😂 don't like running them🤣 I also wondered how easy you screw with the machine almost all with speed but then i looked out of the box and realized that Scott has done some tziljon fixes and i some few. So no worries about thread going bad. Nice simple video thanks 👍 and no schmutz this time 😂
Husky coil is now Chinese made. The coils would likely last longer if designed on the side oposite the hot muffler. As for your quick starts on screws - your long extension helps with perpendicularity. Good.
That Sir is a big word for this channel but you are right. It does help. I have many sets of unused short bits with blank spots where the 6" bits used to be but are now worn out. Thanks for sharing.
The smaller brush cutters are still a necessity (brush cutting unlike chainsaw working is rarely linear by it's nature, one is doing small tidy up's here and small tidy up's there). Not one straighter, long, consistent piece of brushcutting work. However, this brushcutter which accepts the larger 12 inch diameter robust heavier blades, comes into it's own if you have a half mile of grass verge to do. Along a road side or such, it will gobble it up. Just have about a litre, a couple of pints of fuel each half an hour or so. It's a seriously mean machine and 'gets it done'. A pleasure to use where you have that type of work ahead of you. On the other hand, if you're in small gardens etc going around tricky objects like scrubbery and smaller, delicate verges to make them look visually more snappy. That's not a place to even consider bringing a 12 inch diameter blade to (the nine inch blades and power heads with more fuel efficiency shine). I.e. The brushcutter motors that don't race, but tick over at lower horse power. The 345 brushcutter is really a 'drag racer' design approach to motors, and there are times and situations in which the drag racer approach wins. Where the nine inch bladed tools would just get lost. Sometimes you need that large 'two pint' fuel reservoir of the 345, and you need to burn fuel (hence drag racer analogy), to get most work achieved 'per operator' in the landscaping situation. Net outcome, one probably needs at least two or three types of brushcutter, and quite a number of different kinds of blades.
The 345 also has a purpose or function in dealing with large amounts of briar over growth, as the blade and engine power combined leaves a very tidy, cleaned up space behind it. It acts like one of those landscaping branch processing hopper tools. Where you feed the branches into the hopper, and it comes out the other side as a fine particle dust. That's essentially what the 345 can do to overgrowth. And it means you can process a lot of stuff down to a small size 'on site', and literally just leave it there in many instances. You don't have to bring a trailer, vehicle etc to cart stuff away. Which is what we used to do. We'd make mountains of over growth material and remove it from site. Or leave it in clamps which decayed gradually over a period. Put the 345 brushcutter into the equation, and you end up with far less on site deposits to store, move or otherwise process. The processing part, a lot of it gets done at the blade itself. And that's where the fuel is consumed 'drag racer' style as a result. It's not actually fuel wasteful (as bringing vehicles and trailers, 'double handling' of material as we call it in civil engineering gets even more wasteful of fuel if you add it all up). This brushcutter seems fuel wasteful at first, but it can eliminate a tonne of larger vehicular loading and unloading. The 345 is not cheap, but where it replaces a trailered vehicle and drive time, extra handling costs, this large brushcutter becomes cheaper very fast. That's what amazed me about the tool (you're kind of scratching your head wondering why you didn't have it much sooner). If they're showing up as a tool in America now, I can understand why.
What a coincidence. I lately changed a coil on a 345R brush cutter due to no spark, hoping that was all it needed. But no. I also had put in a new piston because the original was cocked and scored and had low compression. Cylinder I was able to save. Metering diaphragm was also bad. I think that caused all it's problems due to lean condition Does anyone know why these coils go bad ? Does it have to do with to high temperature, perhaps?
Temperature is a factor. Another possibility is using a non-resistor spark plug. Husky has a statement out there somewhere that says use of a non-resistor plug can roach a coil.
When I was a wee lad in school they said that in the future we would all have flying cars, jet packs and be using the metric system. The last one is the only reality.
Thanks for taking time to share with us your experience from central Florida
And Thank You for watching!
A nice simple one for you today, Scott.
Thanks. Simple ones pay the bills just the same but head scratchers are needed to keep things interesting!
Looks brand new!
It does but I don't remember if its new or just lightly used.
Nice repair Scott. Never noticed the Ratfink with the chainsaw before. Laaaaater
You mean my watermark? Its always been there, I've just made him a little bigger.
@@TheGreasyShopRag Do you know the Ratfink history?
@@larryvankirk7423 I don't know the history but as a kid I wore many rat fink t-shirts with some crazy looking cars on them.

The less schmutz the better. Thanks for watching!
Nice Repair Brother 😀😎👍🏼 I’ve Worked on One Of Those a Much Older Model Very Similar Design
Thanks for watching!
Pleasure to change a coil on that machine!
Yep! Thanks for watching!
Well.... that was easy! Machine is clean.
Ya, too clean. I can't remember how old it was.
Finally dome bigger brushcutter
Guys are out cutting lanes for hunting season so I'll see a few more brush cutters this time of year. Thanks for watching!

@@academicmailbox7798 Thank You for sharing your experience with this machine.
Looks like a well built unit. 3 inch sapling or a person’s leg. How many repairs do you find someone installed the coil backwards?
Now that you mention it I'm not sure if I've ever seen one backwards.
How many 4 stroke guys to change a coil on a 2 stroke?
Two.
One to bite the old coil out. The other to hammer the new coil in.
Neanderthal knuckledraggers.
What a coincidence.
I lately changed a coil on a 345R brush cutter due to no spark, hoping that was all it needed.
