What's on your bench?

[Wilhelm]

Ok, I am stumped! Can’t get this TS 800 to run. I have spark, I have fuel and I have 168# compression. No air leaks, new fuel lines, new impulse lines, new gaskets, new seals, re did ALL the wiring, swapped coils. Crankcase/cylinder holds pressure and vacuum.

Poured some fuel down the throat: nothing.
Poured fuel in the airbox and sealed it: nothing.
Spun with impact gun: nothing.

Suggestions?

It's a Stihl , it's supposed to hold a door open or a boat at its place , not run . . .

On a serious note, what ever it is that keeps it from turning over is most likely something simple that You haven't thought of checking yet.

Maybe You put the cylinder on reversed . . .

I tried pulling it, 2 neighbors pulled it, every combination imaginable of throttle and choke

There You have it, You are all pulling and choking it too hard . . .

. . . try pushing!

That saw came so close to getting thrown down the driveway at around midnight. The guy wanted this saw for this morning and I finally quit around 0100. I hate missing a hard deadline/timeline.

We even tried talking dirty, most of them really like that; still didn’t help

You did what you could, give it a day. Helps me to have a break and think it over.

I absolutely despise missing a deadline. I think that’s what bothers me the most.

I am in the midst of tearing the entire thing down and rebuilding it from the ground up just to ensure everything is 100% correct.

Is the clutch stuck? Have you tried starting it with the any of the pto side apart? My fs250 wouldn’t start when a clutch spring broke

Had to rebuild the entire clutch side. The starter pawl which is supposed to be threaded was wallered out and spinning (aluminum of course). who ever worked on it before simply tightened down the nut on the crank and stripped it. Had to go buy a 10mmx1.0 tap and die and new nut for the crank. Cut the spacer washer and the back of the new nut to act like a lock washer against the aluminum pawl. Now its firmly seated, clutch spins freely and no issues.

Flucking piece of shiit STILL won’t start. I’m completely and totally stumped.

Any chance it has the wrong flywheel on it and is sparking out of time?

 

[Bigmac]

Is your plug wet? What dose it look like? Will it spark wet?

Verified part numbers of flywheel and coil: they coincide and are required to work with each other. Timing was once again verified.

Plug is the 2nd brand new NGK and has a fine mist on it. Plug sparks even when moist outside of the cyl. Looking through the decomp bung I. An see the plug sparking when being pulled over. Muffler is off, verified not clogged.

So I am through 2 layers of blisters and down to raw flesh from yanking on this thing, even with gloves on. I refuse to let this pile of parts defeat me!

Have you checked the compression?

Does it have good fuel?

 

[Fruecrue]

That model is a push start.
Run up the driveway with the wheel on the ground and she’ll go.
Don’t give up now!



Oh, and video yourself.....

 

[RI Chevy]

Maybe a bad switch on the handle???? Maybe switch is preventing it from starting?

 

[Fruecrue]

Does the jug have a heli coil?

What color is the spark?

Compression is 168 pounds. Holds vacuum and pressure. Swapped out fuel for fresh 93 non-ethanol 40:1 two separate times.

I should have known!! I’ll upload cideo from the security cameras. Since my driveway isn’t very long I’ll do it in the street
