I'll be posting this Stihl FS 56 RC on marketplace. It's an older unit, but the endoscope shows me rings, piston and cylinder wall are in good condition. I've done all the maintenance on it replacing filters and spark plug as well as fuel lines. I pulled the drive tube and cleaned and lubed it as well. I also disassembled and serviced the gearhead. And last, but not least, I rebuilt the carburetor. Oh yeah, I wound the head with 12 feet of line so it's absolutely ready to go. I'm listing it at $90.00 but I have a little wiggle room. You can contact me here or through the listing on marketplace.

This is what happens when you don't store your equipment properly. A little maintenance goes a long way. Now, it's a repair that could have been avoided.

Well, business is looking up! Just like the old saying "Feast or famine".

Here's an unfortunate scooter situation. This customer bought this unit used without having it checked out. They paid a bit above average price for this unit if it was in good to excellent shape, but it was in very poor condition. After one days riding if quit. Battery dead, broken controls, no front brake, seat and plastics not fastened, faulty wiring and then some. After making it start and repairing all the "safety" issues, I still had to make some performance repairs. With all the repairs made, the customer picked it up and was pleased with the repair and appearance and performance.

Well, I've been slack with my postings. My business has been pretty slow this time of year. Not much call for snow blower repair. Fortunately, I had some scooters come in for repair. I wasn't thinking, so I only have these pics. This one got an engine transplant with a used engine, and the customer is quite satisfied with the repair and the price.

Here's what it takes to assemble a saw from the ground up. This is a Stihl MS 180 C-BE. At the end you can see the final results.

Why NOT to buy a Poulan. A customer brought me this saw and said it wouldn't start when hot. They had replaced the carburetor with an aftermarket unit, a cheap Chinese clone. I'd asked the customer if they had the factory carb, they did, and I got it with the saw. So I pulled the carb and plug and looked at the cylinder. All looked fine, so I pulled the factory carb apart and it had deformed diaphrams. So I ordered a factory kit, cleaned the carb (ultrasonic) rebuilt it and reinstalled it. Flushed the fuel tank and installed fresh fuel at the correct mix. Using factory carb settings, I tuned the saw, but it never did seem exactly right. Seemed to need constant adjustment, and no, it would not start when hot. So, on to the internet to check some known issues. I found ot these saws have two inherent issues. First, the muffler is VERY restricted. And, the factory carbs are set VERY lean. This leads to cylinder damage on the exhaust side. So I pulled the muffler and sure enough, the cylinder is scored. The saw has compression, will start and run however it will never be right. So now I eat this repair, as I should have pulled the muffler first to check both sides of the piston. Lesson learned-DO A COMPLETE DIAGNOSIS!!!!!!!!!!
