Brewz Saw Builds

[Brewz]

I got one to do soon as the piston gets here
Don't know what carb is on it,forgot to look

The carb is not a big issue
The limited coils kill the revs at 090 speeds

What coil does it have?

@VinceGU05 how did you get on with the 066 coil mounting?

 

[jmssaws]

It's a limited coil I'm sure.
It's got a extra box thing and all of it looks unfamiliar.

The one I had wasn't limited so what has to be done to put a regular coil on it?

 

[Brewz]

It may be unlimited
The first run of coils were unlimited with a seperate ignition module

See info in Keith's post

1124-400-1305 Unlimited Ignition Module which requires the Trigger 1118 400 1001 (First Production)

1124-400-1306 Limited Ignition Module (Second Production)

1124-400-1308 Unlimited Ignition Module (Third Production)

As for mounting the 066 coil, I believe @Iron.and.bark has done it and @VinceGU05 was working on it.
I would love to know what they did as mounting options

[mdavlee]

I seen those. Wonder how it looks after it gets hot

 

[VinceGU05]

Why didn't I think of that !!!
I would anodize it black. For and longevity

 

[VinceGU05]

Ok. Just for you Brewz. I took some pics.

So this is how a 660 coil sits in there.

Turned these up at work.

Made a bridge out of some flat. And screwed it down.

Because the difference in the flywheel diameter, it needs to be tickled a tad on the ends. I just used a parallel burr.

 

[MustangMike]

Very creative, BUT DOES IT RUN!!!!

 

[huskihl]

Yeah. They run. I did it last winter. Gotta switch key slots in the fw though or you'll lose a finger. Tree guy uses it a couple times every week

 

[VinceGU05]

It ran with one screw holding it on.

 

[Brewz]

Fantastic mate!

The 088 I got with the 084 is a bit rough but runs.

I have decided to keep it and make it mechanically sound to be the red headed step child that lives on the mill.

That way I can hack, modify and dodge it up so it suits the roll and not worry about how it looks.

I took the cylinder off for a look inside and found this



The cylinder is fine so must be a replacement.

I am going to fit the piston from my CP 084 kit to get it running and make a thin gasket to lower the squish .010
Minor muffler mod and new crank seals and that will do it.

I don't think it's worth grinding on it for milling

 

[Brewz]

now you just have to find a log big enough to justify using it!

 

[Brewz]

Ok
Next saw to do a build on is this rubbish dump find Husky 50 Rancher.
Still has the original Oregon bar and a peek in the motor tells me its done little work.
It looks like it was used for a while and has sat in the corner of a shed or garage for the last decade or 2 until it was thrown out.

I am after a 2nd rear tank handle insert as one is missing. If anyone has a spare one please let me know.







I just gave the top cover a clean and it come up nice



Parts appear easy to get so I will give it a full rebuild, mild porting, muffler mod, sand back and polish up the original bar and fit a new chain.
It should also respond well to a good muffler mod. Check out the little openings.

 

[Brewz]

This was the cleanest part of the saw once I started to dig



Piston and cylinder are near perfect.
There is some serious restriction in the intake tract which I will do some work on.

A question for folks who have stripped one of these before, how do you get the worm gear off the crank shaft?
It's on there pretty good!
@Tor R ?

 

[Brewz]

Well, a bit of research tells me I need a special puller tool to remove the worm gear, which will likely cost me more than the saw is worth.
I am thinking I will carefully use heat and replace it or slot it carefully to break it off and replace it.

I've never had one 50.
Shoot a picture please

 

[Brewz]

I tried heat but it wouldn't budge

 

[Brewz]

Just if people are interested, the cylinder:
@drf256 may be interested in the small chamber on this saw with identical specs as the Stihl 026





The carbon buildup on the band was touching the piston and the piston does have some wear so I will get a meteor and replace all bearings

But I can't do much till I get that reached worm gear off.

The dremel will sort it!
