Credit where it is due in Dave's 064 Pipe Saw Mystery

[Definitive Dave]

idiotwithasaw, al smith and chainsaw jim all thought it might be a bad recoil, but I am too stubborn to listen to good advice sometimes.
I added a new .0020 base gasket and was all prepared to pull this saw to stellar heights and instead I couldn't pull it up to even 100psi any more.

Ok so I pulled Ugly Betty down from her perch and robbed her recoil assembly cause I know it works fine.

Lo and behold I can pull the pipe saw. It has a little compression left even after the gasket

I'm gonna stick a stock carb and muffler on it and give it a try tomorrow.

After I get it stuck all back together I am tempted to see what it is like without the extra gasket
sorry for the short update but I am making progress

Nice, without the gasket you could run some Nitro through it with all that compression.

 

[mdavlee]

That's enough for methanol and 20% nitro at least.

 

[jake wells]

you could almost run diesel in it lol.

 

[idiotwithasaw]

Dang, what is the squish with the gasket now? And I'm glad we were able to help, it's what we are here for.

At that comp 100% alky would be good....but add any nitro it might not shut off....looking forward to a vid of it!

Years ago I had an 044 that would not shut off on 10% nitro. Luckily I was running an 084 carburetor and had left the choke in, so you could kill it that way.

 

[thomas1]

You used the choke to kill it?


Just like the kittens, eh?

Kittens? I thought it was the chicken?

Kittens? I thought it was the chicken?

JJ uses the kittens as crank stuffers .

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

[Definitive Dave]

Dave you really gotta remove the draw bar/hitch ball when you're not towing.
I know it's a pain, but not as painful as finding it with your shin.

Either that or you've been kickin alotta ass lately. Pipe saw vid uploading yet?

 

[junkman]

I bet the precious is sitting on the mantle of the study's fireplace .

 

[jmssaws]

I've offered to get the pipe 064 lined out free of charge but it didn't work,I'll get my paws on it yet.

 

[bikemike]

Need a vid of the piped saw in action.

I bet the precious is sitting on the mantle of the study's fireplace .

Yep! And he's sitting there thinking about putting fuel in it..... My bad he's just thinking about what's for lunch!
