OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums General Discussion Forum Off Topics just got my chainsaw back

ya gotta love it.

soaking the chain and a good clean for a start i recon
i havent put this one back together for a while.
any thoughts?

So Sean, what is the problem, start with all the big bits and then you should be able to work out where the left over small bits go, expect to put it together a few times before you get it all sorted

i recon so Norm. but i did find something interesting. the air gap between the points and the flywheel were about the width of a4. that just must be wrong. .20 maybe. came back with no throttle control cable. so i am just going to get it to start with fuel in the pot for a start then bodgy some sort of throttle cable.
what do you think?
thanks

Hi Sean, I would like to see some sort of throttle control before it goes into full revs,put some fuel in through the carb and see how it goes

mate i am not silly. i will get my son to start it

Where did it come back from? The mechanic's pet hate - a 'basket case' machine... There always seems to be some small bits missing, with those.

Chainsaws usually just use a bent wire link between the throttle trigger and the carby, rather than a cable.

And best to start it with the chain off

gadge i lent it to a mate who wanted to make a die (dice x 2) out of a large redgum log. well he made his dice and then sharpened the blade pulled it to bits and i got it back yesterday. do you want it?

So he just wanted to clean it?

Lent it to a "mate?" With mates like that who needs enemies.

Unfortunately this is a weekly occurrence for me.someone found it easy to partly dismantle but.......... Agggghhh ! same thing used to happen when I worked as mechanic in motorbike shop.

ho hum. blast and dagnabit. i just remembered i lent him a mcculloch not an ozito. where is my mcculloch is the question

But that is an Oregon bar and a big one at that, looks about 24 inch

jack knock this thread on the head mate, i just spoke to the fella i lent it to about the mcculock. he gave it away for me. nice. anybody want to swap a lawnmower for a chainsaw?
sean

Hi Sean

Do you have a moral to this story?
Would you like this topic closed?

Cheers

yes i do have a moral to the story
confucius.
By three methods we learn wisdom: first, by reflection, which is nobelest;
second by imitation, which is easyest;and third, by experience, it is the bitterest.
please kill this thread before i start quoting mervin.
my theropist can do nothing with me

At least you got something back.I loaned my mate my tension wrench. Told him make sure you wind the handle to to zero when your done. Look after it. Never saw it again. Now I need to go buy another one.

the bloke i lent it to just told me the best way to take a stubborn bolt /nut off is to use a torque wrench backwards and hit it with a hammer. my brain nearly exploded. i was taught never to use a torque wrench backwards. he wanted to fix this for me and i said no noo nnoo

I think we have the same mate!
My old tension wrench was the ratchet type so could be used backwards.
I'd suggest you go shopping for new mates.......If only there was somewhere nearby......somewhere where blokes have similar interests....

when anger rises, think of the consequences.
i am learning but i dont recon i will make money
