First time splitting a crankcase...

[jimdad07]

I did my first fuel line on my 029S a few months back. I never installed one before so I just dipped the bottom end of it in 2 cycle oil and still a PITA to get it seated. I had a pair of plyers pulling inside of tank and tried twisting it, on the topside, side to side and finally seated.

Major pain. Probably wouldn't be so bad if we did it every day like some of the saw mechanics on here. I ran it tonight, leaned out the high just a tad and it ran much better. I have the low set about 1 and 1/3 turn out right now and it is throttling up very smoothly and at the rate I am pulling the throttle trigger. It ran much, much longer tonight than it did the other night. The rebuild kit that I bought was the one off of Baileys. All it had was the diaphragm and all the seals, needle and spring. It did not have the jets or any of that.

Fuel line,#8 socket nut driver a pair of curved jaw hemostats and a little dish soap,..15 mins and line changed out.
Sounds like you made some headway, you will know for sure when you put it in some wood.

Thank you for the tip. Knowing those things is what seperates some from the rest us weekend warriors.

I think I've got it, won't know for sure until I put it through some good frozen red oak. I took the carb off the saw again, took the rebuild kit off of it that I put in it and started going to town with carb and choke cleaner. Pulled the high and low needles out and found that I had some gunk on the low needle, cleaned it right up. Blew compressed air into the fuel line nipple and the impule hose nipple. Put it all back together and she started up after about six pulls. I set both the high and low needles out 1 and 1/4 turns out and the darn saw idled, and idled and then idled some more. I started running the saw at WOT throttle and did not have to adjust the H screw at all. Let off of the throttle and it did not stall. Tried this until I ran it out of gas, I had about a half tank and didn't stall her once, even kept turning it off and restarting. I hope I got it.

Alright. Now go cut some wood.

 

[jimdad07]

That's the plan fidiro, have to get started on next winter's wood and I am starting to get a pile of stuff to mill. I went through all of this for the heated handles:beer:

Let us know....

don't horse around if it don't feel right.

If I remember its 19mm threads you can use the same Idea as in the picture though...or you can do the hardest thing in the world....wait for the right tools :hmm3grin2orange:

Or a thin bit of wood behind the flywheel and a hammer and brass drift . drive the wood between the crankcase and the flywheel and with the nut still on the thread give it a rap with the hammer and off she will pop. Usually anyway.

A great thread -- two years later. Found it looking for case-splitting advice and thought it deserved a bump.
(The uni-strut idea is a very cool.)

Gonna tackle my first case-split today and have a whole lot more confidence in doing it now.

Great stuff, guys!

So, Jimdad, how's that 044 runnin' for ya these days?

Glad you liked this thread, it was a great learning experience. I ported this saw also with a little help from Pioneerguy, it is one heck of a runner.
