I apologize, this got in the wrong spot. Could the mods remove this topic?

I found that my old Poulan saw had a plugged oiler line. Someone must have used crankcase oil and left it sit for 30 yrs. I dug some real nasty stuff out of the fittings and compressed air wouldn’t clear the line so I took the bar greaser and shot it full of grease. Even then, I had to press...

Chatted with a friend who mentioned he was at an auction. Asked him to look for saws for me. He called back on two of them and I told him to go for it. Well, he got them both, and I’m a happy dog! I never thought I’d see a 242XP at a farm auction, but.......you never know! Sent from my...

My 346XP only had 3 tanks through it on a new OE cylinder and piston. Was running great, and set rich, when it suddenly went way lean. I just shut it down and went home thinking it must be an air leak. So I tested for pressure and vacuum of which it passed, and then checked the small screen in...

I started this project a couple of months ago with a friend's old CT. A couple of shops turned him down on fixing it, so I gave it a whirl. It had a major air leak, but had no damage to the piston or cylinder yet. First problem was to get the clutch off. After much research, and a picture of a...

My trimmer wasn't running right so I put a new carb on it. Started and runs good for a couple of minutes. It builds enough pressure in the gas tank to make the engine run rich. The gas even comes out of the grommets in the tank. I changed caps but to no avail. I'm wondering what is causing...

Sometimes you gotta wonder what they were thinking. The CS-400 muffler has a smaller inlet and outlet than their CS-352! Otherwise, they are identical. Inlet from 400 The smaller 352 doesn't have that oval shaped restrictor in front of the cat. Outlet from 352 Outlet from 400 Anyway...
