Stop feeding them.

They get hungry.

 

[RI Chevy]

Yup. Make them earn their keep.

LOL mice guts and pieces everywhere outside. Just not the right ones.

Just part of living in the middle of the bean fields.

Maybe but I like it. I might just copy it.

Well it worked it could use some more modifying but worked pretty good for my first attempt at build one of these
Maybe if it was built out of a different kind of steel or something. The fingers would try to bend if I put to much pressure on them.

Did you try it using a small impact driver? The added chatter might be enough to free up a little bit

No I didn't I just put a little heat to it but next thing I will do it is self a nut to the end so I can put a impact on it

That’s a wj71 from a 394xp in there. Borrowed a top plate from a rwj xtorq carb to convert it to top impulse. Took some work but it all fits. It’s a beat up work saw with a am topend. I did some modding to it. We’ll see how it runs with this setup vs stock carb.

Did you try the rwj?

Yeah, on a ported 385 and a 395 one time, it ran ok but more fussy to tune than the stock carb. Didn’t notice a whole lot of difference but I didn’t time the cuts between the two. Im guessing the 394 carb should supply the most fuel.

I’m not at the level of some of you guys just experimenting for sure

I guess I haven't seen as much improvement using them on a stock saw. They do seem to help once ported.
It is a little weird having the H screw out 2.5 - 3 turns.

I bet on a ported 372 they make a good difference

Anyone have a husky case splitter or another tool I can use to split a dolmar case? Im hoping to not have to buy one.

ETA: I HAVE ONE ON THE WAY

You just need heat. A puller is convienient, but heating a case up t0 325/350 after removing the pins and bolts is really all you need. Then wack the crank with a piece of wood/brass/nylon hammer and the case will literally fall apart.

Then a 2 jaw or bearing puller will remove the bearings from the crank.

If you are 3 turns out you probably need to lower the pop off pressure or raise the metering arm (which will lower the pop off about 1-2psi) to open the needle further.

I don't want to chance damage and I have never split a case like that. But I got splitter on the way so I'm good either way.

Honda chainsaw. Needed a new connecting rod, governor gear and adjusted. Ugly outside, clean inside.

 

[Moparmyway]

When I thin shafts on a carb I use red on the shutter screw. That’s the only one.
Only 1 or 2 threads left normally

That is one place where I probably would also use the stronger stuff .............. but only if its thinned like you're doing

That MUST be one heavy chainsaw, cast iron flywheel and all ......... valves for a 4 stroke, you sure that aint for something other than a chainsaw ?

Great day. 1 dead mouse and 1 2100 thin ring saw lives again to cut another day.

2 more 2101 2100 to go and how many mice no clue.
