I just noticed the title of this thread says "Fundraiser", and I thought this was a "Funraiser"...
Anyhow, here's my raffle-daffle contribution - This saw has quite a history. It's an Efco MT-8200 and runs pretty good.
It was a local buy for a member as a project, who then decided it was too much for him, so he sold it to another member. That member then decided he didn't
have time for it, so he traded it to me. I tore it down to the crank after discovering that the crank had spun inside the inner races of the OEM bearings. It then
had an air leak between the crank stub shafts and the bearings.
I fully rebuilt it with new Nachi bearings, Husqvarna seals, a hand-cut crankcase gasket, new Meteor 064 piston and rings, new hand-cut base gasket, new fuel
system, new rim sprocket, new chain tensioner, new kill-switch wire, a lot of new hardware, and new guts for the starter. It's all stock except for the 064 piston
and rings and the carburetor - the carburetor is a WJ-69 from a later Stihl 066. The stock carb for these is a Walbro WJ-121 and the carb that came with the
saw is junk. So I had to modify the 066 carburetor to work and runs pretty good with it.
If a guy wanted to turn this up - a muffler mod, timing advance, and a little shaving of the piston skirts would be good first steps (the 064 piston dimensions are
almost identical to the stock piston but the skirts are about 2mm longer). It's a bit dirty now and has some dust on it but I'll give it a polish before sending it out.
