2165 Rebuild

[mdavlee]

Mike- I can send you some bearings Monday morning. I still have leftovers from that huge lot of NOS Nachi bearings I bought a couple years ago. There ended up being 150 new bearings in that bag.

Bearings made it today. I'll be able to do the other 365 case now when I get the gaskets.

You inspired me to dig out my 359/7 hoarding pile and rip into one. Good job mike... It takes a lot to motivate me anymore.

Starter rope broke about the time I had it tuned. [emoji20]

Looking good Mike, Much better than the way it left here.

Yes much better than it was sitting in that tote. Got to get some starter rope tomorrow and I'll be in business.

Rope sounds about like my kinda luck. Lol

I got all the parts in the mail today to finish the 2165 up. If I hadn't had starter cord troubles I'd got a video. I milled 5 slabs and was tired and didn't feel like messing with it any more today.

Looks good Mike.

I got a stihl elastostart handle on it. It was extra and a little bigger than the rope the stihl dealer had on a spool. Tomorrow hopefully I can get it started and tuned completely.

I've got a J'red 670 Super I wanna build. You know much about those Mike??

Basically a 266/268 but with a boot instead of a block and an externally pulsed carb.

So? I can make a runner out of it?

 

[psuiewalsh]

Would that be similar approach as a 272?

Yep. I think the bore to case is better on the 66 and 68 cc in that series.

I don't know the J'reds that well.

It's been staring down from the shelf at me for a year or so.

The 625/630/670 is the same chassis as the 61/162/66/266/268/272. The 670 is a 50mm closed port bore like a 266/268 so I would think the porting would be VERY close.

The 266 I have ran better than a 272 that was here from Bill. Actually both came from Bill. I wouldn't take a 50mm cylinder off it to go to the 272 cylinder.
