7 psi both ways is enough. Be careful when you get up north of 10 a little bit on pressure. I have played around with it a little bit and at 13 or so it prolapsed a seal and spit the spring out
I think I had that but I’ve got to where parking on 10 is easier to track Physics aren’t justified but the accounting is
An air leak is one way to lean out a saw. Took care of that. It was minor at that on the vacuum side. On the put back I went through the brand new looking AM carb first. Hoping this was the major issue.
That's due to a lack of replacing the fuel filter regularly, right? Or perhaps a fuel filter that popped off. Is cleaning out a carb something that should be done on a schedule or realistically do most people just run them until something like this happens and then clean them?
There’s no hard fast rule, but typically it’s from when the fuel filter falls off or breaks off the line inside the tank and the saw continues to suck everything from the gas tank into the carburetor. But Mike had it happen on a brand new 572 with everything still intact
I had some sawdust/bar oil coco puffs when I opened up a donor saw's protector plate on a 372xp today. Heh heh. Never seen those before!! Hahahaha.
Gotcha. Wow that's weird. I guess it's cheap insurance to buy a bunch of extra filters. Which filter do you like to use? I ordered a bunch of new ones that look like this for the 372xp rebuilds. I like that you can open them up and clear them out without having to just replace them. Plus they have some heft to them and will help the filter follow the fuel when the tank is low.
That schmootz wasn’t helping anything, but a full clean and rebuild didn’t it get it to where it should be. Gave up on a repair and ordered the OEM tilly HS 181C. Made all the difference here’s the aftermarket next to the tilly. Two things immediately The hole that looks like an impulse is, but isn’t, ( I guess it’s a machining aid) is much further away from the barrel. Helps eliminate air leak if the gasket isn’t right on. The other is the volute size and geometry. OEM is way more pronounced. I generally have pretty good luck with the aftermarket carbs, but not this time. Saw came to me with this am carb.
This old husky 36 followed me home yesterday. Runs but seems to leak fuel around the carb somewhere. I guess I'll start with fuel lines and go from there.
262XP Handle bar and tank are a little cattywampus like it took a good hit. Starts and runs. Has 155psi Leaks fuel past the tygon fuel line and cries bar oil.
Tore down my sister's duromax 4000 Generator It has less than 5 hours on it The exhaust valve snapped the end off New valves on order.
Picked this up from my late friends estate Someone swapped out the original wheels and tires. It had only been ridden a few times Since he bought it new He only rode it a few times. Cleaned the carb and tank Oil change and a new battery It's like new for my nieces and nephews.
Husky 357 getting fully torn down and all wear items replaced or dressed up. It will get a little surgery from the rotary grinder as well... A little wire and J-B Weld will keep the cover cracks from getting any worse. Won't be pretty, but it's a work saw, not a museum piece. Checking the timing and making a plan. Splitting the case to replace bearings and seals. Lower transfers will get matched to case halves and opened up for better flow.
Friend bought this 271 4 months ago for his son The son straight gassed it The son read on Facebook you can Use 290/390 cylinders on it You cannot they don't fit and different impulse as well. I asked why he didn't take it to the dealer He had the quote was 450.00 to fix it Here's a 046 sprocket he ran He obviously doesn't maintain his equipment.
