Nice saw, I'm working on a 357xp now that is just as filthy as that one was, real nice working on saws that haven't been cleaned in there life

While I wait for the parts for my MS441 I may start on this 031av I just received from another member here. Missing a few parts but she's got 155 psi compression and a cool muffler mod!

Thanks, yeah it's shocking how some poeple treat their equipment...
My 346 XP looked even worse when I got it. Tons of resin in it, air leak, scored piston and cylinder.
I changed the intake boot, rebuilt the carb, put a new Meteor piston in it, did a gasket delete and a muffler mod.
Wow - what a great saw!
I think I will repaint this one too

Husqvarna K760 with a broken crankcase, 2015 S/N and top end is perfect. Repair estimate is a little bit on the pricy side.

the concrete helps for bigger boats?

Yes, yes it does. These things are boat anchors, hate stone saws.

Customer called back and approved the estimate, should have quoted it higher.

on to the next project - a little off topic.
I'm curious to know what caused this...

They get very dirty, had to work on my brother's earlier this year. Saw would just not run right. Can't say I ever did find out exactly what was wrong with it, but changed a bunch of stuff and then it did run right, so I'll take it! I suspect the impulse line may not have been sealed right? No leak in it though.

A estimate is not a quote ..or will you be expected to keep to your "Estimate" Joe ?

When we call with an "Estimate" that is pretty much it. That is why I have to tear everything so far down and look for any little flaw, I am expected to keep within the estimate. If it goes over it comes out of my labor.

Not for nothing, but that is how it should be, you are a good Man Sir!

I do it a little different ....If i estimate a job then its done at hourly rate with the understanding that i have given it my best guess .If its shorter Hrs...they pay less. If I quote ...then I price "Hard" and if i get it done faster its extra profit .

I have done a job for $5.00 labor in the past because the parts lookup had the wrong pricing. Ordered a piston that was supposed to be $40.00 and it was $126.00 That one really hurt.

I liked that...but not because I like it, its because ive done the same thing before. sucks.

 

[Onan18]

Got this old 272 cleaned up a little more, bearing is a SKF made in Italy. Cases are pretty beat, think I may look for a better set.

A old HS60 that won't stay running. Kinda awkward to hold

I need to pull the tank. The fuel line and grommet is pulled out. Looks like I might have to take the handle off
