Shindaiwa trimmer common failure points: T242, T230, T272
Sharing the things I saw when repairing 2-stroke trimmers. Perhaps this video is 20 years too late and is all about Shindaiwa! In the early 2000s these machines were in their prime. I still think these, pound for pound, are some of the best old fashion trimmers.
Lots of detail in long DIY format.

    How did you measure the taper of the piston for making the mould for this?

    • @Gizmowerks
      @Gizmowerks Před 3 dny

      Good question! Short answer is from modeling off old existing piston. Long answer: Measure skirt diameter, distance from skirt to top of piston, top of piston diameter, then finally connect the diameter points two dimensional to “vanishing point”. All that would give you the angle at the point theoretical convergence. As for thermal expansion my best guess

    I can’t see how much that is off but I proved that the top dot is slightly off from factory in one of my videos with lazer and my bike runs great. The timing in the book is explained differently on the dots with the top of the head and counting cam chain pin links.

    Hey man, I have a question. If the factory size jet is 38, but you ended up with a 52, what happened? Is there some other issue that made it necessary to change the jet size? Did you also have to change out the main jet too? Ok I had 3 questions.

    • @Gizmowerks
      @Gizmowerks Před 2 měsíci

      I think the confusion is this carburetor was not OEM but sold as an incorrect replacement.

    • @sweetfender6
      @sweetfender6 Před 2 měsíci

      Exactly. I'm in the same boat. My bike didn't come with an OEM carb, so I bought a clone. At first it ran way too rich, then I set the needle clip to the 2nd from top position. Now it does just like the bike in the video.

    I’d say any old shindaiwa is worth fixing… “First to start last to quit” ended when echo ruined them. Found a NOS Shindaiwa T2500… I bought it on the spot. Maruyama is the only current trimmer I’d buy.

    • @Gizmowerks
      @Gizmowerks Před rokem

      The ramp/pan cams over with the weight of the tail wheel and hits a bolt stopper in a slot. To keep it locked in that slot another nut is run down finger tight. That way the plane can be pushed or pulled in either direction. I got lucky with the pivot point angle. Good luck with your project, keep it simple

      Yes, absolutely but it depends on what you call a long ride. There are tons of bikes available for specific needs and the Tr650 doesn't come to mind for double up riding comfort. It could be done I am sure. After 7 consecutive days riding on the bike my friend broke his chain. I threw my pack off the pillion and he rode on back the 30 miles required to get help. Handled fine haha

Mounts to the upper side engine mount near the head and the top bolt of that lower central engine mount. The Happy Trails skid plate is a tank if you decide to buy one instead.
