I've got one of those on it now with a Uni stack. Found a factory filter and would like to try it with a factory cover for posterities sake, whatever that means.
Yeah, I went with the Uni stack because all of the crappy used filters were going for $50+ on ebay
Had a leak on mine, pulled the muffler and the oil line behind the muffler was torn. 10 mins job fixed her right up!
That's what I hoped my problem was. Mine somehow keeps oiling the bar when it isn't running. Siphoning or something.
I have heard that flushing the tank with kerosean or diesel could help with all types of oiling issues. Have never done it personally but I am sure some of these gents have.
Think I flushed it with mix or something. It was very clean, as was. Recently got ahold of a more complete muffler w/ screen. When I replace it, I may flush it with diesel or kerosene. How it can go up and over from the reservoir to the oiler is beyond me. Gremlins?
Mine has vented caps and a plug where a regular vent would go. I plan on using a sealed fuel cap and adding a generic vent. Ran pressure tests on the tank a while back…all good.
Got new venting caps on it. Assume they work. I'll test that tomorrow.
Echo vents work good for these.
Which caps did you get and do they have the the o rings/seals?
How does that setup work?
Your tank should have a little cap on top, just above the fuel cap. Remove the cap and the Echo vent assembly replaces it. You can also use a generic vent and a grommet.
I got gray Husqvarna caps at a local dealer. Last two they had and may no longer be available. I believe they have gaskets, not O rings.
Got these a few years ago, seldom seen anymore, but there out there,
I see them every now and then, as well as the pre-1980 61 and 44 oil caps...around $25 now
