Little project I have decided I am going to try....
I have these FS250s (Brush Cutters) that I have decided I would try and make one work again.
Fact is I have three for parts I should be able to make one out of. All have lost compression though. Soooooooo.
Back in my teens when I was working on mopeds, some I could just hone out the cylinder, install new rings and piston kit and get going again if it was not scoured badly.
Of course what killed my Stihls were the infamous, self destructing Zama Carbs that are on them.
So the next step is not to be raped by my local dealer here and buy the carbs elsewhere for closer to reasonable. If this works I should be able to put one back together for 1/2 or less of what they want to do it for.
I will also need a 40mm cylinder hone if anyone knows where would be a good place to get one. Mostly need where to buy the carb at present.
Lucky me that Baileys has the piston kit since it is the same as the 200t.
