Cannot find the RPM - 026

[Jimmy in NC]

Like I said earlier, don`t ruin a new or good piston running in that beat cylinder.

Kind of my thoughts too... yes it would be interesting to run.. but I do not have time to build another bottom end if bits of steel come loose and go bouncing around.

A couple of boxes arrived Monday. I have better bits to build with! Included were an OEM filter, crank, and some OEM 44mm jugs!

Life is super busy though right now at home and work. I may get some time this weekend but I also have a kit 660 to put together too. It may get priority as boxes of parts do not store as well as an assembled saw...they are also harder to sell if someone needs a saw.

Do I hear a grinder running?

Not yet...long days at work right now.

I might have missed it, but are you getting any machine work done on this project?

Not yet...long days at work right now.

Long trips time wise to and from work I heard. No rush anyway, its not like you actually have a need for that particular saw..

What got back on my bench?

After making this video I cleaned up the piston and cylinder (wiped them down) and the wear was in my opinion very acceptable. Not OEM but for the price paid and good oil it would have been a fine firewood saw.

I am hunting for the lost RPMs though....

Put the farm boss on it and don’t worry it’ll run fine

Did you swap an oem jug onto it yet? Your rpm’s may be hidden in it.

Patience.. been 8 months since I touched this saw....no need to rush it.

It's on it isn't it?

Find a Magnum sticker for it, done! I could send you down an experimental cylinder that would certainly increase the RPM.

Stickers?! Noted!

If a Magnum stickers helps would an XP also help?

Will snap crank, did you upgrade it?

An XP sticker would cause it to run in reverse!

It was.

I put some Amsoil special sauce on it in a bag and let it sit over a week for it to soak in.

So flip the bar over or the camera?

Flip the rim drive over and reverse fit the chain, they cut gooder that way. Magnum sticker still a better option.

OEM cylinders are rounder, you still have some don`t cha?
