Now that’s a lightened flywheel lucky it didn’t burst

 

[Stihl working Hard]

Hopefully parts show up today.

I have gotten absolutley hosed on shipping parts out. A box of Stihl 009 parts I shipped out apparently leaked a little bar oil and stained the corner of the box. It sat in the PO for a week waiting for a ‘HazMat certified contractor’ to return it to sender. I had to go pick it up. Repackaged and shipped again and now its nowhere to be found.

Wow that sucks man

Anyone got a 660 flywheel they want to part with?

HLS has a great deal on AM Metal ones, they have worked well on the Asian 660s and you can't complain about that price!

How can anyone do that in one year? Is it for commercial work? I can’t imagine running my mower that way!

I replace mower blades worse than that 3 times a year on my Kubota ZG20, sand eats them up when its dry

I ordered one yesterday. I just want to be done with this haunted pain-in-my-azz

Looking at it more closely, it appears the metal band the magnets are attached to is seperate from the plastic. The plastic is held in place by being molded into holes in the metal plate.

I learned some disturbing news last night.

The local BOCES offers an Arborist Training Program … it is ONLY offered in Spanish!

So my tax dollars are being used to train illegals to take jobs away from us!!!

SUCKS!!!

Careful, this post is offensive and political.

No not commercial. Small farm and he raises feeder calves and some market steers. He is just hard on stuff.

And accurate!!! It would not have offended me if it were bi lingual. But, Spanish only!!!

036 I picked up a while back that was straight gassed.



All back together.
Just need to mess with the master lever a bit. Doesnt come off high correctly.

70e. No spark. Hoping that a new nova chip will get her back up and running (after a LOT of cleaning too).

Got this from a friend, he says it keeps burning out spark plugs. Runs about 2 hours and then just quits. He says spark plugs just stop making spark. Slap a new plug in and it works fine for a couple tanks. Brand new plug in it and he didn’t have any “burnt out” plugs to give me to assist in diagnosis.

Coils probably taking a shít.

That was my assumption. Obviously i’m going to go through the entire saw, but either a worn plug wire or a slowly failing coil was my train of thought.

Replace the coil, I had one that would run fine then loose spark on restarts hot.

Very low hour 1999 Husqy 51, case was cracked under the chain tensioner where some idiot cranked down the bar nuts without aligning the adjuster stud in the bar. When i told the owner what it would cost to repair it (tearing down saw, new case halve, complete reassembly with new bearings/seals/gaskets, etc) he told me to keep it. Tore it down to try a JB weld fix just for poopies and hahas and found this:


Flywheel side bearing had an odd hot spot. I mean the the race is literally blued all the way through.



The hot spot in the bearing was pointing DOWN on the flywheel side. It might have made sense if the hot spot pointed towards the rear of the saw, would make me think the chain had been run over tightened. But, both bearings still feel really good.

I have not cleaned the bearings at all. This is exactly how they came out. The corresponding hot spot in the case:
