Little China Girl

[Stump Shot]

Well, I suppose I can update this here thread. New woodruff keys came in the day before we left and one was shaved then flywheel was put back on and seemed OK. (I'm betting somebody didin't tighten it good the last time it was apart, (gotta fire that guy). Didn't have time to run it so threw it in and went to the GTG and tried it out there. It refused to tune well and the consensus was the carbeltater isn't quite doing its thing right. Starts out cutting good and then just starts to fade off. Never did try and race it because of this. Will have to get another carbeltater to try out. See what happens in the Chinese parts lottery. Now I could buy a real one, but no sense making sense of this now, what fun would that be if it worked as intended? Lol

@Stump Shot ever get a different carb, or is it just on the back burner?

Pretty much on the back burner, seems just about anything else jumps ahead on the priority list. When the weather gets nice in spring/summer I might get the itch to mess with this thing again.

You got the itch yet?!?

You got the itch yet?!?

You gave it to Steve too?

Going to see his response to that question. Might be going camping with him again after all!

With what Hogan was involved in (in real life) … it is a good thing he didn't!

Put a OEM carb on it . I've been doing that a lot lately and now there all running like they should and way easier to tune.

I have had good luck with the AM 660 carbs, only one needed the metering lever adjusted.

For the 440 kit, I just replace them with the one from D Dave (A Walbro made by ZAMA), very inexpensive and the work just fine for me.

Stump Shot so have you played with little china Girl lately?

No, I certainly have not. Seems even when I do have something for myself to do this never makes it high enough on the list to get revised.
Though I do have a plan concocted rolling around in the old dome...

Well if you got something going on in that brain pan of you'rs it's got to be something interesting can't wait to see what you come up with.

I wonder if it will involve tannerite???

Now, now, my best running Asian saws are the 660s (w/Cross p+c and some port work). I mill with them, and none of them have blown up yet!

One of the Asian 440 Big Bores I did for someone did let go … I think they need good oil + ratio. None of mine have let go.

Tore the top end of this off to rob the pin for the brake handle, figured it would push me towards starting over with a different top end set up.
And, well... seems like there's a flaw in the slaw with that plan...

Sure got hot for the little bit it ran. Only made a handful of cuts.
An astute case of the Corona Crank.

It really should have.

Did the Chinese send you a reed cage jug for this build?

Naw, that was just me messing with a different model piston with a longer skiet. Which wasn't too bad.

 

[smokey7]

What piston were you attempting to use?
