Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

Need a 14mm to 10mm adaptor for my compression tester. Anyone know a good source for it?

Trying to troubleshoot a 4cy wacker and figure its easiest to check compression since I guess you can't just pop off the xhaust and intake and look at piston/cylinder. Fuel lines came apart on me when I took it apart so will need new lines and a filter but that will wait until I can verify good compression.

Neighbor said was working when put away last year, with gas in it with stabilizer but I could swear I saw it at the dump in the throw away/metal recycle pile.

Figured it would be a good practice tool. Already broken. Put a new spark plug in it as I didn't see spark but need to test that when I get time tomm.

It's a Ryobi 4 cycle 18" if anyone knows of any common problems with those?(Tbone?)

You need a compressor ! I can do anything without mine !

Not sure if mine is the 8000 or 8500 ? Looks like I have more pieces with mine ?

A lot of the pieces are in compartments. It's the Silverline Elite. Either way I'm happy.

Yeah no doubt I'll need a compressor. His new house may have one in it. If hits the case he said he'll give it to us. If not one more thing to buy.

I have a couple of them whackers,but haven't had to do anything to them yet ? No spark sounds like the coil ?

I would agree if its still got no spark. Is it odd that a coil would go bad just sitting there? I guess if it was in the shed and flexing with the hot and cold it could go open.

Not sure why they do that , but seen a few go bad just from sitting ? Not sure what happens to them ?

Just membered my Brother has one of them 4 stroke Ryobi of mine. He says it quits after running a while. Bet that coil is going on it ! Forgot about it,hes had it a few months now. I have 2 others,but there new. And a craptsman I have been playing with. Lot more power than I expected it to have for 29cc. Not sure what brand made it for sears ? Looks a little different than ryobi ?
I will look at the coil on one to see if I have anything that may work ? Got a pile of junk 2 strokes ! LOL

Has to be a saw somewhere that needs fixing.

Yeah... fixing saws doesn't mix well with Asphalt work unless it's a demo saw.

Bunch of slackers again today !

Finally starting to move,rough night and day so far. Now its starting to rain again. Tomorrow is another day ! LOL

 

[Jimmy in NC]

I have been using epoxy to fill dents on the mac. It didn't work so well on the smaller ones. Might pickup a can of bondo on my way back from school? One exam done today, one to go. One Thursday, one Friday. Hope to get the mac blasted tomorrow.

 

[dancan]

Good luck on the zams .

Holy kwap this Super XL Auto is clean. Piston looks like new, bout all it needs is a carb kit and a short piece of tygon. And maybe a piece of starter rope. Will shine it up good.

 

[IEL]

Exams went well, think I did good.
Picked up a tube of bondo dent and glaze putty, that should make the mac look good. I am talking to my neighbor tomorrow about borrowing his blast cabinet for the day. He has said I can use it any time, but I will ask anyways.
Also, a bit of a DooHH moment. I was at the grocery store dropping off a resume, and I didn't even think to pickup oven cleaner. I have to go back anyways tomorrow, so I guess I will get it then.
Any tips for honing a iron lined saw cylinder? Can it be done very lightly without replacing rings? I think it only needs maybe a thou or two off.
