Chainsaw adjuster problem - March 2008

A customer brought in a chainsaw for service, and probable new bar and chain. It definitely needed the new bar and chain, but when we installed them we could not adjust the chain tension, and the bar was not square to the chainsaw. After a closer look we discovered the adjuster pictured below, all bitter and twisted. As the adjuster was turned it pushed the side of the bar in and out. Unless the nuts were very loose you couldn't turn the adjuster. We don't know how it got so bent, but as it twisted the bar relative to the chain drive it probably contributed to the sad state of the bar.

A new adjuster fixed things nicely.

What happens if a pump works against a closed head... - February 2008

This piece of 2" rural pipe came off a pump that had been unable to raise enough pressure to trigger the pressure switch and thus turn itself off (due to air leaks on the input). When that happens, the water stands still in the pump and becomes extremely hot. In this case that heat softened the pipe which burst (even though the pressure wasn't high enough to trigger the switch, it was still very high).

My pump keeps losing its prime...

I wonder why?

Echo chainsaws - long life and reliability - December 2007

This chainsaw was brought in by a customer for a new chain. Its an Echo Little Champ top handle saw, and at least 20 years old. The owner says it has been completely reliable, and has never missed a beat. What is very noticeable is how much lighter the current equivalent Echo chainsaw is in comparison, useful in a saw intended for one handed operation.

The Bridgetown Show - November 24th 2007
