What's on your bench?

[NCPT]

On the bench for a little performance work. Belongs to Michael Duffy. He saw August ‘s and had to have one. Just a tank or two thru it.
Factory fit/finish and machining is impeccable BTW.

Nice. Post vid when your done, it will be interesting to see if you get worthwhile gains.

Very tedious work. I used bits I’ve never used. Everything is soooo Tiny

Looks like lots of lawn boys will be on my bench now.

I like the old 2 stroke Lawn Boy mowers, have 4 of them and a few parts. One of mine seems to be a little finicky and I can't figure out why yet but I know it's a carb problem or maybe a fuel line or shutoff valve partially blocked. I'll figure it out when I get time...

Cute little clutch

Stock as delivered from the dealer. Pig rich. Shoulda re-tuned it to be fair.

First run.

Wow, totally different saw. I think I would’ve put it back on the self or placed a “for sale” sign on it stock. Nice improvement.

Going through some carbs and hmmm.... something is missing.

Low side on a WT-194. This prob won’t tune, right?

Yes. Same Oregon 3/8 lo pro chain that came on it. Rakers haven't been touched. Saw is a little jumpy in the cut. Maybe because the saw is so light. Kinda hard to manhandle the little rascal.

Nice job Rich.

How was is playing in that tiny bore? What mm is it?

Looks like 2 different saws. I may need one of those.

Where is the needle tip? Did it fall out or is it stuck in the carb?

Boring stuff here. Just an 026 I’m doing as a housewarming gift for a pal who is moving out by me. He never needed a saw before now.

Dang it. I didn’t measure the piston. Just did a quick search and came up empty handed. As far as porting it, a light hand and patience. Given the proportions you can’t take much away without possibly hurting performance. More like cleaning up after the rough in on a larger cylinder
Realistically most of the gains can be had with a MM and TA. The port work is necessary for that last bit of power. The saw comes apart and back together with a bare minimum of fasteners. You can tell they purpose built this saw. Not a wasted ounce.
Factory squish was .036, gasket was .019

No idea! Had to call it quits, will investigate more later.

Those things that make you say fart nuggets to yourself. Had it all together but not really all. When I was tensioning rope I noticed it wasnt smooth. Then noticed the shield laying on other side of bench. So apart it came in a haste. Wrong move the pulley caught the spring end just enough and boing. Back together after I walked away for a bit. SMH

Cutting firewood today with the 365/372, I thought I blew the clutch when the chain started to creep at idle. Took it to my bench (my tailgate lol). Took the clutch drum off, clutch looked just fine (I don’t abuse clutches or slip them purposely). Turns out the drum bearing wasn’t rolling good because the ash dust completely dried it out and it had some debris on it/ the rolling surfaces. No grease on hand so I used bar oil. Slapped it back together and voila.... fixed. Worked great the rest of the day. Grease your drum bearings often cutting dusty wood!

Fixing up this old Contra, this morning removed a broken muffler stud.
Drilled, then used an easyout and finally ran a tap thru it just as a final clean.
