Not during Sturgis!

Thanks! My whole life I have been prone to fixing things till they break. I will leave them and pay close attention to my tune, which is perfect for now.

I purchased a minty 1997 husky 257, replaced spark plug and fuel line and filter, it is working fine but I am worried about the crank seals. Should they be replaced or leave well enough alone! I do not have the tools to vac/pressure test.

OMG!

What is the Denso number?

What a shop! OMG!

Husqvarna 181 on sale in Madison Wisconsin for $375 sounds like a nice saw

Yep, that is what I read between the lines! And the Schaefer’s 9000 says it meets or exceeds FD rating but I am not sure it was actually sent in for testing.

Nice!

It was .018 and I made sure to index the spark plug so the electrode was out of the way just in case

My 257, a guy on Craigslist had it for sale at $250 during a blizzard, I drove to his place and offered $200 and he took it. It came with a nice husqvarna case, 4 chains - two newly sharpened, bar oil, 2 sets of husqvarna safety glasses and a nice Sandvik bar. It had not been run in years...

Here is my 261 box of parts saw, came in a milk crate for free. Can you see why? I tore it all down, new handle/tank, bearings, seals, carb rebuilt, Farmetec/Hutzl 262 P&C with caber ring and Wiseco circlips. Was able to do a base gasket delete and muffler mod, it was 195 PSI without even being...

In for $50

Yep, but let me tell you when you do not ever work on a Briggs ohv engine and these symptoms show up it is tough to diagnose! I have a new carb and magneto that probably were not needed, but I learned alot anyway. There have to be hundreds and hundreds of generators, lawn tractors and the like...

Yep, that is the exact problem. A steel guide inside an aluminum head. Now on these the guides stick out of the aluminum, both sides, by say 3/16 of an inch. One guy on you tube dimpled around the outside of the guide around the aluminum, nothing to fold over, I think I will try that.

the exhaust guide was backing out so now I have to fix it, thanks for the hint!
