Is it the remains of a fuel line?

I got 20 bucks says that's exactly what it is...

Picked up a Homelite 770D a couple of nights ago and going though it and cleaning it up. The fuel tank has some kind of nasty goo in the bottom of it.:msp_scared: Any ideas on how to clean it out?

Lacquer thinner. The really nasty fast evap. stuff they sell at Ace hardware to clean paint brushes.

I use it to clean carbs..

Be advised, it will remove even the oldest enamel paint on the outside of that Homie.


Sold my 306A today. Guy left me three small Poulans to make one (38cc model 220) a runner for him. I keep the 42cc Wild Thing and the 36cc Woodshark. All have great compression. Makes up for sellin' my Frankensaw the other day. Need a backup/rescue saw.

Took out 10 trees around my sons house today. Largest was 18" or so,put a rope on 2or3 just for insurance.Close to house garage chicken coop.Everything went as planed except one limb stripped one side of a cedar they had planted by there house.We had a good time though,I got to run his huskey 350 a little,not a bad saw,and he got to run my 372xp for the first time,just a good day a little hot.

 

[thinkrtinker]

Yeah... I'm trying to thin the herd a little, but it ain't working very well...

Your shop is plenty big enough for another fifty or so:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

Is it the remains of a fuel line?

Not that it is any good but the fuel line is still there. Managed to pull it out of the muck. It will be replaced for sure but will be a pain. Fuel tank has a metal fitting that the hose fits onto both inside and outside of it. Will have to be done through the filler hole. Unless that fitting will unscrew from the tank, didn't notice yet if it does. That would make more sense.

Same Old **** At Local Pawn Shop

 

[bigtuna]

Nicely done freehand. same old crap saws at joplin and springfield cl. alloverpricrd and wore out

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Remember, Kenneth, we can eventually accumulate a chain saw to match every size of log and wood species that we need to cut. :msp_biggrin:

I'm sure Hedge would agree. :msp_rolleyes:

I am same as at that point with saws. I need to sell some. It sucks flipping a quarter best 2 out of 3 to see which saw to take.:msp_w00t::msp_w00t: The only one now that is always on the list is the 350 husky that I put together last year.

Man, that's no joke either. I've seen them wanting $100 for something that doesn't run or froze up from being straight gassed. They must be joking or breathing in something that distorts the thinking process.

Steve did you get the flywheel off that 17 homelite yet?

 

[Hedgerow]

Just got done fixing 2 saws for a fella... I feel guilty charging anything for working on a Stihl 170 and a Poulan 2055 I think it was???
The Poulan was the better of the 2 saws...
Something had gotten into the carb o the Stihl and the high circuit was stupid lean and the carb was completely non adjustable... Threw it in the junk bin and got a WT215 from the dealer and it ran... But still a dud... I hope it don't come back...
I wanted to throw it under a bus...
I hate fixing saws.

Early this year, I restored a Husky 353 that my friend owns. It rocks!

The Husky is about the same size as my Stihl MS 290 but will beat the pants off of it. Might be because I thought the 290 could pull 063 chain with 3/8" pitch. The 290 has trouble with that B&C combination. I always have thought that the "Farm Boss" should have been the 360, but I guess Stilhl elected to make a weaker saw for farmers than the old 041. The manager that made that decision should have been fired. :msp_razz:

Man your killing me,I was lusting after that 797 super also. Personally I would have sold the 125 and kept the 797. I do have a pm 1000 though.

Hey Brent, while hanging with the Mozarkians is still cool, have you seen this thread: http://www.arboristsite.com/chainsaw/231778.htm ?

Steve did you get the flywheel off that 17 homelite yet?

Not yet. I did manage to get the recoil off of it. Boy, that was a rodeo. A real test of patience. After it came off then I could remove the air cowl. The crankshaft sticks out about 2 to 2 1/2 inches. Made a puller adaptor to screw into the 3 screw holes in the flywheel out of a big washer and then use a puller grabbing the washer and pushing against the crankshaft. Put it under tension and left it overnight to see if it would come off. Got to be real careful, I don't want that flywheel to come off in pieces. I might just put it on a shelf for now and bring it to the Jasper GTG for greater minds to look at. Anybody got carb kits for the older Tillotson carbs? HL19D for a mcculloch 1-70. I've also got a Homelite 770D with a Tillotson also, looks like an HL series also. I'll have to take it off to find the number, but not tonight. I'm tuckered out.:msp_sleep:

Ok, Latest update. I still haven't heard if we have camping available on site yet, but another lady said we could camp on her property. She is about 6 miles from the actual site but the highway department is taking 2.5 acres of her land for straightening county road CC. She also has quite a few trees that will be removed to make way. Some of them OLD oaks, maybe 3 feet diameter and bigger. We are trying to find out when this is supposed to start but have not heard yet. So if anyone wants to come Friday, there will be camping available (tent camping) and I am taking Friday off from work and will be setting up camp there too.
Any questions just give me a holler.
Thanks guys,
Steve
