Thanks Steve. Everything is clean and fuel lines replaced. The saw starts well in half choke position, but as it runs we seem misting exiting out of the Choke shutter. Before i cleaned and replaced carb parts, there would be massive pooling of fuel in the reservoir behind the choke shutter, but now its just mist. I assume the needle and seat swap fixed that problem.

After the saw stops, I blow air into the carb to clean it of fuel and it starts right away. I will check to make sure the diaphragm is sitting properly but I did notice the welch plugs were missing. I have them as part of a kit so i will reseat the new ones.

You know, the saw works well, but its these little carbs that cause so much headache and frustration.

Will, take a video of it so you can see what i mean by misting. Tilloston does have a good pdf on the carb with exploded views and explanations. But in my case, way to much information.

I got you on the size of saw , will a make a decision but may have to go with a bandsaw type.


Note : I saw some coils on Ebay and other Google searches.

The welsh plugs need to be there, so if they are missing, replace them. Before you do that, run a small piece of wire through the holes to confirm they are open. You can do this even if they are installed, its just harder.

If they are installed, then start at one and one turns from lightly seated on the mixture screws. You may turn the idle speed screw in to help. After the saw starts and warms up, set your idle speed, then check for throttle response. It should accelerate without hesitation; if it bogs its usually rich, and if it stutters or dies its too lean. Then set the high side, with a tach or by ear. It should burble a little bit at wide open out of the wood, if it screams and sounds right out of the wood its not, it needs to be richer. Lots of smoke or excessive missing and its too rich. Keep in mind the filter and cover should be on as they will affect the mixture. More than one carb tuning video or soundtrack out there if you've no idea what I am discussing, but you found us, so you should have an idea.

Make sure the diaphragms and gaskets are in the proper positions, this will get even an experienced guy very frustrated very quickly.

Good luck!

Liv - what is the compression on that saw? If compression is low you could have a lot blowing past the rings and causing it to spit back through the carburetor.

I only found out this stuff after an exhaustive search. I agree it shouldnt be so hard to get parts/service....If I were a smart person Id open an Efco dealership myself....great products

I am currently working on a 251 project (finally) and need a few items:

Clutch springs

Air filter

Muffler gasket

Clutch drum

This saw only has one starter pawl and from the IPL's that seems to be all they show, is this correct or should I be looking for a starter pawl and spring as well?

Thanks,

Mark

 

[jerrycmorrow]

mark,
got pix on the starter, air filter, and clutch drum? might be able to help as i've got a box. there were slight variations on some of these, particularly the filter. is it a 251, 251B, 251 Super; is it points or electronic?

I will get a photo of the flywheel tonight with the starter pawl, as well as the clutch / drum.

I don't know what the AF is supposed to look like as the saw came to me with pieces missing.

Thanks,

does it have an air filter support (a little boxy looking piece) bolted to the carb? some of these saws i've seen came with different type AFs. some of them screwed into the AF support whereas on others the AF support and the bottom half of the AF were one piece. in essence, 2 pieces or three pieces? pix of the carb area and the top of the saw may help.

I have a complete running 251 I would be willing to trade.

For what?

 

[srcarr52]

I mostly need Husky bits, anything that would fit the projects listed in my sig.

 

[heimannm]

scarr - that the one with the detachable starter rope?

I am hoping to track down a few bits to get this one together and going again. Can you tell me which carburetor is on your 251? Mine is not complete and I am hoping to find what I need to finish it up like the needle, metering lever, spring, fulcrum, screws, welch plug(s), etc. etc.

I found a couple more olys

284 MPF, it's a good runner just needs a bar/chain

This 350 had no spark, I managed to fit another coil body to the existing coil legs, It now has a good spark but the starter pulley separated :msp_sad:
If anyone wants to sell me one send a PM thanks :smile2:

 

[Vibes]

Is that 284 an older version, or a newer model. Mine all have the antivibe rubber bushings like that 350 has. Anyhow, thats a nice looking saw. Love the big heavy old Oly's.

I may have a recoil for you if you want to pay shipping from U.S.. Its from a 251. I have it on a 264F now but I bought new recoil springs so I'll be redoing the original. I'll dig out my parts lists and see I I have one for a 350. I've never seen one of those.

I'm in need of a carb for my 999. Anyone know of any around, or another carb that will work on this saw, let me know. Tilly number HT4C850.The replacement is a Walbro W9. I have found one in Italy, for $201. Yikes Also looking for an air filter, or someone who can rebuild mine.

I'm not sure if it's older or newer, this one also has a manual oiler. I have a spare tilly carb from a Alpina 120 that might work on your 999.
I'll check it out , it's buried in my shed somewhere.

 

[jerrycmorrow]

I'm not sure if it's older or newer...

looks like an older points style version. look at the coil wire configuration. still, nice saw. love them olys

 

[jerrycmorrow]

... or someone who can rebuild mine.

got a pic of the filter? i've experimented with some fabric repairs on one of my old flocked screen filters. seems to be doing okay.

No points, it's the same as the 284F, bars are hard to find over here, the longest one Carlton lists is 19" :msp_confused: a bit short for 81cc

You can run the bigger Homelite bars on the bigger Oly's. On the recoil for that 350. It looks to be real close to the 251. I currently have that recoil on a 264F. It wasn't a direct fit but its working fine. I bought the new spring for the 264 and I'll be fixing it soon. I'll have to look through my IPL's when I get the time.

looks like the part no. for the recoil for the 350 is 350.00034; the same as for the 251, 251B, 251S, 252, and the 254.

gmax, i have a spare that came off one of my 200 series parts saws if you want to pay postage or if you just want a specific part from the recoil also let me know.

Thanks jerry, The only part I need is the rope pulley P/N 5100984

I'll send you a PM
