What's on your bench?

[Cut4fun]

I was curious on the 390 weight to see if they are closer now to the 16.1 shown. Since they showed 15.6 before.

385 shows 16 7.3 and somebody weighed a 390 but dont know what scale used for it 16 3

But have noticed last few years husky has been little more truthful with weights. Not like in the past.

Guy stopped buy yesterday to take a look and make a deal on my 056. He saw my big box of 041s and asked if I repaired saws. I told him no, I kind of work on them in a therapeutic sense. He asked if I will look at a saw he has that quit running. Sure, why not. (He is a fellow ad Marine and pretty good guy). Pulls out a very old Homelite XL12. Said it was given to him by a buddy he went to visit after a deployment.

I tore it down as far as I could without having to replace any seals or gaskets, cleaned it up. Has ridiculous compression, popped off the exhaust and the cyl in gorgeous-still has factory machine marks on piston. Ended up having to make a couple new wires out of some kevlar coated wires I have, cleaned and reset points, rework the spark plug wire and will finish it up today. Hopefully it runs well.

That was 60dl 3/8, you could run 325, but why if racing

Cannon make you anything you want if you cough up enough. Cliff had these made for $200 with wide tail mount for big gears.

Well, I was wrong. After a thorough cleaning I found it is a Super XL12. Got it running but it breaks up horribly anywhere above an idle. At first I thought it was a fuel issue so I re-worked the fuel delivery lines. Still breaks up. So going to go back theough the electronics. Hopefully its not the pickup as that looks to be a very difficult to locate part.

 

[Mag Craft]

I would try the points. Check the gap to make sure they are correct.

 

[usmcbuckwild]

Well, went through and reset everything. Took the pickup apart, cleaned it all up, re-soldered every connection, cut down sparkplug wire about 3/8” and and ensured proper connection. Disassembled the points, cleaned it all again, reset points again, added a touch of “liquid electrical tape” anywhere the wires/connections might touch the case. Had the flywheel on and off about 10 times and the flywheel nut was a little hincky so I got a new one (3/8-24 for those wondering).
Fired right up on 3rd pull. Revved right up. I didn’t have a chance to really test it out.

Curiosity: can I advance the timing just a touch? It really feels like there is power left to be harnessed.

 

[Mag Craft]

Yes you can advance the timing. But only go a couple of degrees.

If you go to far on the timing it will start kicking back when you pull the rope.
