Want to Sell Mastermind/Murphed/Scored 346xp

[LowVolt]

It's heading back to Tennessee.....

Did he buy it or is he going to fix it for you? Some days the daily grind gets a little boring. I like to solve a good head scratcher every now and then. No doubt Randy is up to the challenge. Can't wait to see what he finds.

As paul harvey says we need the rest of the story???

 

[griffonks]

It's another example of going above and beyond in service.....

I woke this morning kinda in a pissy mood. This thread made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Thanks guys.

 

[Mastermind]

The saw is apart and the jug is looking like it will clean up.

I'm in NC at the moment visiting my mother......when I get home I'll be getting back to it.

 

[redfin]

Just can't stay away huh? Hope your enjoying yourself Randy.

How did I miss this thread???? Musta had my head in the mud. I remember selling a saw to Joe, and I remember putting the Weedeaterman P/C kit on it for Steven. I would bet my left man-ball that it had new seals, fuel line, and filter when it went to Joe. If anyone involved needs anything for this saw, let me know.

Randy, let me know if you need parts...gotta shelf full of NE pistons.

Neal, I need to buy a saw from you just because..... Stand up dudes you guys are. I don't own any little huskys.

 

[Mastermind]

We all are just doing the best we can.

But that ain't to bad sometimes. lol

 

[Full Chisel]

Well I know who to send a saw to when I need work done in the future! Some stand up fellas right here. I might be making a move on a local 346xp, I hope I don't have the issues the OP had, but IF I do, I know where to send it! Bravo. Hope you get the bugs out of that saw and get it screaming again.

Neal's a Good Dude.Bought the 036 Back from him in the Spring for my Buddy Steve to replace his MS390 he was trying to Log with.Him and his son where Cutting out Fence Rows and on Bucking up the second tree it Locked up tight.After I had torn it Down I found that it had the Shielded Bearings in it where Stihl had installed for a short time.The Bearings had caused Crud to build up in the Seal lips causing an Air leak.I could tell from the Scoring on the Piston from the exhaust side all of the way to the clutch side transfer.Intake side and Flywheel side of the Piston was like brand new.The 036 Had Very Low Hours on it so I knew that it wasn't Neal's Fault and I knew it wasn't my Buddy's fault because he is Anal about Oil and Gas like I am and I had retuned it and Noodled Several Blocks of Firewood with it and it was running very well.
Contacted Neal and He sent out a Replacement Piston.I'm doing the Rebuild for experience and my buddy Gladly bought replacement Bearings and Seals.I've been working on it as I get time but I misplaced one of the Bearings but put another on order the other day Just in case the Lost one doesn't turn up.
Anyway I would be more than willing to buy any saw from Neal and Many other Members from this board.

I found the problem........

The fuel line was too long between the tank and carb floor. It was smashed a bit, and almost had a hole worn through. The jug cleaned up pretty well......and it's being reassembled right now.

 

[lwhaples]

Good read, Good people. Glad to hear it's headed home soon,and will cut yet again.

The devil's in the details! Glad you got it sorted out.

Awesome read, excellent work and service! Kudos.

 

[Downer]

I feel like a video is necessary of this saw cutt'n just to satisfy the time invested in this saga...

 

[Mastermind]

It's back together.......but I've not had time to really run it much.

 

[Landmark]
