the all aussie dribble thread!

[VinceGU05]

Having the same issue with my 441..?

Mine is the same if it's been sitting for weeks. But once started I have no issues the rest of the day.

Snowy and mine are both CM's.

I reckon every husky has a different switch layout!

 

[ausneil 1]

Lol ok. I don't know if this switch arrangement is a common thing with husky's hence the dumb questions and answers.
Stripped most of it down now and nothing jumping out at me just yet as to why. The L needs a good fattening up tho!!

Alls good Vince, i must of been in one of those moods when i read the post, i have learned a bit from that misgeviouse bloke they call ''Matt'' (the original).

Speeking dumb questions, some of the threads which start by someone asking some very simple things that with a moments thought one would think they could work it out for them selves, saws are not jet fighters.But then we see those dreaded OIL threads and the whole place goes off......

nice day here on the job, expecting a southerly anytime with a cold snap.

The day I can teach you anything Neil about chainsaws or timber would be an epic day

I've started to wonder if some of the stupider threads are just an idiot who is bored and playing with the Internet.
They tend to go one of two directions - the OP disappears, or they start talking to themself, getting more awesome with every post until they are a rocket scientist.

Don't sell your self short Matt, I'm just a busted up ex footballer who spent most of his life working way out in forests miles away from any one wearing out 4x4s every 4 years or so.
"Cutty Cutty " is a bit like Lasseter's Reef, there somewhere but not seen but, plenty have tried to find it.

 

[Snowy01]

In its defence it had been around sitting for a while, once it's warmed up though, nil problems

 

[herbs]

Think it has slight surface rust. [emoji12] made for easy access for engine removal.

Poor 45

 

[rogue661]

Got the transmission back on Monday for the Skidder.. Managed to get it bolted back up to the engine and in the machine today..Should be going end of week if all goes well.

This is the worst vehicle for rust I've ever seen. Engine is still ok though. Just gotta nick some wiring and the dash cluster yet, then it'll be scrap.

Quick Q for young Ben the Stihl guru.

A mate is the local Stihl shop tech (part time, he has his own small engine business) and he's had two 390's come in the last week with holed pistons.
not just seized, but holes burnt through the crown.
He said Stihl have been less than helpful, have just sent replacement parts (warranty)
He said the fuel tested ok and the customers assured him they had been mixing at 50:1 with Stihl oil "and it just happened..."
He asked me (I know, getting desperate ! ) and all I can think is just too damned lean on the HS, AKA operator error, but I said I know someone ! just in case it's something odd like miles too high pop off/a batch of dodgy carbies or blocked/dodgy tank vents.

Any ideas ?

Same thing happened to a Hi-ace bus I know of, but that had 960k on the clock so that is probably expected.

Do you worry about new tyres or chains fix that.

Did they drive it into the surf, leave it for a week then retrieve it ?

A friend has a nice 47 Troopy her and her partner use for towing their horses but far too many have gone to god with the dreaded tin worm.

I've got a nice Kolbenschmidt piston out of a certain Land Rover with a lovely crack on the edge of the bowl from too high combustion pressure too. (too much advance, too much fuel even though EGT's were never excessive, sort of...)

It'd still be going up and down (maybe) if someone hadn't lifted the head to swap the head gasket.
