You are boiling the fuel in either the carb bowl or fuel line and it bubbles back into the tank on a gravity system. It is way too hot.

E÷R=A. 13.5V ÷ 7.25R = 1.86A E × A= W. 13.5V x 1.86A= 25.11Watts Drawing too many amps? I am confused.

I use a bearing separator and apply pressure to the end of the crank with it and then use an air hammer on the center bolt of the separator. Sometimes bends the pulley but always gets it off. Never had to use the oxy/acetylene wrench. When in doubt. Bigger hammer.

Gotta love an oil thread!🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🤔 Scrub's oil is better than my oil 😱

Never had any luck using a 3 jaw puller on sheet metal pulleys without bending them. I have used a bearing separator with an air hammer to get pulleys like that off.

Had a customer once use some "miracle" high mileage oil treatment that ate up the paper crankcase gasket.

Customer bought a new OEM kohler carb for close to $300 that didn't fix the problem. Brought it to me and found it had a one dead coil and the other one was intermittent.

I'll play. Stripped flywheel ring gear Engine seized Starter mounted wrong Hydrolocked Nuts from squirrels blocking flywheel from turning (I had that one) You say "not electrical" so assume starter is getting power. You say "engine won't turn over" so assume engine is not rotating when power...

I have a 361 clone and a 660 clone both running 195psi compression. If you don't use the compression release it breaks the starter pawls. Over 10:1 compression ratio. Dozens of tanks of regular gas through both. I have always wondered what the failure mode of 2 strokes is when a fuel with too...

Wrong. Millions of 2 strokes run just fine on regular 87 octane gas.

Eliminates coil and valves. Sounds like an air leak

Does it miss at idle? WOT? loaded? Unloaded? Sprayed brake kleen around the intake manifold? Will coil jump a 1/4" gap in air? I would hookup an online neon spark tester and remove the air cleaner and muffler. Start the engine and let it idle. If it is a spark problem it should be observable at...

Works for me.

If the valve guides are worn that can cause a random miss.

Yeah it is one of those. Looks like they just took a non purge carb and fabricobbled a primer bulb to it. I didn't buy it as it is a dumpster reacue. Great little saw. I am the guy with 5 saws and doesn't burn wood. Wife likes to razz me about too many saws so I switched to having too many...

I have a 251c and it has the most ridiculous primer. It has a regular saw carb not designed for a purge bulb. The bulb pushes fuel into the carb fuel inlet and has a goofy bypass hose too. Only ever seen it on the 251c. The regular 251 doesn't have it.

The 251c has a different primer system than other saws. The bulb is not a purge bulb. It pushes fuel into the fuel inlet of the carb. If you pump it too much you can pop off the metering needle and flood the engine. Only pump the bulb a couple times and then only pull the rope twice with the...

Stator wires connect to 1 and 3 and battery connects to 2 and case of regulator must be grounded.

Customer said it won't start. Both coils are dead. I wonder why

Check the welds on the spindle tube to the plate. It is a common failure point. If it is cracked you can reweld but if it breaks out and you need a new one good luck. Last one I ordered took over a month to come in. Getting the spindle assy out is fun too. That bar the blade mounts to bends...

The real fun is when you need to replace the seals on the wheel and tine shafts of a troy bilt tiller and the wheels and tines haven't been off for 20 years. Spent an entire day on one just getting the wheels and tines off without destroying anything.

If it is one of those MTD ones with no key and flat on the axle and a bolt in the center I use a bolt with a dimple drilled into it for the air chisel and I wedge a 2x4 behind the wheel and then use a real good air chisel with 175psi of air. They come off.

Not OEM https://www.ebay.com/itm/323466471265?_ul=KZ

No, get a pointed chisel and use it on the axle.

Hitting from the back will probably trash the rim before it comes off. An air chisel usually works for me. A torch usually works too but you need to repaint the rim.

I like the DTI 20K. And then if you slap a B&S number on it.

