It sounds like you need an IPL for that saw so you can see where and how the oil and fuel tanks mate together there may be a gasket of some kind if you were to split the saw that could possibly be failing.
Yes.
In fact, it boils its fuel. Almost all of my Remingtons boil their fuel.
Does it have enough pressure in the tank that you can hear it escaping when you unscrew the lid I would bet my bottom dollar that something is leaking compression into the fuel tank and that is pressurizing the tank and causing fuel to get into your oil tank
if it is in fact boiling the fuel or causing vaporization of any kind that will make pressure in the tank there is a leak of some kind between the two tanks perhaps only a crack that opens up when there is pressure in the fuel tank a way to test that theory would be to run it with the cap unscrewed slightly to vent the pressure off the tank if there is no fuel in your oil after that you will have found your problem after that you will have to figure out what is causing the leak
Hope it helps
And if the outside of the tanks have been welded shut that means internally they could still separate under a certain amount of pressure because they wouldn't be able to weld down inside the tanks?
The tank bolts onto the crankcase
so I am posing a quick question here. I have a guy that wants to trade a boat to me for a running 55ish cc saw or repairing his Huqvarna 455. He replaced(or had) the carb replaced but can't get the saw to stay running, it just fires and dies. I haven't had a chance to take a look at it yet but am doing pre-research on it. Anyone here know of any issues with this saw?
If it fires and dies, I'm still going to say a carb issue, possibly a impulse/fuel line problem. Haven't worked on any huskys, do they have an intake boot? That may be a problem also if it is cracked, but I doubt it. Nice potential trade by the way. Does it come with an outboard?Hey guys, I realize this isn't a vintage saw question but this is the only forum worth following
it comes with a 1967 evinrude 80 HP motor, trailer. the boat is a little small maybe 16' the boat looks a little dirty but otherwise intact. Trailer looks pretty solid.
sure is, a Thunderbird suix tri-hull
Those ranchers are notoriously bad about that from what I've seen, I think it's mostly a quality control issue because the carbs used in those saws aren't held to the same QC as their 3 series and 5 series saws are. There is also a lot of issues with overheating and not starting after the Saw heats up and that's right out of the box. I would say check all of the regulars, maybe look and see if there is a fuel line routing problem, where the fuel line will pinch shut, also check the fuel filter for any problems and the compression, make sure it didn't eat something and won't run now because it loses compression too quickly.Hey guys, I realize this isn't a vintage saw question but this is the only forum worth following
Tri-hull the only thing I use to see til they changed over to what they run now. Before that was the deep v hull.
