Husqvarna 2100 thread

Never considered doing that. Should work well and there are different gauge spokes to choose from. Brazing rod is a little on the thick side.

At the recommendation of others here, I just got a pack off of Amazon and once I heat treated it, then it stood up to the trigger/choke lever action without bending.

Hello,
I wonder how would the 2100 or 298 compare with bigger modern saw like 880 or 3120xp with long bars. Could it stand a chance even if surely much slower?

Ok gents, I have two different H136 carbs for my 2100. H136c and H136J. The j variant does not seem to have the bronze screw for the governor that the c variant has. They look pretty much the same aside from that. Thoughts on the differences?

I can’t speak to the 880 because I have never run one. In my opinion, if you are talking 60”+ bars, the 2100 wouldn’t come close to the 3120 in oiling or grunt. With 36-42” bars, I’m not sure there would be a huge difference. The 2100 would most likely still be slower unless it has been worked over a bit.

If one doesn’t have the screw, I wonder if it isn’t governed

I always consider 394 replace the 2100. The 3120 is just another ballgame.

Those "rattle ball " carbs were used on a lot of older large displacement chainsaws .I think the idea was to stop them from self disscruction from over reving . You can defeat the rattle ball with a slug of gasket material under the brass plug . I think on my 2100 I replaced the carb and on two Partner p-100's one I defeated and one I let rattle . If that made a difference I can't remember .I'll give them a test in the next few weeks as I have some larger stuff to buck .

I’m working with a local laser cutting outfit to make the 3 types of dogs for the 2100 style long clutch covers. Inner that bolts to the case, outer that bolts to the 22 54 covers that are drilled for them and the odd one that bolts into the 27 49 cover like on the 268, 288, etc does. I’m hoping to have them in sets or individually.
Material choice at the moment is 12g stainless (cheapest) and Chromolly that I don’t have a quote for yet but would be more expensive. They can powder coat as well but I would need to either add that or not to full run.
Any suggestions as to material to use or PC or not?
Not looking for a new income source so they will be cost + freight, basically.
Thoughts, suggestions?

These will be drilled to accept modern chain catch rollers from Husqvarna and Stihl. The 27 49 dogs will be set to use Husky rollers like on 372, 395, etc.
the 22 54s will be drilled for Stihl type rollers.
Pics up later…

You should look into birchwood-Casey brand Perma Blue. It’s a chemical used for bluing guns. It might be better and more durable than powder coating.

I’ll probably just leave them as is. The Stainless pretty nice and it will keep costs down.

True, but the perma blue is only like $10 and would probably do a couple dozen sets

what if it's not my shade of blue?

That's good stuff if it'll blue stainless.

Not familiar with brakes on these. Is this what it say it is? And other than the busted handle, anything else it lacking?

[hacskaroly]

Yeah, that looks like it.

 

[Sloughfoot]

SCORE! Don't normally do this, but being the hen's teeth that these are, I bought first asked later.

 

[hacskaroly]

Judging by the 2100 IPLs, it’s probably from a ‘79 or later unit. Or a ‘78 or later 480.

I believe my case is a later one. Will it go to any 2100 case?

Yeah, it is the same as the one without the brake, except yours has the brake.
