Doubt the oil pump has been out since first put in there. Failed pressure test, new seals time.

Latest one to join the fold- not exactly sure if 181 or 281- not an XP possibly, but there you go. Might have been made out of a box of parts at some stage, starter side of case has been busted off- bottom AV mount towards rear handle and welded back on- but was done nicely. Has vivid pen 281 on...

They seem to have that ability of being a hard kill. Many 028's survive some hard use and some even go as far as suffering abuse- but they keep going. :LOL:

I bought a complete running 81 or 88 Husqvarna from the Kapiti Coast last week for a hundy- they are still out there. ;) 066 are 54mm too but takes a lot more to make a same piston than just the outside diameter

Yeah, that 930 belongs to a guy that is not too chatty! Its something you buy to have an example of- not to run much here- when did you ever see another one? Parts are pretty specific and like Unicorn horns and rocking horse poop to find here. They do not have the weak rubber mount on the rear...

That's a nice selection of orange Swede's- covers a LOT of options. But, why does one man need 3 266's? I only have 2! :ROFLMAO:

I have half a dozen tanks and case sets/bottom ends for 064's- my problem is finding good top ends for them in our part of the World. Have one running a Meteor top end and its nice- just not as nice as the OEM ones. In my opinion- the old alloy air box flat filter is a bit of a let down-...

No pictures- no proof! We dont believe ya! :ROFLMAO: They are not the most fun saws to play with. The 064 is a really good plan though- very good saw those.

Another couple of recent bench visitors- same saw kind of. Grey/Black top Husqvarna 61 and Jonsered 625. For all intending purposes the same saws with some slight but serious differences between the two, meaning parts interchangeability is by no means 100%.

Any luck yet? Have the box containing all the service manuals open.....

So does anyone else run these old dears still? They are kind of bullet proof- just "interesting" in their design regarding the like of clutch removal. Not awe inspiring, but dependable- bit like a Blue Flame engine? The Super came in a bunch of saws I collectively gathered with the help of...

Recently picked up a couple of old 028's. One an old metal tank standard AVEQS and the other a SUPER variant with the plastic tank. Just good old solid smaller mid range semi pro saws that are good old firewood plodders. Have them to an acceptable stage now, running and a heck of a sight...

The bar you supposedly ordered- the Oregon 203RNDD025 Takes a chain of 72 drive links- the tooth count of the nose sprocket makes no real difference- it is a combination of nose radius, bar length and bar width and drive sprocket size that dictate the DL count. If the bar you ordered arrives...

This bar - is 72 DL count though, despite the 10- 11 nose sprocket difference https://www.oregonproducts.com/en/powercut%E2%84%A2-guide-bar,-20%22/p/203rndd025

well sorry- I looked and blew up the photo they use- it is of a K095 bar for 0.050 gauge chain and had a 68DL count. Obviously the seller just used a generic photo and changes the description to suit each sale.

STOP!!!! That it TOTALLY the incorrect bar for your saw- it is 0.050 gauge and is the mount for a small Husqvarna saw (K095) not a mid sized Stihl D025 if Oregon of 3003 mount if a Stihl bar.

Link the bar you have ordered- it should either display, or be easy to find out the DL count for it. But as a rule- 20 inch is the one of the very few common loop size for 3/8 chain in either Husqvarna and Stihl at 72DL with a 7 pin drive sprocket.

Yes you will get compression with an air leak- as long as the leak has not leaned it out enough to burn up the piston and destroy the rings- the vapor still compresses as it is above the transfers- just the fuel to air ratio is way off so it doesnt go bang. Stored for a couple of Winters, fuel...

Okay- all we need for a 2 stroke single cylinder engine to run is- correct air/fuel mix entering the combustion chamber, it being compressed and a spark to ignite it. Pretty simple mechanics- till it isnt. We also need timing of the spark occurring at the correct part of the compression stroke-...
