    Hey thanks alot for posting this video. I got an NWP big bore kit for my makita/dolmar 6401. i've never put a piston or cylinder on anything before, but after watching your video it took me 1.5 hours from start to finish. I've run two tanks of gas through it and it's running great, so i guess you taught me the right way to do things.

    I would recommend giving the whole saw a good cleaning with an compressed air hose before taking anything apart.

  • @donyboy73
    @donyboy73  Před 12 lety

    @arribanuevoleon try the pin and or bearing from the old one, unfortunately sometimes these chise kits may not be an exact fit unless you were sent a different one, you could always exchange it for another one

  • @daand12
    @daand12 Před 12 lety

    @donyboy73 The moped is running again. First start was ofcourse without exhaust + new piston rings. My dealer saw that the old was worn. Just as normal a bit oil in the Cylinder and piston and a bit to much on the crank so there was a little bit to much oil in the crankcase. Now only i had to put the old exhaust gasket, because i wasn't able to screw the bolt in with new gasket.

  • @Lasselkv28
    @Lasselkv28 Před 12 lety

    Very nice video. I just did the same to my Husqvarna 353 a few days ago. Was not as worn as this one, but enough to make it very hard to start and low on power.

  • @daand12
    @daand12 Před 12 lety

    @donyboy73 I gonna take out the piston pin tomorrow, because for new rings i need go to the dealer. And i want that they insert the piston into the Cylinder ( before i break more rings ) Installing the Clips back is easy. I dont know if thats possible with an screwdriver. Taking out that is possible, I also can see some scoring on the piston and Cylinder, but i cant feel that by fingers. I used sandpaper to remove Carbon on the top of the piston. But dont forgot the engine is 17 years old.

  • @donyboy73
    @donyboy73  Před 12 lety

    @daand12 if you remove them carefully usually you can reuse them

    I have acquired a Husqvarna 55 that I'm having trouble adjusting the carb. I've replaced all the lines and rebuilt the carb, mostly by watching your vids, thx! I have replaced the seal on the crank side but am unsure about tearing into the sprocket side to replace that seal. Do you have any videos on doing this? Great videos, very good instructions.

  • @pivotboy63
    @pivotboy63 Před 13 lety

    @xxtruckin93xx well since its that old you should clean out the carbon anyway, but that doesnt always cause low compression, it could be bad rings

  • @donyboy73

  • @johnvandyk2592
    @johnvandyk2592 Před 9 lety

    Thanks for the video. I pulled my 55 apart and could not believe the piston ring was also fused to the piston. I did not think it was really that bad. The new top end just came in the mail from, wait for it....China.

      @johnvandyk2592 Před 9 lety

  • @wcjcnc
    @wcjcnc Před 10 lety +1

    Hey donyboy73. Every now and then I get a chainsaw that's really hard to pull. The pull rope is really jerky, and seems to hang up, break free, hang up, break free, etc. With the plug out they pull really easy. It's not flooding or a clogged exhaust port, or the recoil mechanism. They have great compression and everything seems fine. What the hell causes this? I know it's not normal compression that causes this. I also know the flywheel key is not sheared because I always check. I work on a lot of chainsaws but I get one like this about once every two months and have no idea what causes this.
