What's on your bench?

Ms170 for sawfest…maybe. I’m not going to go wild with it because I might like it for a handy camping and house saw.

Finally finished all the saws that I've been working on, so I'm catching up on some bearing maintenance on one of my motos. It's preemptive, so the linkage and swingarm bearings will be fine with just a topping off of Bel Ray marine grease.

So long since I rode my TE250 the grease will be clay.

See how the cylinder looks after 40 years / definitely needs a H444SG fuel line.

A tiny scratch on the piston and muffler was gone and the saw was lying on a pile of scrap / above 10 bar compression

Two sets of 7.3 IDI diesel cylinder heads on the bench this weekend -- checking valve guide clearance. Some good news, some not so good...

Is ther 2 different fuel lines for the 034?
The fuel line in it just hangs. Dont even reach the bottom.

I lost the third finger part for my release and when it fell out and so did the pin. Dont have a lathe to make a new pin so next best is the drill press and files. Not the best but it worked. Now got to get used to the 4 finger mode till the parts come in.

i wonder what it is

Blades from a weed-eater are sharpened with a round file like a chain on a chainsaw?

No pic. Stihl 026 was leaking fuel @ the tank vent.
This one has the duckbill vent. Got a new vent.
Went to install it, the hole in the tank is not flat on the outside of the hole where the vent would go in and seal.
Its also quite thin,, kinda deformed from new.
Put some fuel proof permatex on the vent edge and installed it, not much else you could do.
Same saw was leaking bar oil,, from the bar oil hose where it goes into the tank. Owner said it did it from new.
I dont think the hose was installed all the way in,, I removed it and reinstalled it and the leak stopped.
It was draining the entire tank B4.
Maybe a Monday saw.

H14" electrolysis and Stihl chain cannot be removed from the bar

You could soak in vinegar as well.

Will vinegar remove rust? Is it just loosening , I have never tried

Yes, it does.

Another good one is a 50/50 mix of acetone and ATF.

Some gentle heat might move things along.

White vinegar will remove rust in a hurry!
It eats soft metal though.

I have an Olympyk 999 on my bench. 101cc and a big ole block of a saw. Needs a piston, carb kit and fuel lines. Has good spark, so hopefully we’ll get the old girl running again.
