What's on your bench?

Them are a PITA to tinker the bottom end. Keep the rod w/rollers at BDC with a clamp of some sort on the flywheel so the rod won't shift sideways.
Ive got the tool for the bearings , best 13$ ive ever spent

Load the bearing rollers with a strip of sheet metal (copper works great) bent to shape.

Keep them in place with a wide rubber band to slide the rod over them.

Avoid the urge the raise the piston when sliding on the cylinder.

Good idea. The way shown the crank has to be removed

Echo 230 would snap the .95 line
A little honing with the bastich
And i Used it for over an hour
Without the line breaking
It has .105 now plenty of power pulls it great.

Replaced a coil under warranty on an MS250. No spark....runs good now. Also sharpened the chain.
Waiting on a new coil under warranty for an MS261 non-mtronic.
Now working on an MS250C....fuel system on this one.

I've gotten more stihl chainsaws and brushcutter/trimmers in than i ever have.
Local dealer is too pushy about getting people to buy new instead of fixing old equipment they tell me.
This one needs carb and lines at least.

Just cleaned up this mess...!
It's an 11hp Kawasaki engine from a club car turf(tilt tray buggy)
It was in for a massive oil leak!




You wouldn't think that the oil leak could penetrate through so much mess.
It turned out,that the crankcase gasket had blown,directly above the camshaft(common problem).
This is the 2nd Kawasaki single cylinder air cooled engine I've done in the last couple of months, both with the exact same leak.
1 was a 9hp, this machine being the 11hp.
It's now clean,leak free & back in service, with 1 very happy elderly customer

Job well done , wonder it didnt get hot with all that dirt

 

[tp2177]

Hmm I have a club car with the 9 hp motor. Where does this leak start? My engine has an unknown amount of hours on it I'll keep an eye and maybe change it in the next year before it starts leaking

Piston touching the crank lobes?

Piston touching the crank lobes?

Sure is !!
Not anymore though.

Funny that nobody has noticed the blue piston
