About to take bfh to husky 242

[Tor R]

I've experience weird things when the wiring from ignition to coil was bad.

1) wiring
2) intake
3) what Matt said.

 

[weedkilla]

Wiring looks ok, yoinking on on things doesn't create any weirdness.
I'm thinking it's the crank.

It can sit in the corner of the shed and think about what it's done for a few days.

Got any bearing blue I'd paint the inner face of the drum and the inner and outer thrust faces of the drum. that should show up anything rubbing or dragging of clutch shoes inside the drum when the brake is applied if that is where the problem stems from.
edit- I should add Id have the saw fully warmed up beforehand so you can start it at idle then apply the brake.

 

[Tor R]

I've only seen once intake cracked.
They are kinda famous for coil & wiring issues.

What serial do your 242 has? (Currious to know what style clutch drum it has)

 

[smokey7]

I think what you guys are thinking of what it would show with clutch removed is that the wires, boot, and stuff are good. I think its clutch related either wrong bearing, worn crank or drum sometging like that

That's not half smart.

"not half smart" .... not sure if that is an aussie expression or not...

the expression in usa is "not half bad" to indicate "pretty good" .....

or were you driving at implying a bad idea?

Not half smart = "that isnt half a smart idea" in a good way Matt if its used the same as in the uk .

 

[weedkilla]

It's a good idea mattyo

No wories its just a husqvarna ............................. problematics from the factory

 

[panteliss]

Ok, I'm stumped.

Husky 242g - so essentially rocking horse droppings in Aus.
Holds a tune, chain doesn't spin at idle. New clutch spring and clutch needle bearing.
Apply the chain brake and it stalls. I'm about stumped, I haven't ruled out a leaky crank seal, but it shows no other symptoms and Ye olde squirt with brake cleaner doesn't make it stall.
Any clues? Feel like I'm missing something obvious.

Leaks mean no holds tune specially in idling so if you say holds tune you havent leak ............. i think

what hapend when the saw work in full throtle and then go back to idling ?? any kind of mysterius

what hapent if you have the saw in full throtle and apply the chainbrake ?? it stalls ?? or something ??

try to pull the starter rope with the brake on and tell if any difernce than pull with the brake off

take of the sprocket cover start the saw leave it idling put a good gloves in you hand and touch the sprocket if you feel something not corectly stop the saw and see what it is

start the saw without sprocket cover and see how the clutch work if the shoes come back or if any of the shoes stuck

yep... now we are talkin.... I like the ...try to start it w/ the chainbrake engaged idea

That was so last Tuesday and still nowhere.

 

[weedkilla]

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help - but it's just going to sit for a while before I try anything else.
The sun has finally come out and I'm about a month behind with work.

 

[panteliss]

That was so last Tuesday and still nowhere.

its the kind of problems that today maybe appear but tomorow not

for example problems because of expands

 

[Stump Shot]

All I know is, now I won't be able to sleep for a whole month.

 

[weedkilla]

I should have stuck to playing chainsaws.

 

[jakethesnake]

Now you got that to fix
