Sorry, they sold out to the Italians, who latterly have sold it to BMW

rotodiesel

Thanks - this is definitely a Husqvarna machine; much better quality than the others. I'll take another look at the plug as it's ages since I last tried to get it out. Thanks for your help.

Regards, rotodiesel.

Sorry to be picky, i have worked for Husqvarna for thirty years this year, and we have never used a taper seat plug, it may say it on the ser no. plate but it will be a consumer product.
Cheers.

I've just pulled the machine out - it's a model 136. As I've been unable to remove the plug I couldn't be absolutely certain but it looks and feels like a taper seat. I would appreciate your comments.

Regards, rotodiesel.

See I told ya didn't I, just cos some of you was still swimming in yer dads sacks at the time, I knew I'd seen the name before, and as my mum ain't a lumberjack it had to be sewing machines

Thx for clearing it up for me HQVM

Bluefox

Lol!

That told us didn't it!!

Welcome to the site anyway, hope you get your problems fixed.

Get the plug out of Roto's chainsaw and I'm sure he'll probably come round and fix it himself

The 136 was a hobby saw produced in our Poulon factory in the US the plug is not a taper seat it should be a Champion RCJ7Y or a NGK BPMR6A the factory used air tools to tighten the plugs and regretably some are murder tight, the plug is 17mm across the flats, we do have a long handle box spanner to remove them, you will not do it with the combi spanner supplied with the saw, let me know if you want me to send you a spanner.
I forgot what my original thread was after all these replys.

Thanks, Andrew. Now I know it's just tight I'll leave it with some penetrating oil around the thread and apply sanctions later. Thanks also for the offer of a spanner - I work with military diesels so a spanner as big as you like is no problem for me at all... It's holding the engine without damaging it which is the problem - I might fabricate two wooden blocks and hold the whole lot in a Workmate. Is the cylinder head steel or aluminium?

I hope you get somewhere with the Superb clutch by the way (returns to topic) but I would persevere with considerate but meaningful use. I took my car out this morning and had to concentrate very hard to feel just a trace of judder when cold.

Thanks for the chainsaw info - seems I was right about the American engine (I hate their diesels!)

Regards, rotodiesel.

The cylinder is alloy, with a nickasil plated liner inside, let me know if you ever want any bits and peaces for it, they are notorius for brake band wear, and ignition unit failures.
Regards.

Let's have a chainsaw forum for real men!!
Mine's a 254

Bluefox

Hmm. I'm feeling slightly left out here, and if I'm honest my manliness questioned...

I have a petrol lawn mower if that counts?

You'll be ok with that BUT NO ELECTRIC MOWERS

Continuing off topic, when I was a lad, my father used a Tellus 2 man saw - until someone dropped a tree on its board! I used to get bits of stones etc in my eyes holding the second end - eventually Danarms seem to be what was used and they could give you a sore hand when they grabbed the starting cord. But I've also got a petrol (B&S) engined mower for the grass and a crappy town person's electric chain saw for an out of control hedge! Clinton Ironstone engines used to be quite good too (Merrytiller)!

Yes lets have a chainsaw forum, much moren intresting than cars.

Supurbia

Timbaaaaaaaaaaah !
