Brewz Saw Builds

[MustangMike]

I believe my nephew (MechaicMatt) put a closed port 55 cylinder to replace the open port 50, and it ran real well (for what it is worth). don't know what head aches were involved with doing it.

forgot to ask what year your saw is from.

thanks, I had to read a bit in their IPL's.
According their info the first 50 had # 505 31 72 23, it was fastly swapped out to # 503 10 49 02, the last part is still avaible.
Its the same gear as they used on 40/45/49/50/51/55 and also on JRed 2041/2045/2050.
I have not study the two 50/55 that I got, but both of them should have the new type gear, would not surprise me if its a plastic gear

I think @Mattyo has tool he made from a pipe coupler he uses for pulling off the gear. I saw him use it on a 55. I'm not sure if it would work for brews saw or not.

Nice Matt! I missed seeing you do that at the GTG!

you probleby right that the same gear puller can be used on most of those Huskies/JReds, I use one type puller on 42/242 and 254/262.
I've been so lucky that I can borrow the tool from my JRed dealer thats why I never made one.

 

[Brewz]

My local husky dealer/repair shop is closed for the Xmas break but I am going to ask if they have a puller on Monday before I go too crazy on it

 

[Postrip]

I won't guarantee it, but I may have a puller for the worm gear.
If I do , u can borrow it, take a day or 2 to get there I guess.

That would be awesome mate.
Let me know!

 

[Postrip]

Let me know!

Pretty sure this is the 1!
If you have no luck at the husky dealer, or you just want 2 borrow this 1, PM me your details & I'll send it down.

 

[Brewz]

That looks like it!

Had a mate come round today with a boot load of saws to fix
He owns a tree service business.
He turned up with:

MS661: snapped screw in lower spike mount and running like crap. Fixed screw, cleaned it up and found he mixes some over priced oil at "I just pour heaps in:1". Dumped fuel and mixed some up at 40:1 for it. It started off running pig rich then after a bit of revving leaned out and sounded a lot better. He admitted he doesn't have time to mix accurate mix for it so is going to sell it and just run 660's

Chinese MS660: He paid $200 for it and it would not start or run. I found it had a stripped nut that holds down the carb. Fixed and still wouldnt start. I stripped the carb and it was dry so not drawing up fuel. Pulled the tank and checked the impulse line, stripped the carb and ran it through the ultrasonic cleaner for 10 min, put it all back together and off it went. tunes it 13K and runs great!

MS660 council auction saw: Almost new. checked, tuned and is awesome!

066 flat top: all original saw, unlimited coil, he has left it here to be lightly ported , muffler mod and made to go better

MS660: more snapped screws repaired, loose bar mounts repaired and tune

MS460: Stuffed clutch side case half which is almost completely rotted away from palm trees. Going to replace the case half and check the AM 460 top end out.

3120: left here for repair to a loose muffler, running issues and light porting as he "wants to know he is holding it" and I can do that!

Oleo Mac 999: JHC its big and heavy, like Stihl 090 heavy, 110cc or there about. Brand new, never cut timber. It didnt want to run properly no matter what I did with the tune so off came the carb limiters and we got it running nice at 12K. Its a beast of a saw.

Also fixed a couple little stihl top handle saws.

Was a busy afternoon and now I have a 3120 and an 066 flat top to port

so you,ve had an easy day then hahaha

 

[Brewz]

I am really looking forward to getting into this flat top 066.
I picked it up and smiled and gave it a hug.
He recons it goes harder than any of the 660's
Cant wait to see that the timing is on the jug. Its a Mahle top end.

 

[Brewz]

so you,ve had an easy day then hahaha

mate it was 9 hrs of work, barked knuckles, a couple band aids to stop the bleeding, several beers and cans of JD each and the job was done.
I had to call it a day as it got dark and someone would have called the cops if I started another saw to tune haha

 

[Brewz]

The fun part was when he told me that was just a few of them
