026 Build for “A Dirty Old Feta”

[Fruecrue]

Thanks fellas. Hoping to put it in wood on Monday.

You don’t need a clutch bearing at full throttle.

Nice touch Dan!

Did you paint or dye the covers.

Btw. Looking good, and happy waiting for the vid.

Lol. One of the 026's I bought and used for parts on this build was no kidding running without one.

Only chewed a small layer of crank off and ate the oil pump.

Thanks Tom. I'm liking it. Sounds mean too.

I dyed with black clothing dye. Got the idea from a couple of fellas on the site. @huskihl

If you think about doing it the water has to be pretty darn hot. Basically a low boil.

A little vinegar or salt added to the pot helps set the color in the plastic as well.

EDIT: yes, vids to come.

I've never added anything but dye. If it simmers for 2 hours it'll go maybe 1/3 of the way through from each side. I'd bet at 3 or 4 hours it'll be one solid color. I do it on the turkey fryer in the garage. Once it barely starts to boil I turn it down. I slightly melted the 1st piece I tried with the flame too high. It just needs to be steaming a little

I wanna do a set of plastics up in Chromaluma!

 

[Stihlms]

IDK but if you stare at it, the recess where the bar nuts go, stands up and the word stihl recesses down in. Yes I’m sober as a church mouse lol

Funny you say that, first thing I noticed.

 

[qurotro]

Want to hear it scream!

This saw is using an 044 intake boot. Throttle response with the 194 carb should be ok, but not like with the smaller boot.

This is another dual purpose build. An 044 carb can be swapped in and the saw can be turned up for fun.

This is my own 024 with a 44mm P&C and an 044 carb/boot

Yikes!!!

To each their own. I personally absolutely love the screamin’ demon type of saw. Also very fond of firewood less than 8 inches in diameter. Same fire with less back pain...

 

[RI Chevy]

Lol. I hear you.
Dan and I were at a GTG. He tuned my MOFO 026 to right where it was on the edge. We looked at each other 2 stroking at 16600. [emoji106]
I generally run it at 14700 or so. I err on the fat side. Lol

Awesome thread guys
Going to have to try that dye trick on the 462 ALFAO1 sent me

We an't got a 2x like button. If we did I’d like to push this button twice...or 5x

A saw with xtra XTRA MOFO

What’s not to like about that...

 

[RI Chevy]

Just a Stihl MOFO 026 running at 15143 RPMs. Still room for more.
