tree if I wanted to. It's an older couple and from what it sounded like to me, they are tired of constantly...

    Log splitter wedge design??

    So I've got a new to me splitter, homemade, and it has a 4 way splitting wedge on it. I'm not a fan of the 4 way wedge because unless you have the perfect size log your splits end up pretty uneven. When I go to re-split the larger pieces I end up with a bunch of splits coming off the horizontal...

    Aftermarket 4-Way Wedge for Iron & Oak Splitter?

    I'm not sure if you have ever used a 4 way wedge so I'm going to give you my opinion on them to maybe save you from spending money you dont need to. I recently bought a splitter that has a 4 way on it and even though its homemade its still the same theory as any 4 way splitter head and I...

    Classic neighbors tree hanging over my yard deal

    Thanks for the advice guys. I definitely not interested in pissing off the neighbor so I'm going to tread lightly here after I get a little more info on how these things usually play out. Got a call into my insurance agent who covers my homeowners and auto so I should have those questions...

    Classic neighbors tree hanging over my yard deal

    Hard to see the detail in the pics but about 1/4 of the tree is down in the neighbors yard (no chainsaw marks) and when I first looked at the house there weren't tree limbs in the neighbors yard and there also used to be an evergreen about 8' wide and 8' tall planted behind my truck that somehow...

    Update, stove working great thanks to proper maintenance and good advice from the thread contributors. I finally grew a set and started loading it up using the north south orientation using smaller fatter splits and playing around with the air intake and now have no problems burning at 400...
