Guys putting this 288 together but it looks like I’m short a fuel line. Anybody got one to bring?

A grommet and tygon could get you by till you get one.

Car's all packed -- I'll be at Dan's tomorrow working on the network and then helping w/ setup however I can.
Staying in the area tomorrow night so I can be there at dawn Saturday.

One of my work buddies and his brother-in-law may stop by Saturday to check out what a bunch of saw nuts are into.

I received the plug and clamp from Joe @Onan18 for the unused primer bulb connection on the carb of the 346 I rebuilt. I'll install that tomorrow and ditch my zip tied fuel line rig that will be a much more "finished" setup. Looks like it should work perfectly. Excited to try and open up the muffler on that saw a bit too.

If the live stream gets setup tomorrow (weather not so hot maybe testing will be in the garage only!) I'll send a link for you guys to check it out on YouTube Live!

That's about it.

Saws -- check
Beer -- check
Network in a box -- check
Dyno -- didn't happen. Someday guys -- too many projects, I do NOT want to let this die completely, it will get picked up again, I promise!

 

[Lightning Performance]

You don't need no dyno. Just let these ham-fisted user test it.

I have early 288 grometted fuel lines if needed David. Or as posted, the separate grommet and usual fuel line is good.

Met my logger/buddy at the local gin mill tonight. Promises to bring back the 572 so I'll have it for Sat. Hasn't put much time on it as he's been in the log truck more than the woods. Typo errors are attributed to said stop at gin mill.

I'm bringing some classic American iron. 82 CC grudge match between Homelite XL800 and Mculloch Pro Mac 800. Any of you guys have some good ole home grown saws, then find some room to bring them along.

What freaking page is the 50/90 cc run off listed on and what's the deal with that. I have a nice 550XP but it looks like I need to convert it to 3/8? If the rules are being stretched, I have a strong 154SE, but then it won't be much of a contest. LOL

If there was a 70cc class I'd run that Stihl I can't identify. I know they have "Magnums" and "Supers", but did they have something with an " L" or "C" in it? Decal is not complete. Counting on Jeff to sort this out cause ......."I'm not a Stihl guy."

Stretch the rules Bob! This is all for fun. And I think the 154 fits in nicely anyhow...
We might do 70cc too, why not...

 

[paragonbuilder]

Just finished shopping

 

[wcorey]

50 90cc shootout most likely will be very informal, run what ya brung and rules/classes will be created on the spot around what shows up.
The one decision that got made in some thread somewhere is that we'll run off the roll 3/8 cause thats what real saws run or something.
Whatever you got, bring it on, we can fit a 54-56cc class in I'm sure.

 

[wcorey]

Yes to 70cc, I'll be bringing something for that too...

 

[Lee H]

14 saws ready @ 1549cc's. Might find room for another. I'll be arriving in a
van this trip since my new truck is at the dealer for a new motor. That's a
whole nuther story.
Brandy will be busy tomorrow with other fixins for eats.
