What's on your bench now?

046 oiler control bolt,,,

 

Cleaned my XS7900 with compressed air. Went to fire it up and it lost spark. The switch had no tactile or audible click between on and off.




The two halves of the switch had come apart. I had to get it out of the housing. I tried to get a small screwdriver behind the switch but no dice. It went right back together once I pressed them back together. This is the kinda problem I can deal with.

 

no dolmars up here much so kinda forgot they used the husky style kill switch that seems to like to break for me. Cheap enough to buy a new one though.

 

Have 2 500i’s and a 201 tcm in shop for tlc, just did 4 other 500’s for minor stuff, couple 201 tcm and a 194 last week. Sharpened about 4 dozen chains that the tree service drops off 100 or more at a time.

 

It’s a husky style kill switch but on and off are reversed. I’m don’t own any husky saws so I’m not fighting a habit and getting frustrated.

 

So not the same switch just flipped 180 in housing to make off away from handle?

 

maybe. The Makita to switch it off is away from the handle. The husky is off towards the handle is my understanding.

 

Ok I am near a husky saw so here’s the pics like u said.

 

From a very tired husky 61,, not running good ,, have never seen this B4

 

Leaking fuel into the bar oil tank.

I was going to take out a go fund me account to buy the parts, because I read on the internet that stihl is $$$$, and only rich guys that can afford hotel stays can pay the prices. Disaster averted. The Local dealer is getting me two @ $5 a piece.

 

Then there's this. May or may not have been caused by the ham fisted window licker putting the bar on. If that is the case, it's the first one I've ruined. I will be erring on the side of caution with looser bar nuts going forward just in case.

 

Both the through the case bolt style or the thread in with the flange on the back that hits the bar is far superior to this design.

 

G288
Owner said it was cutting out like a bad sparkplug
It was just the Ignition module was just loose
Hel likes to tinker so i don't know if he did it or not
I loctited it.
The ropes on all 5 g288s I've seen are extremely short so i changed it.


It's a strong running 288.

 

New to me Jonsered 2150. Cleaned the carburetor, replaced the gaskets and diaphragm, and changed out the fuel line. Fires right up and runs very crisp.

 

My friend has a tire machine and balancer saves me a lot of money
I just needed one tire but locally they are 150-170.00
I bought 2 off of walmart for 112.00 shipped.

 

I think you’ll like that after getting some trigger time. I love how light they are.

 

346 cylinder was scored pretty good.


I’ll give it a go. Have to get a Meteor slug and some other smalls.

 

Starting a new restoration Homelite Super wiz 77 it will take a little while to do this one she is a little rough the crankcase is broken off behind the gearcase cover the old owner gave me the saw and all the new parts to fix it ( He bought the parts in 1980 !! to fix it and never did ) the cylinder looks good so we will see what happens JB

 

My 028av wood boss is back apart. It’ll be an 028 super with a 2mm larger bore and pop up piston when it goes back together. This’ll be a good opportunity to really get this saw spotless as last time around I left the tank on.

 

CAD strikes again. I bought this pair for $50 total. Really I only wanted the Husqvarna but I had to buy both to get the deal. I’m sure Eggshooterist would approve of the wild thing I probably won’t touch the Poulan for a while but I’ll start going through the Husky soon, cleaning the carburetor and giving it a good once over. The guy hasn’t started either of them in 5 years.
