the all aussie dribble thread!

It feels like about 130psi, I could bump it up a little with Cabers but I CBF working on that saw anymore

Leave it as a shelf queen Wayne, you could always explain it as a poor substitute for a real 090, hence why its on the shelf. (every collector would have at least 1 lemon)
If it had more than 130, those 4 bolts holding the cylinder down may pull out of that chineese (low quality) case. or break the crank or..........

How is Serg going Rick, I have not seen his direct, no nonscence responces for quite a while now.
I won't knock anyone who spends a lot on tools, I just wish my boys would put them back instead of leaveing them on the ground.

He's fine, talked the other day and sent me a text last night.

Had a bit of bad luck with his car though, had the engine out (again) and had to have the deck re-machined as it 'dropped'

I've never, ever heard of a cylinder block 'dropping' in use after a full rebuild....

Had a nasty eye infection recently too, otherwise OK, but the poor bugger has had way too many outgoings in the last twelve months.

I asked when and where was the Chinaman he knocked over.

Lol that reminds me, a couple of months ago I went to remove a clutch from a Dolmar 109 carcass, I locked the piston with rope & unscrewed the clutch,
but it seemed tighter than normal.
I snapped the cylinder off at the base :msp_scared: upon closer inspection 2 cylinder bolts were missing.. oops! :msp_wub:

I picked up a Stihl 019T, I'm going to fit the engine into a better looking case, these saws would have frustrated a lot of owners
when they realized the engine has to be removed to replace the fuel line

havent been around much, about all I have done on my saws is strip all my 2100s down and clean every part. I pretty much have 4-5 complete saws, just need a couple decent cylinders...have been looking for a NOS but I may be waiting much longer. As Rick said, truck has been giving me grief but thats life. Yes I have a snap on compression tester, 2 actually. 1 2t and 1 diesel. It is getting much harder these days to buy good quality without buying the top line stuff. It seems to be much like the ideal class structure of the western world, 2, the top and the bottom....no middle ground.

I hate cheap tools!!!


Im only about 300 pages behind here so have nothing to add. Hope all are well and you guys down south have your wood piles stocked. Getting cold already.

An MT308L Snap On comp tester I was watching went for $142 yesterday in Brisbane, so not too bad and an EEPV500 went for $192 in Sydney.

 

[Matt_M]

Was that on ebay? I think i was watching the same one!

I ended up buying a new chinese one for $40. Be interested to see how it goes.

Stressed trees may drop dead even thou its rained.

Actually mate that's quite common. See it a fair bit after dry conditions where a slug of salt gets washed into the root zone or where there is too much rain and the water table comes up, bringing the salt with it. Dry soil can also cause a heap of issues with fine feeder roots. Ah the joys of tree care eh?

Hello Serge, I was only asking about a few days ago. I hate cheap tools also. But my boys will loose snap on just as easy as supercheap tools, make no difference to them.

 

[husq2100]

respect is respect no matter what the cost of an item. Its just hard to instill that in some, and buggered if I know why??? Sounds like it may be time to lock the tool box.

 

[Matt_M]

What qualifications do you need to open a repair shop in NSW ?

Do you need to be a mechanic ? Or is it just experience and skills ?

Really not sure, best check with the NSW Dept. Fair Trading as that's who will be issuing your license to trade.

My mate who is the local small engine/saw/mower bloke is a trade mechanic.
He did his time at one of the local garages.

More fun would be to slyly hook up an electric fence kit to the toolbox.... :hmm3grin2orange:

Sounds like my job. I ended up buying a store-safe lock up box to keep all my tools safe while on site. Keep it locked all day unless im taking something out of it.

I see someone local has finally cottoned onto the 'ceramic bearings' like the bloke on US ebay.
Check the prices here!
HotRod Ported Polished Ceramic Bearings Husqvarna Stihl Chainsaws | Power Tools | Gumtree Australia Southern Downs - Warwick
he is also on ebay

At least the bloke in the US that was spouting his ported, polished ceramic bearing Huskies also supplied them with an extra comforting layer of tennis racquet grip wrapped over the handle for his exorbitant fee!

I don't reckon you'd need any qualifications to open a repair shop but your business insurance might be a different story. Trust me that if you're dealing with customers you'll need some sort of insurance to cover your arse and without qualifications you may find that insurance is hard to get or bloody expensive. Without insurance you'll always end up with that one customer who'll try to pull one over you and if something ever went to court you could end up on the wrong side if you can't show you are qualified, certified, or authorised for said repairs.

Not sure of the benefits of ceramic bearings in a chainsaw pulling low revs. I know in high revving model engines ceramic bearings may need to be used but I don't see many chainsaws pulling 70,000rpm Unless Neil builds them, then they might...

I'm always wary of saw building guys who pop out the woodwork claiming to be gurus when nobody has ever heard of them. When I joined AS you could count the number of saw builders here on one hand. Now every man and their dog claims to be a gun builder. Some are, some aren't...
