044 blew its berries

[Chainsaw Jim]

Exhaust bevel finished with 1200 grit.


Intake flattened a little across the bottom.


Set of new caber rings.

It lives again..

I didn't like the exhaust roof and decided to make it better...also a little port matching to the muffler and gasket.

Looks just like an OEM 461 handle to me. Not sure on quality, but it seems fine. And for $27 shipped, it’s good enough for me.

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

Much betterer..

Now it's ready to box up and ship on down to Cali.

So....did you get this saw, and your parts back @cgraham1 ?

I got this saw back, and it runs great. I paid $200 and supplied all parts for the rebuild. Part of that was supposed to pay for a used tall clutch cover, but I never got that from him.

He decided on his own to port it, even though I told him I didn’t want to spend the money for a port job on this particular saw. He said it was to make up for taking so long on the P-60 rebuild.

But yeah, I’ve had this saw since last Dec or so.

After the rebuild...

 

[RI Chevy]

How does it run sir?

 

[Mastermind]

How does it run sir?

I'd bet it runs great. Jim is capable of building a great running, and strong performing saw. Too bad his mental illness keeps him from being sane enough to deal with other human beings.

 

[RI Chevy]

Yes sir...[emoji17]

The 044 turned out pretty nice and from what I saw in the videos, the P-60 looks to be a strong runner.

If Clint makes his way up to get the P-60, I'll make sure he also heads home with a Jobox full of Super EZs.
