Nice. Get the earplugs warmed up.

Ohh I will as soon as I can find a bar and chain for it.

I tried to embed it, something changed in the site. What did you do to make it appear?

I found an LX-30 Bandit, does anybody know the specs of these things? I can't seem to find them anywhere. I have an XL (26cc), how does this Bandit compare to the smaller XL's?

thanks!

I know embedding here can be difficult and there are many ways to do it depending where the file is located.

This one was one of the easier ones.

I just opened your youtube file and copied the link which is VIDEO0004 - YouTube

I opened a reply to your post and clicked on the Insert Video icon and pasted the link in and clicked OK,

Check your work by using the preview post option and if OK, post it.

If you have any questions PM me and I will try to do more thorough job of explaining. I know it can be confusing and frustrating.

Thanks, used to be able to copy and paste the embed-ed link right on the page. Darin must have changed something.

I think it's a glitch in the software somewhere. I've used the embed code from YouTube on the same video in two different posts, it showed on one but not the other. F'n computers somedays...

Had quite a scare today...

This one gave me a scare. After replacing the PTO side crank seal on my bud's Homelite 750, I was setting the L-side when........................it blew a grey cloud out the side and crapped out. Compression was now near zero. WHAT THE ####???

Pulled the muffler and checked the P/C. Still in great shape and unchanged. Noticed that the spark plug and the underside of the transformer (Homelite's name for the 'coil pack' that sits on top of the plug on these saws...for those that don't know) were all grey and sooty. Underside of the transformer was a bit melted too. Hmm.....

Pulled the transformer and the plug. Damn plug insulator had come loose from the plug body. Weird stuff. Thank God it was a $2 plug and not a $300 plus (when you can find 'em) P/C set.

Now that's more like it. Installed a new plug, put things back together, and it's a runner. Crank seal solved the wandering tune and idle (when tilted) problem.

Man I wish I could still embed videos. Seems that Photobucket videos aren't supported here anymore. They used to be....

I was worried that the transformer got damaged.....but it's still working fine.

Transformer is the correct name because it has a primary and secondary winding. A coil generally has one winding. To be more precise it is a step up transformer.

That CJ8 could have just as easily been installed in your 790 ya peterhead. Both saws were on my bench at the same time. The Homelite survived the failed plug incident just fine. A real Red Saw fanatic could say that the mighty 750 was too much for the plug.
