Saw builds

Jason tells me my Dolmar has a lot of compression lol

Any experience with the 1201a flywheel and the 046 coil? Forget the part number now... Wiggs posted a few years ago about it working so now I have two. They work, but can bite ya. They both have D handles.

I make the best running saws with a oem piston.
The husky pistons are heavy and unless you shim the pin bearing it could be a problem,I had a couple fail in 066's so I'll never use one again,besides a meteor 064 piston has more skirt than you need.
Also on a 064 that already has a thin base then take .100 off and it's paper thin.
Oe piston all the way

Planning to use the AM cylinder with a 1/2" thick base

Any ignition will work but if you get a 066 cylinder with 200lb of compression and the exhaust at 102-3 you can't start it.
This is the only one I've had like it.

If it's timed good a husky piston won't help.

Back together and ready to cut wood.

 

[Brewz]

It's timed bad, that's why I'm thinking of using one

 

[Brewz]

Ahh yes, I see what you mean

 

[jmssaws]

This is the the saw that will get you everytime

 

[Brewz]

NEXT.......

My 084 with the 1305/6 ? unlimited coil was like that.
Cruel!

My 394/066 hybrid gave me nerve damage in my hands. There's not much that seems to hurt worse than gripping and ripping with all you got and then suddenly you're crippled from your forearm all the way down to your middle fingers. It takes the pain a good minute to peak and start coming back down before you can see straight again.
Don @sawfun watched me do it one of the worst times I've ever done it.

@Manofstihl066
These two are coming home.

More evidence I need to send my 066 to your place for massage therapy

I had to get heavy rubber gloves to start it because I didn't have any skin left on my hand and it hurt bad enough that I couldn't grip.
I know how to start one and never had a problem,been years since I had one get me and I've ported saws every day for a very long time and this saw with a short mount coil is unstartable.
It will get you everytime now if you ain't ready but it's better than before.

Send it my way, wouldn't want you injuring yourself.

The reason my hybrid kicked my ass that day was because I over primed it just short of flooding which made it hydro lock on me.
It's usually an ignition timing thing, but too weak of pop off can cause a hopped up saw to do it too.

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

I'm going to be back inside this 357/272 to replace crank seals and have the av mount welded on to the cylinder. I'm not sure I ever shared this video.

I've been bit by a nasty saw a time or 10. Lol
Some saws are like nasty little dogs. They seems to get cha when you least expect it. Bastids!
