Is the 365 Hooskie special all stock?

 

[huskyboy]

Taking apart the 365 Special. Piston still has lines on it. Have an OEM ring on the way.

Squish is .023-.024 without the base gasket. View attachment 127765View attachment 127766View attachment 127767

That’s a 50mm 372 jug most likely....50zk? I would measure that bore.

 

[Backtroller]

Mdavlee told me that all 365 and 372 jugs have 50z on them. I measured it at 48mm.

Piston was like 1.882” = 47.80....
I questioned that too when I saw that.

Then fixed the spark plug boot on my sons saw after he ripped it off trying to get plug out for some reason. They sure dont give you any extra wire. Had to pull the darn top cover off which is a pain on the 250.

Never thought of using golf tees for that.

'Bout as redneck as it gets..., especially if you just found a few somewhere and didn't know what they were.

Cool. I use little screws.

With 3 benches going, golf tees on each one would be handy. Since there is 2 golf bags in there already I know where to get some.

Golf tees are handy tools.

Waiting on a carb kit for a 365 . Carb is cleaned.
2 new china carbs for a couple of wild things that are living on the floor.
And in the center of all that stuff on the bench is a new to me Stihl 361 with a MOFO Saw works sticker on it.
All it needs is fuel, oil and to introduced to the 30" oak trunk in the backyard.
We all know what is going to be done first this afternoon.

Darn. I was getting hopeful for you that it was the larger P/C. Lol

Not on the bench but i was unfortunate enough to have to work on an old York a/c-air handler combo unit today. Was helping out a homeowner with repairing the shody workmanship of the clown who built the housing connecting the unit to the house. The housing covers the main ducts that feed the house and the return. When the housing was built they simply slapped some silicone against the brick and stuck the sheet metal to it: no screws, bolts or nails! So used a hammer drill and some tapcons, was installing the last self tapper BACK INTO THE EXISTING HOLE and i get the dreaded whoosh of refrigerant. Homeowner gets back home (was picking up their son from the airport as today is his birthday and they are having a party at the house tonight) and I tell him what happened. And, because its an OLD unit it runs R22, which is stupid expensive. And a huge thunderstorm rolls in and starts dumping rain and hail.

A/C guy shows up around 1530, it takes us an hour and 45 minutes to braze the tiny hole after I took back apart everything I worked to fix all morning.

Emergency response: $275
6lbs, 12 oz of R22 @ $92 a lb: $621
3 hours @ $95 an hour: $285
Consumable and testing: $175

$1,356 total.

Got it all back together and running about 15 minutes before guests arrived.

Turns out homeowner is friends with the owner of A/C company and he cut them a HUGE break on the bill. I still feel like a complete azzhat even though they insisted it wasn’t my fault.

No I’m cool with it being a real 365 special. That’s why I wanted it.

Who knows, I might build a saw for a 4 cube class. Keep it 65cc. I have a 2166 that Ill grind the transfer covers and have a 372

365 closed port are sporty with a 20” bar. The xtorq will probably outpull it with a longer bar.

Just got the new bar for a Doc Al 036 I got last week.
I hope to run it next week

Your gonna like that Travis! [emoji106]

Doc can build a strong saw.
Put a 361 that he built to wood yesterday.
I am still smiling today.

Use it next week?
You need to be wandering the neighborhood looking for something to cut now.
