Looks like the one I did when I failed to run the tap in far enough.

Short Block is shown on pages 18/19. Note the part number!

I just put one on my 2012. Everything fits fine. I found that half the drilled holes come untapped. Apparently this is normal. Your old screws should be self tapping. If you haven't bought it yet be careful, some are selling the old short blocks. Part #580 66 37-12 is the one. I asked Spike60...

So I got the new coil and got it fired up. He was right, it wouldn't idle. Did the carb cleaner trick and found it sucking air at the intake block/cylinder junction. Cut a new gasket and it now idles but it has a few other issues to correct now. It's been a hard 30 years, broken fins, worn-out...

My problem is a 30 year old 272xp that came with a no idle complaint. First thing I found was a dead coil so, I haven't been able to confirm the idle problem.. A the moment, I am waiting for a replacement. Pulled the muffler and it's all bright & shiny inside.

Are you saying that a failing coil will affect idle? What are the symptoms? I think I may have one on my hands!

I would Kneedeep but obviously I am to stupid to to see how. Leeked around a bit but I see no way to PM.

That's pretty much how I understood it!

I've been told be 2 different dealers that they cannot update a carb without the saw. Now I'm starting to think I'm getting the run around. Or maybe they just don't know how.

So Creaky, what have you done to the inerds! Nice graphics! :)

Unfortunately, I am getting dust and even small chips in my air filter. They are most likely getting by the partition. And I can't seem to find out where they are getting through. Most of the chips seem to be showing up on the right side of the filter, pretty much in line with the chain. I...

I'll second this!

Slick, I like it!:) I was looking for max airflow. Didn't want to choke it off, maybe over did it.

Opened up the top cover today and mocked up the Frogskin with nylon cloth.

You got it for the win! :campeon:

I need to apologize for my lack of clarity in my original post. As I was trying to get he message out I made several edits which may have confused the issue. Two changes from stock made the most difference. First, the insulation on the under cover partition made a real difference. You can feel...

That's right! It's why I pulled the Air Nozzle. Much cooler without it. To control dust to the air filter, I made a loose fitting bag out of breathable nylon cloth and tucked it around the filter. Filter stays clean and if I pull the bag off and give it a shake it's ready to go again. I think...

I think I'm getting ahead of myself and over-reacting. I'll find out soon enough.

I am less concerned with fines getting by the filter than plugging the filter. The way I see it is , there will be sawdust and I have to find a balance in filtration without choking off the intake. I want to stop as much as possible from getting to the filter without making it worse. No point in...

I guess that fuel line issue was why they changed to the shorter hose. Mine is still original, so I'll keep it in mind. Hopefully, it will be okay with better cooling. One problem I am having is is fine saw dust in the filter, as expected. At the moment I'm trying a fine mesh pre-filter. We are...