If you have a 5 terminal ignition switch you can use this harness to replace the connector. Doesn't matter how the switch is wired. https://www.ebay.com/itm/331723065222

As Greta would say "HOW DARE YOU!"

Seen vids of that wrong side of the world stuff throwing sparks like ironwood when cutting. You can keep your Jack Jumper and Bulldog ants and your Buloke trees.

My 660 clone normally wears a Tsumura lightweight 25" bar which is manageable. I guess I thought I was Macho Man Randy Savage and bought a standard 36" bar for it. The saw will pull a 36" bar in oak and ash with full comp chain but it flat wears me out. Of course it goes through a tank if fuel...

PT "The rest has been trying to figure out why using the DL, gauge and pitch isn't the only info needed when ordering a new bar." The saw determines what "mount" the bar needs to be. Here are 2 bars that are same gauge but fit in different saws. One fits Stihl and the other Poulan. Both saws...

Good info from star. Don't know if you use a chainsaw but if you do here is a link to a series of vids about proper and safe use of chainsaws. May help keep you off the Darwin awards. I work with lots of farmers clearing dead trees out of fence rows and creek banks. Most of them scare the sh!t...

I find most saws that cut crooked either have a chain poorly hand filed or the bar groove it worn out. Just about every saw that comes in the shop needs the bar dressed and the groove cleaned because the oil hole it blocked and the bar edges are blue.

I am about to the point where I just tell customers I don't work on electric stuff. They are dead simple to work on and diagnose but parts are a nightmare. Even when I find parts lists the parts are not available or they cost more than the tool cost new. On the bright side. The battery will die...

I have 1/8" wheels. Some of the new electric saws have teeth so small the 1/8" won't fit between the tooth and raker. Smaller than the stihl micro chisel. Most of the cutting I do is cutting down and bucking big dead ash, hackberry and oaks for farmers around me. My brother in law heats with...

Good info from star. Probably 90% of what you will see from non pro users be semi chisel safety chain. I personally dislike most safety, anti kickback, green, bumper or whatever else folks call it. On my saws I run full chisel non safety chains. Trying to adjust the depth gauges on some safety...

Different saws have different bar mounts. Brand A saw may use a 3/8 .050 72DL chain and brand B saw may take the same chain but the bar mount is different. Brand of saw determines the bar. Clutch rim or spur sprocket determines pitch. Bar determines gauge and number of drive links.

Tsumura bars are very good bars. If the bar groove is worn you can use a rail closer to fix it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/294431789210

I bought a few. Got 1 in my chainsaw box, 1 on the workbench and a couple at the chain grinders.

Get you a couple of these. If you are going to work on saws you need this tool. You can tell bar gauge and chain pitch and guage easily. https://www.amazon.com/Oregon-556418-Misc-Parts-Red/dp/B00TM90U78

In a pinch I have used a couple pieces of zip tie in each stripped hole and then thread the studs in. Worked great till i could get customer a new manifold.

First double check you don't have a dead cylinder. Pull off one plug wire and start engine then do the other cylinder and see if engine runs the same on each cylinder. What you describe is low power from a dead cylinder. If the clutch is slipping it will burn up fairly quickly. Take the deck...

Tried to contact my toolaholic anonymous sponsor but didn't answer so I fell off the wagon again. Already have a 5 gallon one but that one is kinda awkward to use.

I only use Indian head gasket shellac on equipment of people I don't like. Put it on both sides of a paper gasket and enjoy. Right up there with Permatex #2.

I have had one troy bilt and one cub cadet (same mower different color) with the 3 pole switch that needed to have a small screw added to the plunger. I service another cub cadet that looks identical that uses the 2 pole switch. Look under troy bilt RZT50 and see if a diagram shows the 3 pole...

I believe that mower uses the 725-04232 switch for the brake. The switch snaps into a cutout and is non adjustable and the switch is fairly expensive. They are prone to not having the plunger pushed in far enough when the brake is applied. Wiggle the brake lever and see if it starts. If it does...

What does the spindle shaft mike to?
