noscript for firefox. Works great and was passed onto me by 660mag  Only need it for AS. I disable 99% of the time and enable only when going to infected AS.

Sadly I'm a regular Firefox user and mine is infected.  I have modified Chrome and IE and you can get in to AS but you can't login so you can't see most pics or respond and make entries.  Real bummer!

PS no matter how I try to fit the bar and chain, once I tighten up the bar nuts the chain won't move.  Maybe the chain brake is faulty or mal-adjusted?

I figured how to log in with IE.  The login box in the top/right corner does nothing (with javascript disabled).  However, you can 'trick' the browser into giving you a login box that does work.  Go to a thread, and then click 'reply'.  The board will tell you that you can't post unless logged in and will give you a login box in the center of the screen.  Log in (be sure to click 'remember me') and you'll be good to go.

Hi Aaron,
I finally managed to get a B&C mounted on my 35.  It is one off an old Super EZ or XL AO.  The bar needs a good filing to bring it back to acceptable standard and somehow I managed to find a very nice Stihl chain for it so should cut very well.
I can now log in to AS but can't contribute or respond, anyway making progress
Regards,

Lee

Glad to hear you got a B/C on it.  AS has had a "we're working on the site, try again in 25 minutes" message for the last 3 or 4 hours at least.  Hopefully they'll fix it...

Hi Aaron,
So the 35 starts but won't stay running.  H&L set at 1 turn out and have fiddled with that some but even when revving it will stop after 15-20 seconds like it's not getting enough fuel, or maybe too much! With the saw on cardboard on the floor it is making a blackish wet spot under the muffler. New lines, new filter, new intake boot and new carb kit (all from chainsawr)

But still havin' Fun

Hiya Lee,

You're getting closer.  Did you replace the impulse line along with the others?  If so, did you use transparent Tygon type line, or black rubber?  Tygon type vinyl line won't hold up in an impulse line application.

Also.............................the fuel starving problem could be due to a bad fuel tank cap duckbill valve.  Over time, they melt and can clog things up.  Try starting it and then loosening the fuel cap a turn or so before it dies.  See if it then stays running.  If that's it, you'll need to clean out what's left of the old duckbill and install a new one.  It's easy and cheap.

Fuel starvation could also come from not having the carburetor pump side gasket and diaphragm in the right order.  Starting from the pump side of the carb body, you put the diaphragm on first and then the gasket.  Reversed, it'll run.............but not well.

Thanks for the feedback,

Yes black impulse line. I'll pull the carb and check all the gaskets and diaphrams as well as the metering lever.  I haven't checked the duckbill yet either. Will try with gas cap loose.  At least it's nice to hear it start!

The 35 is actually the first of the 35/350/360 series.  The 35SL is a 35 with a chain brake.  SL signifies a chainbrake on these saws.  Same with the 350SL and 360SL.

Measure your bar studs.  Are they 3/8" (9.5mm) or 5/16" (8.2mm)?  IIRC some saws of this series used the Oregon D096/D196/Windsor UXL mount (as used on the SXL-AO), while others used the K095 'small Husky' mount as used on XL76-130 and E-Z/Super E-Z/XL-1/XL-Mini/Super Mini/etc Homelite saws.

Can you post a pic of the bar mount area of the saw with the inner bar plate and bar on the studs?

Looking at the UT numbers, the 35sl is the highest.  Might that indicate that the 35 is the latest model?
