That's what I am thinking Al.. Just like a saw... mo power is better! The FS250 is 40cc and one of the best cutting (if not the best) brusher/weed wacker on the market in it's class. I run blades on them, power scythe and string. Use them for thinning small trees to... Like a hot saw with handle...

HAHAHA its all good Gary... I check Ebay from time to time... Not much there for what I got thus far... But I always check when I am scoping on some rope deals.. Good news today.... I got to go through the dead carb box at the dealer today and I think I found some donors for that pesky spring...

I have always been that way too Al... Get frustrated walk away and not think about it.... Usually a solution will present itself. Then ya just sit there and wonder why ya didn't think of that before... ??

Truly warm is a no no with the Rolling Rock.. But these were ice cold... :) Ya just need some cardboard an cups Al ... ;) I can't wait till I have a real shop to do all this in... It is in the works, pretty much a pole barn. We have a couple other places I could set up but everyone clutters them...

I used the lids off the spray cans to hold the parts... LOL The cardboard to keep the parts clean.. Every time I have a piece of plywood it gets used for a chicken coop or sumptin:lol: We will have a shop someday... This was seriously on the fly as we lost a Brusher today... So I had to get...

Now I don't have a Tach yet... But here we have the "runner" set by ear. I will have her tuned in the AM at the local guys shop for break in... Then we will start on the next one... <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie"...

Installed the new carb after a cleaning and gaskets etc. Unfortunately our compressor decided to stop working.... Guess that will be my next lil project :|: Of course you have to have the appropriate beverage whilst doing "home work" :D:/:

Found some blocks that the kids had ;) Worked great for holding the piston up while I slid down the jug over it. Here is the #2 FS250 that donated the carb... Note the old style HBs Comfy for some. I like the newer style better :) And BTW I used the tip of the aluminum can for the ring...

Ok here we are again... I had a new Carb on the old FS 250 that just seized up after 5 years. Was the second one we bought.. The wand is stihl running at almost 6 years and it doubles as a pole saw in fall/winter/spring. This is #4 FS250 that died after 2 years of which it spent A LOT of time...

Thanks you two... Dang things have gone up obviously... They used to be $65.00. Might just take you up on that Eddie. I will pull a few I have around here and let you have at them. Did you see that spring part number I posted? 1123 122 3000. Is that the same part for the S83 carb? It's the...

With the truck situation today and then next two weeks being as hectic and expensive as they are going to be.... I will be putting this project on hold. Brian, find out what you can if you want or wait until I get back in town in June. If you do check, could you ask about the return spring on...

I will try to polish light with pad and possibly the oven cleaner. As I am going through these I will pick out what is best on them. Hey if I have to buy a cylinder I will still be ahead on one or two. looks like just a piston ring kit on this one with a carb. Carb is what I am hung up on now. I...

HAHAHAHA

Hmmmmmm.... Like I said the cylinder looks pretty clean so maybe the pad like Al suggested or oven cleaner will do the trick. Hey if the repair even lasts a season I am ahead of the game ;)

Thanks for the tip Al... I looked the flex hones up on Baileys and they only carry as small as 42mm. The cylinder is 40mm. So I will be shopping and looking for the right hone.

Could be that CA requires a leaner carb Brian, I am not sure but it would make sense. When I trouble shot the FS 55 that we use for light detail trimming they had put a CAT muffler on it for CA. I ordered a different one and it works just fine. Does not melt things like the throttle cable and...

Ok pulled Cyl head off... no scouring, normal wear looks like... Little mark on the piston skirt. Honing will work plus new piston kit. Carb has not worn on the throttle butterfly bushings, just a broken return spring. I think I will start with a new carb though and see if I can order the...

Ok I pulled the latest carb on the last self destructing FS250. Zama Carb C1Q S83 Part number 4134-120-0604A accourding to the ZAMA site.

Thank you for apologizing and I am sorry I snapped also. Swapping carbs is no problem... Already done my 455 and FS55, and one FS250 because I had a couple new carbs from other repairs done in the past. Tooling meaning Tach, hone, full set of torx etc. And a work bench to call my own.... The...

Umm Brian..... chill..... No I did not say I "bored cylinders". I have honed them. Most of why I often don't do my own work is just for lack of time and tools. Now it is more money that is driving me to do so instead of throwing money at a problem. It has also been 30 years since I did small...
