Nope, my 1050's with no spark arrester are louder. Although this one only ran for a few seconds. Now I have to go through the fuel system.

Maybe I had my hearing aids turned down?

You didn't mention if you set the points wide so they would not close. I would think closing points would interfere with the chip, maybe not. Anyone know for sure?
For jobs like flywheel puller bolts, I try to find socket head screws to fit. They are MUCH stronger than ordinary grade 5 and take the strains of pullers better in my book.

I was going to open them up, but when I saw I had to reroute the wires I forgot to. When I saw spark I had to see if it would start. I have to go back in and clean stuff up. I’m going to see if I can take the points out and cut off the square plastic lug that holds the points bolt in place. It’s just a convent place for the wires. It did start on a prime, but if the points do fire it might not run well.

OK, a little disappointed. The C51 fired last week. Started playing with it and was expecting to get it running. Put a prime down the carb and nothing. Decided to go back under the flywheel and finish cleaning up the chip install. I took the points out and took them apart. The stud that the wires mount to slides right off the pivot. Took the points off the plastic block that locks into the points box. But the bolt back through the plastic block, put it back in the points box, and installed the 3 wires. Makes a really tidy , and easy install. No splicing.    I put the point box cover back on just in case some one ever wants to put points back in it, all the parts are there. Pulled the plug, had real good spark. Still nothing. Pulled the muffler and the piston and cylinder look good. Still nothing. With the plug in, watching the piston go up and down, gas was washing past the rings. Just bubbling out of the cylinder. Comp gauge read 90 PSI. Put a little mixing oil in the cylinder and the comp jumped to 100 on one pull, and to 120 on the second pull. The rings push in a little with a screw driver blade, so I don't think they are frozen. Maybe I'll put some Acetone/ATF mix in the cylinder and let them sit for a week. That freed up the C72 so it started. |

Tapped the flywheel with a rubber mallet and it just fell off. The points looked like they were welded together. As soon as I find one of my point files I'll touch them up and see if I have spark. The saw is really cruddy inside so I'll probably wait till tomorrow to take it outside and clean it. We have family over and they always think I'm going to blow the house up spraying brake cleaner down stairs. Please go try super clean.. you will never use a can of brake clean again.. on decaled and finely painted surfaces I would be careful with any method of cleaning.. super clean is awesome stuff .. spray let soak and rinse with water.. again watch how long you soak on painted parts... when I disassemble saws I clean all parts this way.. blow dry with compressed air and spray with some.wd 40 while whipping parts down... I have cleaned hundreds this way.. comes out awesome... I actually use a product called "Awesome". It will dissolve carbon build up on cylinders and pistons. I started using it because it didn't have a chemical odor. Cylinders and pistons I soak over night. Painted and plastics I soak for two hours with no problems. The tough stuff that doesn't rinse away I scrub with a tooth brush then rinse with hot water. |
