Should have been cleaned up straight away but hopefully there was not much water got inside it. Take the plug out and put some WD40 down thje plug hole give it a good shake upside down and pullit over a number of times. As said dump the petrol and put new stuff in. You will have to test you...

The old fairbanks Morse looks interesting, and yes keep us posted. I too like restoring old things that's why I have last count 38 ghainsaws I have restored. One of my first jobs when I left school was working in a circular saw mill and went from breaking down the logs to benching and finished...

I have six of the old girls sitting in my shed all run eccept one that is a parts saw. And yes everyone you are right wear hearing protection and you will be in for a treat.

This is what stihl recommend so think I would stick to that. AI Overview Stihl's recommended spark plug gap is 0.020 inches (0.5 mm) for most of their trimmers, blowers, and chainsaws, including the FS 91. A proper gap is crucial for combustion and preventing misfires. While 0.020" is the...

Just a thought you can get a little light that plugs into your ignition. You pull the plug boot off and one end plugs in there and the other goes onto the plug. It could be that while it is running it will be okay but when it get hot your coil could be breaking down. And if so this little gadget...

I have had one for around 30yrs and never given me a days problem. Good and easy to read and put it up against my micrometer and reads the same but still keep my old mititoyo to go back up incase of a flat battery.

Not sure with the Walbro HDC-32 but people get caught with the diaphragm having a slot that the metering lever fits into and if you have sat it on top of the metering lever it will be away to rich. Other than ripping the top of a HDC-32 to look Hacskroly may be able to fill you in on that. Will...

Sounds a bit of a strange one. You would almost think it's sucking air in when it heats up and were it would be hard to say as you have done most of the tests. Also sounds like you have swapped coils so would think that should cover the spark side. The only thing that may be worth a try is pull...

Probably be quite hard drilling may need a round file or a dremal with a small stone grinder.

Just a normal business card is what I use to set the coil gapas feeler gauge stick to the magnets. 10 to 12 thou is about normal so should not be to far out at 15. Type the model into the internet and see what they say. Just looked on thr internet and flywheel gap is quite a range which is 0.008...

Yes most certainly do.

I use Bosch as a guy I know travelled selling them and when finnished up with them he still had a heap of stock left so brought a heap of him. But as far as champion go they have the 5 letter word on them (china) and once they started being built there have progressively got worse. I have never...

As I said in one of my threads Bob get it right at the bottom of the stroke sometimes helps too. I have a really nice Jonsered 930 Super like new I picked up at a farm clearance sale that has hardly had any work and it is a compression thing with her and I find just rocking it over a few times...

I would go bigger the thing is you a better with more power than not enough. If you are going to be driving a mower and a few other implements 25ho would probably struggle a bit.

Hi Bob, I have a Husqvarna 36 one of the older model ones and same problem will rip the handle straight through your fingers and is not good on a cold morning. Pretty sure the mod Husqie I have was made by Poulan for Husqvarna. It is a timming issue with them and they seem to have the set a bit...
