What's on your bench?

[Cut4fun]

It looks like your in a metal building like me. So I have one of these above the bench View attachment 103684That one heat lamp helps tremendously while my gas and kerosene heater are warming up.

I even have a heated floor mat to stand on and a same heated bench cover.
Just havent used them this year but should be.

Niiice...the ole’ Tim Allen edition!!

I've had so many of these dang TA's I have lost count.
I just get them into collectors hands.

Raise metering lever height

What is the popoff pressure ?

How much do you think it’ll take?

Is it flush with the base right now? If not raise it till it is. Does that saw have the felt filter in the tank? I had trouble with that on my 1110.

365 I’m building from leftover parts from all the swapping/trading and a nice fellow from Alabama that gifted a parts saw @ranchdadmike Piston is most important purchase I gotta make for this one What do y’all think about the tecomec pistons. I’ve looked at meteor but saw the tecomec on HLS last night. Thoughts?!???!

I really like Meteor but Tecomec is known to build a good product. The 242 XP kits they had were nearly as good as OEM.

Some of the threads I’ve read in the past mentioned some using Tecomec pistons and such. And they’re 20$ cheaper. I’m trying to make my mind up

 

[czar800]

Well there’s your sign... yesterday it was popping off at 14 and today it won’t...

 

[Moparmyway]

I set popoff at or a little above 20

I’d get to the bottom of the problem with the popoff going way too high.

Put both of them heated mats on the floor today.


All fixed and running new lines with echo oem and poulan fuel filter. Had a dang stihl weedeater filter in it. :laugh:

Like new witness lines on piston ext int. 137 carb, 3 shoe, front exit muffler

Found 3 other minor parts missing I had on hand.

If you're building it for yourself you can always try it and see how it holds up. You'll likely get your money's worth out of it at least.

Yes sir it’s mine. I just don’t wanna ruin a perfect cylinder with a lesser quality piston

PS. I usually only sell the stihls lol

Understood. I normally only run meteor or oem in my stuff. I also keep some backup parts in case of a major catastrophe. Lol

I do have a farmertec big bore coming to play around with on one of my 372's. Just wanna see how they run.

I changed the spring and got poppoff adjusted to 11-12ish and the saw starts and is running good!

What gives with 30+ psi and not popping off? It was 14psi Multiple times a day before..

Anyway thanks for the tips,

I believe it was a farmertec brand I put on a friends 570 “branded as a Redmax “ about two years ago and it’s running fine still. Gets used quite often also

That looks brandy new!

Pretty saw, was not even aware of that model. What are the specs?

Which saw are you referring to Mike? Surely not the 288
