Any one have a decent stock OEM 460 cylinder theyd be willing to part ways with?

Ahh the joys of my life being I wash crank cases in the kitchen sink and depending on seneiro, fuel tanks in the bathtub.....( I'm so lonely 🤣) Anyways lol Hot water and super clean work great at cleaning any oil off case halves if I decide to go the oven route.. There i fixed it for you! There...

I never did say there was actually anything wrong with them. It's just In my mind plastic+ something that spins as fast as it does +the heat from combustion just doesn't seem right. Granted there is peek which if I'm not mistaken is a insulator for high voltage lines as well as insulator for a...

Ive got one of those industrial chemical spray bottles from Lowes that I keep full of either lucus 2 stroke or something of similar price for quickly cooling things down No damnit.... 😂 Idk Im just not a fan of nylon cages. Stihls Pto being primarily proprietary drives me up a wall as is...

Well if my 3 time doctorate's degree in sheet luck has taught me anything of use is. Anxiety! I fear I'll end up applying my extensive research into someone else's saw.. the heat is the only big thing I fear when it comes to working on saws

So the question is could you use moto seal on the outside race of a bearing as you install the bearing into the case? As a means of "lubricant".plus seal any possible scratches along the way. I've noticed when I install a crank seal with moto seal on it it slides in easier. Or would moto seal...

Okay the guy finally gave me what was needed. I know my attitude about it was *s-word. I am sorry. that's not seriously how I treat my customers. I mean I about bought another saw same model to use as a testing plate form Another prime example but also insane thing I have done for one of my...

Well the guy ended up having a slight change of heart and brought me the freaking case and crank.... No rear handle/ fuel tank or the carburetor..... Ughhhh. He isn't making this easy.... I'd like to be able to test the freaking thing and seat the rings.... . This is where my frustration comes...

I figured as much. I would have been shocked if a 130?? 140$ saw came with a good carburetor.

Why should I care. He came to me wanting it done. I explained everything to him yet he didn't want to listen. I have given him opportunity to change his mind. I'm not going to turn him away. Ive got empty pockets and a empty stomach. Plus I'm far from being a professional. My prices are low as...

Idk I told him that. I held up my timing wheel and said I can't get readings without the case, crank and piston. I'm just gonna widen the exhaust by a very small amount and widen the lowers then smooth things out without changing timing. I'll smooth out the transfer doors where the mold left...

I had a feeling it was a clone.... Dude brought it to me and said port it. I said ok but just because you brought me a cylinder alone doesn't change my price and I can't guarantee that it's going to improve by Alot. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I started to think it wasn't a real one because, no where on it is a...

Ummm???? I said hold up! Wait a minute! Something ain't right! how do be Stratto ports receive air?

For how cheap they are, they can be pretty cool little saws. Swap out the intake boot with at lease a hyway viton and if your knowledgeable enough mod a 1128 series Carburetor to run it. I've had luck with the hilic "hd14" if you want to keep it as a complete aftermarket saw and on the cheap...
