Well Bedford T i went ahead and ordered a Tillotson hs-320a today it should be here sometime next week $55.99 I like.
No issues with my coil. I have gotten bad ones in the past. I love the kits. I love them starting every single time I asked them to.Well on the coil i found that stens coils aren't to bad on price ive used there coils on ms440 and a 044. Have you had much problems with the farmertec coils??
Yep so far I'm not a big fan of the carb that i got from them but I've seen bran new oem ones to. LolNo issues with my coil. I have gotten bad ones in the past. I love the kits. I love them starting every single time I asked them to.
So over the past few months I have been buying oem carbs and coils for everything. When I find a oem coil I can afford I will buy it and keep it until mine dies, which it will sometime and then install it. Until then it assures me I can trouble my saw. All else being equal those are the items most likely to let us kit owners down.
I would rather use a FarmerTec. They likely make them for Stens. Stens does not manufacturer their stuff. Might some things.
Lol. I admit I'm pretty picky about what carb go's under the hood of my rigs.We can be picky. Nothing wrong with choosing a better whatever. We built it we can do it our way. I remember guys bragging about their favorite 4 barrel carb in their car. No difference here
I had further trouble with my saw. You guys might want to look at what happened. Its what you don't see that gets you. To 5:10 to understand whats going on and then fast forward to 12:47 should make it less painless. I had something similar to this happen on my 380. These things make you excel at troubleshooting!
You can't help but wonder how many are like that. A tiny flaw can cause a lot of trouble. I have built a lot and never once looked down the throat. I will from now on.Lol. Leave it to be something simple to make you scratch your head. Thanks to you running in to that problem I'll be looking at mine tomorrow night.
Yep I'll let you know for sure what I find and I'll take some pictures for you totYou can't help but wonder how many are like that. A tiny flaw can cause a lot of trouble. I have built a lot and never once looked down the throat. I will from now on.
Will be interested to hear
Well thats not good but at least you had a spare. Now then I took a look at my vent today and this is what it looked like and its just fine but my vent is why different than the one you got in your kit.It's one thing after the other. I went to my shop and was going to crank up the 660. Could not cut. It's too nasty for me right now and more rain to come. I still wanted to hear it idle.
So I noticed my cord druping so I took cord off and rewound and notice a problem it appeared with the spring
No doubt with the trouble I had with that cross cylinder. It had bent several things. So I pulled the rotor and it had jammed up the end. Fortunately I had a spare spring. If I had not checked it would have ruined the rotor
Yea I was thinking about getting a oem one and the seal to because of how spungy it feels.View attachment 630706 View attachment 630705 Glad it's not pandemic on the vent obstruction. If I were you I would change that vent out. The one I had was fine and I thought they went to the mushroom because of the problems we had with that design. That one has a little duckbill that will cause problems or did in the past.
they dont sell oem. i have not looked but they sell a lot of farmertec which that part is.HL supply has them on sale today
Yep cheap enough to make it last a long time for sure.I wonder how they make decisions. The mushroom was different looking but the design I thought was changed because of the duckbill and now it reappears. looks like they would make sure that lost cost part would be as effective as possible so people would not run into issues. now that you mention it i am going to order the grommet, then the vent should work a long time. its not but 6$ vent at stihl so its not a lot of money
