Afternoon everybody. Hotter than the devils playground out today.
I don't see how people can live in the desert southwest. They say " yeah, but it's a dry heat". I say, Yes, but it's still like sticking your head in an oven.

108º heat index here today. There is a difference in dry heat and humid heat. Likewise, there is a difference between dry cold and humid cold. I would rather be in Phoenix today for sure.

Just a fellow showed me his collection.

There is an Echo twin or two in there. A couple Homie 1050 gear drives.

He has two or three Echo 750 he is to check if he can help me with parts for my JD 80EVA.

For the life of me don't know why he bought my MS650 and 394 as he already has several.[emoji57]

He is needing parts for a Stihl 084. Some kind of cable for the oiler???

 

[67L36Driver]

His Stihl 084 project middle shelf right past the bin drawers.

I'll take the second one.......

I went to start my 044 on Saturday and the starter cord pulled without any resistance. Tried 30 times with no response. It was not turning the flywheel at all. Took saw to Stihl dealer Monday, took starter assembly off, showed tech, and he told me I needed a new clip thingy (looks like a paper clip). It cost $1.09 plus tax. I changed it on the counter and we tested it off the saw. It appeared to be working according to he and I. The plastic arms were coming out as if to engage the flywheel, which was not happening before. Problem solved. Get saw out to test start yesterday. 3-4 pulls and the starter was not engaging the flywheel like before. On the 5th or 6th pull, the starter engaged the flywheel at the end of the pull, not enough to turn the flywheel over. Kept pulling and started engaging flywheel in the middle of the pull....enough to get a pop and eventually start after a dozen pulls or so. Some pulls I got no engagement of the flywheel at all, some at half the pull, and some from the start of the pull.

Starting a saw like this would drive me nuts, especially in this heat. What do you recommend? Replace the whole starter assembly? I wouldn't mind an Elasto-start anyway.

 

[67L36Driver]

Did you replace the plastic dogs? They get chewed off on their engagement end.
Note: some have one and some have two. Two is better for big saw.

Alternative is to snag a China cheapie off evilbay. Sometime get for twenty bux or less.

No you won't, I will.

Damn vultures..........

No, they looked to be in good shape (not chewed up at all IMO). There are 2. The dogs (as you call them) are not opening up properly. when they do open up, they engage just fine.

PSH... Well see...
