Stock muffler with baffle still in too. I dont want to even touch it.
Was starting to need a carb kit in that video. Diaphragms getting stiff.

Had to pull #1 of the 445 down for that the other day too.

Alright so I have a 2083ii that needs a piston so besides stock what would be my best option?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Your best option is to just send it to me.

But but I just got it.

Well then you don't have to rebox it, just stick my address on it and set out for the mailman.

It didn't come in a box.

I've always wanted to get into one of these series of saws. Those fingers better be huge to match TFJ work.

 

[GoBigBlue1984]

I’ve seen a few of TFJ’s cylinders. Wow!!!! Beautiful work.

 

[GoBigBlue1984]

Does anybody know if TFJ still builds any saws or still cuts timber? Last I heard, he was a fitness fanatic now.

 

[ManiacalMark]

He doesn't do either anymore, probably wouldn't build a saw unless it was someone he knew really good. I think he makes plenty now growing mexican spinach, legally.

Would love to see some other folks 475/505 mods/builds. I sent the 475/505/2077/2083 builders/saws I had to DDave. I’ve never heard if they became all out race saws or what happened to them.

Chainsaw Jim ported my 505, it sounds great and runs strong. I have no idea where the numbers would be.

 

[cus_deluxe]

Are you sure that’s what top end is in it?

Pretty sure haha. He runs it with the five cubes at gtgs, but i think its actually a four cube top end

2083ii stock has a 52mm 76.5cc 475 piston is oem I have some used usable if it were for me. I would run them. Slight streak on some where they came out of runners.

oem stihl 064, meteor 064 - both just need pin bosses opened tad. aftermarket bb372 is drop in, but there isnt any good of those I have found even though I ran one in a saw.

I’ve got a good 475 piston if you want it it’s yours. I’ve also got 272 pistons. Short skirts, but they run well with the intake duration uptick. I like the ring end location too if you ever wanna grind some fingers or widen uppers. These saws have good case volume, the intake duration of the 272 piston doesn’t hurt a thing.

Thanks I sure do appreciate it.

I've got what's supposed to be a TFJ two-piece head for 372 that I can post some pics of. The work on it is very nice. I bought it years ago from a member who had met with TFJ and the Rupleys way back when.

Going by the post office in the next couple of days, shoot me a message if you want a piston.
