    We have a lombardini diesal engine on a log splitter
    It's broke everything we've tried
    Leather paracord and various brands of saw rope
    Still hasn't broke true blue after a year.

    I started looking into a Dolmar PS 9000 I picked up, with no spark.
    Got under the recoil and didn’t see this until I pulled it. I did notice that the coil screws weren’t too tight though when I was removing it.

    Went through this 026 for a friend. Been sitting in dirt. And had been dropped or hit.

    Gave me fits on the low end. Couldn’t tune the idle. 1/32nd turn one way or the other meant the difference between a spinning chain and a stalling saw.
    Nearly bought a new carb. Until I found I had a WT 403, the one with the fixed H. Cleaned and rebuilt the carb, and it is much better.

    Is there aftermarket mufflers that are not Chinese? I was looking for muffler and bracket for 272 and most appear to have China pricing and branding. $90 oem seems steep and salvaged doesn’t look any better than what I got.

    Husqvarna and stihl have factories in china all the oem carbs I've bought for customers from stihl the last several year's are chinese
    It's not worth fighting about.

    Not much on the bench yet. Time for a new ring gear and a clutch. I think I might rebuild the hydraulic touch control block while I’m at it. 1953 Farmall Super C. 86D41BE6-26AF-4E79-904E-03097126A8B3.jpeg 458168DC-D283-4AB5-9AE5-16F14690678C.jpeg

    I'm not fighting. I make the decision to buy elsewhere when I can, which is most of the time.

    $16 for can, bracket and gasket. Should this 272 have the metal plate between the guide bar and case?

    yes
    Funny the guide bumper and the cylinder bumper for the cap are still there. Those are usually the missing
    Chain catcher is awol. That’s par for the course
