    Husqvarna 281 piston

    I finally got around to putting the 281 to the wood and would you believe the damned thing had a broken clutch spring . I half fast fixed it by joining the broken pieces back together .The closest dealer with parts is like 45 miles away .It should work fine though ,I've done it before . So thus...

    Husqvarna 281 piston

    I had an old PM 610 Mac that did that very same thing with the exception is it would run out a tank full then not start . I tried everyting I could think of .The only thing that worked was about a 20 second cool down run prior to hitting the kill switch . As it turned out it was all due to my...

    Then too you have problems at times when replacing a molded rubber type line with a plastic one .The rubber stuff is more limber it seems . The problem is ,where in the world do you find the damned stuff that will work on a saw .Most,including myself use some space age plastic in its' stead and...

    Husqvarna 281 piston

    It gets real hairy ,so to speak . You get to chopping off a spring to change length then it changes the rate per coil rating . You can't effevtively squeeze one together but if you lengthen one it changes the dynamics and so on . From one tiny tiny bit I know about,they say to get a bulk bag...

    Oh wee that's a fine line when you do that ,Yes--to a point but too much over ,even a RCH will flood it in a heart beat .

    Husqvarna 281 piston

    Flopping? Like in that tank maybe .That wasn't the problem .It was limping along just doing horizontal cuts until I tweaked it . That thing looks to me like it has a governed carb like a 2100 .As such when it reaches a certain speed the vibrations are supposed to richen it up a tad bit . I...

    Husqvarna 281 piston

    Yes there could something going on with it other than just the carb being out of wack . They might have fiddled with it for all I know before I got a hold of it . I've seen the screens partially plugged in the carb that can cause this but I never checked that out,should have though I suppose ...

    Husqvarna 281 piston

    These old saws are legiondary old power houses and still highly sought after .They were made before the EPA got to detuning our saws for us and making them use wimpy oilers . This thing arrived last night with compliants it just didn't have the power it used to .Well it turned out to be too...
