I'll try it on my new 372 today. Good idea.
Here you go. I did this a few weeks ago, before the rings. [MEDIA]
http://www.harborfreight.com/compression-test-kit-8-pc-69885.html This is what i borrowed from a buddy.
Anyone know for sure what the compression should be? I've read different numbers different places. And it varies widely.
Finally got a tool from Stihl. Couldn't find anything else locally. Rings are in and saw back together. Exact same compression as before. I...
Yeah that's going to be tricky. I don't have the size so I'm going to have to find one.
Thank you! I thought about that right after I posted that and walked to the house from the barn. Headed that way after dinner.
Ok, someone let me in on the secret. How do I get to the head bolts? Find are in the way on each corner and its tight.
I did. I was just posting back after my tune up with the results. I'll end up putting some rings in it i'm sure. mdavlee-it's got a brand new...
Took the saw back on the hill to do another test cut. Same result, after the tune up. I've got a friend who's coworker has a 660 and a 36" bar...
Things are going well used the truck to haul some brush I cleared Sunday. And of course the heater core is leaking in the cab! I figured this...
The tabs are still there, or at least I think so since they screws stop.
Taking it all the way out, counter clockwise is just cutting fuel right? How's that going to help?
Counter clockwise? It was basically there, I had maybe a 1/4 turn to get to the stop turning counter clockwise.
Correct. I should have specified that I did that to see how it would react. I carry a small screw driver with my tools and will adjust...
I pulled the saw plasic off today and did a bunch of cleaning. I also pulled out the decomp and got it working, it just had a build up on it,...
Yes I pulled till the gauge quit. I can't tell what the decomp is doing. I didn't want to pry on it if it was out. I'm reeeeeally wanting to...
A bath is certainly in its future. I'm going to start with a good tune up-plug, air and fuel filter and some fresh gas. I'm still on the gas he...
That's kind of my thought. With the top of cylinder being hid under the plastic, it's very hard to get a firm grip on the fitting to screw it in....
