Is it okay if I enter class 1 and then spank all the 2 & 3 saws also? There's this splitfire spark plug dohicky that's my secert weapon. Don't tell anyone though, it's a secert ya know. I'm bringing a super special powersharp for class 3, modified to touch up the chain the entire cut.

I'm sure since there will be lots of build threads, that all the little issues with the kits will get covered well. So yeah.......I hope you guys grab a kit and have some fun with it too.

We can have a dead stock class as well at the GTG, but to keep this as simple as possible, lets worry about that at the GTG.
Well then add me to the list and send me the secret handshake. I may only qualify for the "dead" stock class and dead last in it but it'll be educational.

She had another bout with pneumonia again last week, no hospital stay this time we caught it early enough to clear up at home. They been running me ragged at work, had a few guys on vacation for the last 10 days.

Family first Jon. I hope she sails on through the rest of the winter without issue.

She's doing well now, finishing up her antibiotics in the next day or two. I'm really hoping we are done fighting this for the winter. Time will tell, she's tough.

Now about these saws, I've been wanting to order a kit 660 for a while. So this is the perfect opportunity, except the Stihls are starting to creep back in. I purged all those suckers out of the shop once before...

I know nothing about this, but I am interested... And that has not happened in a while. Can I get the scoop?

Here it is gents. Lots of guys want to get in on this just for the fun of it.

Class 1

This class is for guys that don't want to do any machine work. Three cylinder options are available for this class. You can use either the FarmerTec , the Hyway, or the Cross top end. You are allowed to use any aftermarket rings......OEM rings are not allowed. You can use any circlips, or wrist pin bearings you deem necessary.....AM or OEM. You must use the piston, and the wrist pin that matches the cylinder that you choose. If you use a FarmerTec jug......then you have to use the FarmerTec piston as well. You can use any gaskets or seals that you choose......AM or OEM. OEM fuel lines and filters are legal. All other rubber bits (intake, impulse, etc) must be AM. You must use the AM carb that comes with the kit. The carb must be the one that came with the kit (we might make an allowance here if your carb is complete crap. If that is the case, you must make note of that in your build thread, and then only another AM carb that is a replacement 1122 series carb can be used). The kit muffler and cover must be used. You can mod the muffler any way you see fit, except to create a tuned expansion chamber type of unit. The bearing and crank that come with the kit must be used. The oil pump can be modified to increase flow, and the worm gear can be AM or OEM. The coil and flywheel must be AM. Recoil parts can be changed to OEM with the exception of the cover. Starter rope, and handle can be OEM or AM. No machine work of any kind is legal in this class. No sanding, milling, filing, lathe work, non, nada. Base gaskets can be AM or OEM or homemade or non-existent. No external transfer ports can be used. No finger ports or bridge porting allowed. Working choke is required. Airfilter must be from the kit, or the white AM HD2 style replacement. No MaxFlow setups allowed. Air filter cover must be installed. No modifications can be made to the covers. Chain and fuel will be supplied at the event. I reserve the right to add to these rules if I forgot something, but the meat and potatoes will not change.

Edit: Carb mods in Class 1 will be limited to spring and jet changes. Jet meaning if you gotta drill a welch plug or whatever to get it working good then that's ok. Just no boring the carb throat or venturi.

Now.......what did I forget?

Ok...I have a saw I did for a video...not really broken in. Has a hyway top end. Everything else from farmertec, and Now a muffler mod. Cylinder has not been touched other than to install it...what class? :)
