New builder Husqvarna 42 Black top..

[82f100swb]

All the IPL's I have show it as an assembly with the piston. Not sure they would have offered it seperately.

Damn. Well I don’t think it’s the pin causing me issues. It looks like the rollers on the bearing are worn on the sides. So the upper bearing has the same sort of properties as the big end crank bearing, no play up and down but play side to side. So weirdly it’s kinda kicking the piston round the bearing a tad when you rotate at tdc and bdc. I think a new bearing will sort it.

Good thread Adam I’ve enjoyed the readin

I hope your well.. have you heard from Matt or know why he not been around.

I put it down to one of life’s mysteries when chatting to peeps on Internet forums.

Ta. This saw is quite a nice saw to work on. They are tiny really and quite well made. Still haven’t had it properly running, ain’t had the time. I have not heard from Matt in well over two years now. It’s strange as in our convos he was thinking of having a Small GTG with is lot if I remember correctly.

Ahh well.

This is very true of our internet age a proper mystery of sorts

Yeh a few trees here and there,, I wish I did it 20yrs ago, I need to go to the gym and build up my stamina . I was out early this morning, I had to mill a yew tree in Croydon, I just got back and need to get I. The bath.. so here’s a pic or two I don’t know why to pics are completely diff colours when I took the 30sec apart



It’s customer spec's 2x 3inch and what ever the rest 2inch
I got a time lapse vid to post somewhere
Oh and I got a 044 on the way.. so I will do and unboxing and a test, I’ve no idea if it’s a 10mm or 12.. I’ll tag you so you can find them.

Cheers

Well I am glad you are up them trees. What are you milling with? Yew is a nice wood ain’t it. Lovely colouring!! 044 Huztl or a clapped out project?

 

[Adamski]

Modified 372xp outer dog. Until I have a better alternative this will do. Not quite the 2 series style but I think it will work ok.

Hi Adam,
Milling with Stihl 660 it’s got a hyway big bore.. 25” & 36” bars and China mill

And have a look at my new thread

Those Hyway big bores rip. I had one on my Huztl 660. It squashed my uncles genuine owned from new stock 660.. I sold that Huztl with a few Stihl parts swapped in for a profit and no conning from my side, everything stated. I was tempted to do more of them.

You can get them to run, too. This is a tired one I repaired and ported for a bud back when I was living in England.:

How mild a mild port job? [emoji106][emoji106]

How mild a mild port job? [emoji106][emoji106]

She was a bit ill when she came in to me as u can see in the frst part of the vid. So half of that is just fixing things. Yeah, its super gunky cherry she's in tho.
I don't advance the timing or open the ports to max on a mild job. I mostly clean it up and change the port timing or shape a bit if I think it could use it and reset the squish(remove the gasket). Oh, and there's another hole in that exhaust now. The special, at least this one, was an open port affair. So I doubt I could have gotten much more top end without a lot of work. It was done as a favour for a mate more than anything else because I felt so sad seeing that saw struggle while we were in work. That was nearly 9 years ago.

We have life in the 42. All back together. Sounds ace for 42cc. It idles revs and come back down nicely. Carb kit did the trick. I think there is a flat spot on a bearing somewhere probably from years of sitting doing nothing. Hadn’t managed to figure out which bearing. Ruled out the small end as it’s new. Can you even get the pto crank bearing? Are there even cranks around if it turns out to be the big end? It’s not too bad atm I can just hear the slightest on rotation of the crank. Can’t feel a thing though.

I’ll post coke pics when it’s dry outside.

From memory as its been a yr or two....No in general ..... to most of what you asked , unless its on a shelf somewhere as old stock.
This group of saws is "Mostly" going to come down to using scrounged spares and spares from other saws.

I do believe that I have read of a Stihl bearing that may be useable for the PTO. Flywheel side is available, as are both seals.

 

[RIDE-RED 350r]

I would double check with @Tor R but I believe it was the Stihl 020 AV PTO bearing that will work?

As in a ms200 series? They are roller bearings if I remember not the usual ball bearings? What do you do about the integral seal that you get on the 42? Something is still knocking on the 42, it runs amazing with a 13" bar the ok though. I think it may be piston slap at BDC and tbc. I need to look into it more. Apart from that it runs ace. I cut a 1 tonne builders bag quantity of apple yesterday around 4" max and it was as fast as anything in that sized wood.

Cleaned it and put a new spring on the chain brake. It's definitely not the pto or flywheel bearings. No play on those. I think it's definitely piston slap.

I have been tempted to get a 13 to try, Dad told me he had tried them but found the 15 worked better for him.
I just got the heated handles working on his 242 last night, now I need to figure out why it won't rev past 12.4K.

As for your knock, how did your piston skirts look? I have ran into a few worn intake side skirts that were still nice and smooth, but significantly thinner than the exhaust side. One 026 was so worn the piston was rocking enough at TDC to hit the squish band...
