Looking good up there.
Plenty of winter projects in that one room

Lots of orange stuff laying around and those odd long chunks of steel hanging on the wall

[Lee H]

If your referring to the one on the stand it's a 390 GT motor that needs a rebuild. It goes in
a 1967 Mercury Cougar.

My Torino hasn't been touched in a year and a half when i brought it home from the body shop.
Just haven't had the mind set to start on it.

Last i Renner that torino came off the rack. Had some real nice work done to that car. I suppose if that engine needs a rebuild anyways then no real big deal. My core engines I cover them up and oil the he'll out of them before I wrap them up.

So i tried to start this efin saw tonight and gave up. Had fuel in tank as well as oil. Gave her a prime
down the carb. Got it to run a few seconds but not enough time to pull fuel. Primed again and my arm
said thats enough. Kept pulling the rope through my fingers. Ouch, Try again tomorrow. Big saws suck.

I got to run Wendell's at Dan's GTG in AR years ago. I've been looking or one since. That saw just pulled like a cammed 454 or 460...

Great looking saw Lee, the big ones can bite on the first few starts

Having ran a stocker plus Kevins' Varney at Chardon those things definitely need a D-handle . Nice restoration .

Your garage hobbies must be a career by themselves!

You ever get this one rolling Lee?

 

[Lee H]

I did but it has a fuel issue. Haven't had much time to mess with it. I did a pressure vac test
and passed with fly colors. Has a new nos carb that may have an issue. need to try another on it.

@Lee H I only smashed the like button on post #23 for I did not want to flood your inbox.
Sweet build!
I have a small arsenal of Stihls, 2 of which need rebuilds. While cutting with those over the years, I've always had an eye on the Dollies. Always told myself I didn't need more saws. While looking up parts for the 2 dormant saws, the Dollie bug bit me hard.
I love the German saws. A 166 is on my to be acquired list. Dang .... my fingers are close to the lint collection in my pocket now.
Anyways, subbed to this thread to follow along. Looking forward to see her completed.

Nice to meet you all .....
