Have rebuilt a Husqvarna 345, new seals, bearings etc
I now have quite considerable sideways crank play, I can move the crank sideways in the crankcase, my 350 doesn't do this.
I assume this is not right and how do I go about fixing it?, does this mean I have to replace the bearings or crank?. Can I use some sort of locking compound on the bearings (locktite) to keep them on the crank?.
I also am having trouble keeping it running.
It will fire up on choke and run at fast idle, blip the throttle to bring it down to normal idle and it dies, keep revving the saw and it will run but die after (say) 30 seconds no matter how much throttle input.
I have vacuum/pressure tested for leaks and none found, have pressure/vacuum tested the carb and that proved ok, have fitted new diaphragms/needle etc, have fitted another carb from a running 350 and no change, I have tried various fuel filters, spark plugs, checked fuel lines and have put ultragrey on the inlet manifold (making sure the impulse port wasn't blocked.
Cheers
