What's going down on Saturday?

Where do the fuel tank connect to the carb? Can’t see a hose.[emoji848]

It have a ‘secret handshake’?

CT GTG

More like a 'secret elbow' on the 056 fuel line connection to the carb...

​

Got one here in a box I'll look at, too. It's a weird setup. Have an ancient shop manual that may shed some light. Pretty sure that elbow routes into the manifold bulkhead somehow and delivers fuel to the carb where the impulse passage would normally be. The impulse hose itself is pretty obvious. Let me dig around a bit...

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

Basically no fuel line to the carb, just a passage from the tank through the intake bulkhead.

​

​

If you need to remove the tank/airbox, (once the handle is out of the way), the a/v mount above the oil cap with the kill switch wire can be a mystery if all the rubber around it is still in place. It's threaded in to the case and does unscrew with a pair of channel locks . The other side comes loose from the center a/v mount screw.

OK. It’s kind of like the Remy SL-11 Tilly HS has a passage in the front face of the carb. [emoji106]

026 with .325” x 16”.

7 tooth or 8 tooth?

Needs a new rim but it had a 20” on it. Going down to 16”. [emoji106]

 

[RI Chevy]

You working it or cutting cants?

Anybody got one of these mugs yet. They sure are cool but not enough to spend 50 bucks to my door. Mabe they will get them at the dealer soon.

Just found this thread. Here's my humble collection of Stihl saws. All ported.

Nice three saw plan!

Work saw.

With my ported mofo 026 I use .325 8 pin with 16 and 18" bar. With my stock 026 I use .325 7 pin with 16 and 18" bars.
I use a 16" 3/8 bar and chain with my ported 026, but only have a 7 pin that fits the small Stihl spline. I NEED to find an 8 pin for the small spline.
BUT, I do have an Oregon setup with both 7 and 8 pin. [emoji6]

Yep. Good combination!

18, 325, 7. stock, ex muff.

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

An 026 is already a fast saw stock. I also find the above setup pretty much optimum for a woodpile saw.
