What's on your bench?

The deal on the pressure washer is I live in the woods 600 feet off the road .100 foot oak trees that block off a lot of the sun .A couple thousand square feet of Berea white sandstone patios ,steps ,side walks .The damned moss grows on it in places .It really looks nice if it's water blasted about every two years but it takes about 2 days to do it .This is the year .Then I have to rake stone grit in the cracks because it all gets blasted out .So I'm nearly out of that stuff and need to order a small truck load which would be 8-10 tons . It's always something .
The washer has been dependable but the pulsajet carb about drives me bonkers .It will get to surging at times .governor going back and forth .I suspect some gunk got in the gas .Partial choke for a short time clears it up .I'm going to dump some Stabil in it and see what that does .

Can't spray with a bleach type solution to kill the moss but not rark up the paver surface and fill?

MS361. Cylinder scored at one side of exhaust port. Appears to be from a piece of unknown that got in the way of the piston. Does not look like lean run over overheat failure. This saw did fail 30 running hours ago from getting straight gassed. Might just be a failed after market cylinder.

More on the pressure washer .The replacement pump has 50 percent more volume going from 3 GPM to 4.7 GPM at 3,000 PSI .If I crank down the pressure regulator the spinner sounds like a jet turbine but it really lugs the engine . I was afraid of breaking a crankshaft so I backed it off . I'm thinking with that in mind it would be more suited for about 10-12 HP .At any rate it really gets with the program with the replacement pump .BTW a little shot of Stabil in the fuel must have cleaned up the fuel because it doesn't miss a beat now .Think about it .It's about like a weed wacker .Use it 4-5 months a year and the rest of the year it sits .In Florida things might be different but this is Ohio and it does get cold at times .

clutch drum is hidden inside? is it missing outside? Stihl 048AV

Angle grinder service

Stihl has manufactured magnesium parts for power tools.

On that 048 it appears to be missing the entire drum .What that spur came from I've never seen a spur like that on a saw like that .I have two of them BTW .

Pilarka has its age, so probably someone put on what he had at hand and what should be the spur here?

The drum is underneath the cover plate, they have a very strange and very tall drum setup. It looks like you're missing the "dust shield" the goes on the rim as well as the washer and e-clip, but aside from that everything looks fine to me.

Like @Woodslasher said ,I can see the oil pump gear under the spur and the drum should be under that.
The old 028s and 038s are similar, and some were two pieces with the spur as a replacement part separate from the drum.

Made a bottom clamp/roller attachment for my granberg mill to replace the factory one. Got the wheels from McMaster car and have a good temperature rating (last ones slowly deteriorated from the exhaust) and used stainless for everything else. Excited to try it out, it’s amazing how much smoother the saw mills with good wheels on it to glide along.

Cool idea! I like it.

Stihl 048 is shown well from the 14min movie

Of course had to finish up my aux oiler kit as well. Might make some tweaks and changes but it’s simple and functional now. Bolt that clanks the end of the bar down is used to hold the nozzle in place. Loosen and swing out of the way if not in use. Ended up using a gutted valve stem since it has a cap and a small orifice. The oil flow is about perfect I think.

Wow! Nice work! Hope it works well for you.

Crust Buster 9400E 2 stroke drill/auger powerhead was yesterday. Sat for many years and he wanted to get it running again. Didn't take much. New carb, fuel lines, filter, made a new air filter and replaced the plug. Runs pretty good. Engine is a 37cc Emak which is the same as Efco and Oleo Mac. Used a replacement carb from a comparable cc Oleo Mac brush cutter. Just waiting for a replacement fuel cap.

the lawn mower in front of the house, all parts were missing from the bottom of the carburetor. Only this eco engine 140cc works well, it is only for sparse grass ;-)

Just got a big old Art Deco looking craftsman drill press I’d like to restore. I just need to go and pick it up
