Handle repair day
Friend down the street wanted to use my TIG...that I have yet to master...
Sure! Once you get your stuff done, can you look at a couple busted wrap handles?
3 junk handles are now usable, wee! 2100, 266-272....
He does Magnesium as well...hmm...

He's a retired pro industrial welder, lol

Now, I just need to get him to teach me

Yes. Get him to teach you.
A retired welding inspector, from a large manufacturing company, taught me more in 5 minutes than high school did in 9 weeks. He would give me some pieces to weld together. He would break them apart and tell me how it failed, then tell me how to fix it. He told me not to worry about what the bead looks like on the surface, they make grinding wheels every day. Worry about penetration. 5 minutes.
Get him to teach you before he's gone. You'll be glad you did.

I've had this laying around for 3 or 4 year and decided I'm going to try and save it. I cut the band today so the hard part is done.

The little 4910 gets a 3/8 7 pin.

The guy from the local sawmill just dropped this off, one week old and won't start.

I cleaned up well enough to run, it's going on a clone saw so I'm sure it will do better than the aftermarket cylinder.

Husqvarna 254xp doesn't normally have a decomp does it? This is what he used to plug it. Any ideas of the year?

1995 is the year, week 14 and 286th saw made that week.

Some had the decomp, some didn't.

It's 4 years older than me so .
It has a big gash taken out of the back of the piston and a crack on the front of the top fin. I fitted the decomp out of my non running 385. I also cleaned out the carb and fitted a new fuel filter. The gaskets and diaphragms all seem fine. Hopefully it runs.

No joy so far. She's not getting spark. I tried two different could and two different plugs.

Have you tried disconnecting the switch and checking the spark?

If you just put an air chisel on the nut and a quick tap they usually spin right off without even having to hold it
