Pro 295
« on: August 20, 2015, 09:45:29 pm »
Picked up one of these and although the P&C are great it does have some issues.  The muffler was obviously loose and burned thru the oil tank.  This is because I think one one of the threads is partially stripped.  Anyway the heat shield is also missing as well as the shield that protects the oil tank.

I guess what I need is a part saw with a roached P&C.  I believe a 295, or 4620 and maybe a 2500 would work.

So no "you Suck" with this one.  I might be better off just selling off the P&C, carb etc.

I have a runner for $50 PHO plus shipping.  Took on trade. Replaced the fuel lines.  Farmhand 295. Didnt like what I saw through plug hole on one side of cylinder.  So pulled muffler and had slight scoring starting on right side.
So I checked the psi and she went to 135psi easily.
I'm using around the the house as is as it runs fine.

Update - found a 4620 runner for $60 (with a new chain I can double my money) and the seller threw in a 2900 chassis including a muffler.
I just want to get confirmation that I can move all the good bits of the pp295 into the 2900 chassis.  One of the muffler bolt hole is reamed out so what's the best way to fix that?

Thanks for any input

Have any of you guys tried a Rotary air filter #12486 in lieu of 530036141?  The 545057701 sucks big time! :'(
