What's on your bench?

Certainly it's best if done under factory conditions on a new frame/components, but I'm with the guy in the video. In salt-heavy areas, any kind of cured coating will eventually keep salty water on the steel. Toyota frames that were recalled but passed the 'hammer test' got a black hard coating put on. This coating only made things worse and accelerated decay. Powdercoating does the same thing up here, as soon as a chip happens salt gets in and trapped.

I like fluid film, but it doesn't last the whole season for me. Sprayed-on bar and chain oil, preferably with a trip down a dusty road right afterwards, has proven most effective on non-new surfaces for me.

My squarebody has a very slow power steering leak. It drips just enough to keep the whole underside of my truck oily. When I get it inspected every year, the mechanic always is amazed how little rust is under there.

last spring I got my little 35 year old YZ125J bikesaw to run in reverse crank rotation. Thanks to a new PVL bi-directional analog ignition.
Picture shows today on another diet removing excess alloy pieces. Carbon fiber plates ready for cutting .
She'll end up being the weight of a 3120XP and the size of a 562XP.

Redfin 362 that I try to clean and service monthly.

 

[Czed]

I've worn the grip off most of my 266/268s
They slicky
Bought 2 am half wraps 10.00 for both shipped
Fitment was good bolted right on
Seem well built
I rampaged on them some
No bendy like the huztl stihl wraps. the black one is aftermarket
Someone will ask.

This I want to see.

This I want to see.

Probably will be done by winter as I'm not fully retired yet and still running the tree service solo.

Already got plans and looking at 1983 Honda CR250R parts for a 250 hotsaw build. This is also a right hand ignition engine which will follow my design of my YZ125 saw.
The 1983 CR250R was the predecessor of the CR250R every one loves. The 1983 connecting rod and bearings are the same part # right up to the 2001 model which was the end of the CR250R dynasty.

So I'm just sitting here in my shop chair pondering my next move while I knock off horse flys coming in through the open door with my BUG-A-SALT gun.
Even got a red dot laser sight, Lol.

And just as an FYI you can use the 92-01 crank in the 02-07 motor, the part number may be different but it’s still a swap.

That’s the Chevy chassis protection system, along with a rear main leak, pre 85

Yep. Mine's an '86, so it doesn't have the rear main leak at least.

This weeks project is a 090av, has been sitting for a few years.

Great work Doc. Why aren’t you asleep?

On the actual bench is a Echo Evil Twin (CST 610EVL) that I'm parting out.

Do you still have any parts left? There’s a few I could use.
Thanks

Suck! Looks almost straight gased!

Guy brought in a 029 he said he has owned since first year offered. Saw after wiping the thick layer of dust off. Guy said it has been setting for years now. Well she is ready to go. Was surprised how little I had to do.

Also noticed every fastener on it was loose a bit.

Also I have done some rednecking to the stihl fuel lines in the past to keep guys cutting on a Sunday. But this one was alittle different.

Needs a air filter. Can see through the wire mesh.

I’m waiting on one seal before I can run it. I figured out the number of drive links.

For the weights and measurements crew..lol

Damn...that's a heavy Husky!

 

[Tpagel]

What is going on with this 2260?
My new hose is nothing like the old one and wasn't the one I was after...
This looks more like my purge bulb hose...
Anyone got a part # for the one still in the saw that goes from fuel filter to carb

 

[Onan18]

577 50 41-01 is the updated hose @Tpagel
