Most 028s need a fuel and impulse line after sitting. Carb kit, filter, air filter a lot of the time, too. You got it for a fair price. Did you...
Did you get it running?
1123 series like the 250 seem to flood more than others. We had an easy start at one time and it was quite the misnomer. Try pulling the plug...
No worries. Everybody’s gotta start somewhere.
Aftermarket AV mounts are junk. They will not last long during normal use. The 1122 mounts are especially bad and will tear.
Yep, plastic cage. I’m not sure if any fell out but they definitely can as you found out. AM for saws has some major quality issues. Nearly all...
Three sister 1125 with aftermarket plastics. OEM where it counts. All have Meteors. Built over the last year or so.
Yep. It has to get really hot to ignite. I’m dropping some bearings into a 55 tonight. Also knocked a couple out of an 034 case. [ATTACH]...
If you’re not pulling (with a crank puller set or the clutch spider), you can get the fw side case started when it’s hot. That has a positive stop...
1. Yep. It’s critical for Stihl saws since the oil pump has a recess for the slightly protruding bearing. 2. I let it cool if I am pulling the...
Yep, no prob. There are many ways to do it. I avoid the ways that put too much stress on the cases, bearings, or crank.
I use two stroke oil for assembly.
There isn’t enough room on the crank stub to move the case (even with spacers). It’s possible on the pto side using the clutch and spacers. I...
You have a couple options, then. Get the bearings in the case. Do the pto first so everything can fully cool. Leave the oil pump on if the tool...
In my experience, Huskies are the easiest to drop bearings in hot cases. I’ve done 3/4 372s, a 262 and a 55… no problems. My procedure involves...
The flywheel side, yes. If you get the case hot enough. I don’t always freeze bearings since they form condensation quickly. I sometimes put them...
I use heat to remove bearings, yes. They can be tapped out without it but I fear the removal of material if heat isn’t used to expand the mag....
Yes. For high use/abuse plastic cages from 1125s and other models.
You can, but I always try to use heat differential when possible for interference fits. Know anyone with a puller? An option I would consider...
The fact that the bearing races are still tight to their surfaces is actually a good thing; the shaft isn’t worn and the cases won’t be wallowed....
