    044 Carb Rebuild--baseline settings??

    When you check compression does it hold? If the carb and such are good then it sounds like it there is no vacuum to pull the fuel in. Great series of vids Steve's Small Engine Saloon https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpqca7L2YYDN-BIHUQ2TfAA

    Stihl 036

    So with full disclosure in mind, I did a bone head move today. I went and got a new 3/8x.05 chain today for the 036. I get home install it, fire up the saw and immediately something doesn't seem right. Yep should have checked that the bar that came on the saw matched the rim on the saw. 325 rim...

    044 Carb Rebuild--baseline settings??

    Pull the spark plug out and give it a few pulls with the choke on. You should smell the gas or see the top of the piston getting wet. There is still a chance that either the coil is bad, sparks cold but none when the motor heats up. You have spark when the ignition is on, and no spark when it is...

    044 Carb Rebuild--baseline settings??

    1 & 1 should get you close. I just redid an 036 and they are the exact setting I used to do the initial startup. Double check that the fuel lines did not get pinched. Make sure all the linkages are moving freely. If all that looks good pull the carb off and make sure it was all put back...

    That's exactly what I was thinking.

    Stihl 036

    Fired up in about 6 pulls, carb set 1L, 1H. Idile set at 2000 rmp at left to run for 5 minutes and then shut it off. Came back in an an hour let it warm up again. Reved it up a few times and tweaked the carb settings. Now at 1-1/8L & 1-1/4H and 12,100rpm at the top end. Seems to spin and cut...

    Stihl 036

    I got rebuilt last night and really wanted to fire it up. Since it was @11pm I figured it might be better to wait. So now I'm just killing time until the wife wakes up. Screw the kids they need an alarm clock anyway, lol.

    Stihl 036

    I have that tendency, lol. It would start or kick, so after testing the electronics and coil I new the coil was bad. Pulled the carb and muffler and could tell it had not ran in a long long time. Opened the carb and could see it needed a good cleaning and kit. While in there I noticed some...

    Strongest paracord

    If I recall Paracord is the same as 550 cord, aka 550lb break strength.

    Stihl 036

    In deep now. New coil, Carb, Cylinder and Piston kit. Luckily I got the saw for 50 bucks.

    New medium-large saw... 562, 576, MS461...?

    That is a whole lot of money and saw for 1 tree. I have an Echo Timberwolf @60cc, cost about $350. I run a Husky 28" bar and skip tooth when I had to. It cut fine and oiled fine, just took a little longer and I didn't look cool. Don't get me wrong my wrong my 84cc Dolmar runs circles around it...

    Stihl 036

    I had always heard the 36's were a good saw, just never ran one. If I can grab it for $50 bucks I was thinking it might make a good saw to get professionally modded.

    Stihl 036

    So I have a chance to buy this one for @$50-$100. Doesn't seem to be getting spark at the moment but everything else seems okay, give or take. So the question is "Is an 036 worth rebuilding?". Where is the rebuild $ line to quit, $400??? The bar alone is almost worth the price he wants.

    Rear camera placement (on hitch plate)

    Mine is mounted on the frame itself.

    Yep, I stole this idea from Reg's video.

    Here is the side view from above. Like I said not done yet.

    Rear camera placement (on hitch plate)

    Mine is mounted in the upper center. I can take a pic tomorrow in the light. Only caution there is the dump body hitting it or the back gate dropping into into. It works for me but caution and placement is key up there. It will make more sense after I upload a pic.

    Yep, I stole this idea from Reg's video.

    It does rotate. I was hoping to finish the welds today but it was raining out. High amperage in the rain always seemed like a bad idea to me.

    Striping rust & paint, repainting

    Yep, I stole this idea from Reg's video.

    Lol, $3000-$5000 on a $4000 chipper just didn't make sense to me. This setup cost me less than $300 for the steel. I already owned the winch. Add a couple hours for machining, welding and paint eventually. For the couple jobs I do a month it just seemed to make more sense for me.

    Not done yet but you get the idea if you haven't seen @Reg video yet. Thank Reg, and thank your neighbor as well for his creativity.
