    Hyundai make chainsaws? I have seen generator's. But that's the first mention of a chainsaw I've heard.

    Quite a tidy saw really. That repairs been done nicely. You probably wouldn't really see it with clutch cover on?

    Yea missed out on what was probably the last of the cheap 288xp's over the last couple of years. Always looking though. Thought perhaps it was a 288xp piston in the 930 as both 54mm. Not interchangeable?

    Some Husqvarna's

    i have often asked myself that. But i fear it wont be the last haha. should have put my 630 in there with them. Should be able to add a 576xp and 480cd to that lineup but probably after i build the 064 and possibly an 044. The 576xp needs a piston. cylinder has a small gouge above the exhaust...

    Old points ignition troubleshooting..

    It was bad enough admitting I fully rebuilt it 😂. May we never speak of it again lol. Looking at the bits for the 064 they don't look their age design wise, not much different than a modern design. Got a fish bin with a semi complete 064 a second crankcase, a couple of tanks multiple covers and...

    It's alive!! Thankfully as I'd way rather be figuring out what I need to build at least 1 064 out of a box of bits I got recently. Now this 015 can go on the shelf of saws that I can say go rather than cast into the graveyard side of the shed. Took a video of it running but it was too large to...

    Old points ignition troubleshooting..

    Hey. Sorry got talked into going away while I still had some time off. I Got the ignition sorted, possibly a bit of moisture left over from the brake cleaner, I'm not too sure. Got points set and got it to fire and run off some mix down the carb, was struggling to pull fuel, so have had the carb...

    Can the point gap affect spark timing? I'll whip the flywheel back off and check anything timing related.. I'll keep you posted.

    Old points ignition troubleshooting..

    Just finished rebuilding an old Stihl 015 (don't ask me why. Bought a couple of parts to begin with and one thing led to another) I checked for spark before tearing it down. Did seals, crank bearings, piston and rings. Passed pressure and vac on engine+ carb and fuel hose. Comp test over...

    Stihl ms170 & 029 questions

    16"for the 170 although I'd stick with 14" max. I run a 12" on mine
