Good thing you caught that Lee

The clips are in there, The crank seal is also junk, the spring got wrapped around the lip.

No biggie as i knew it had an issue after being apart

Looks good! Piston wasn’t in backwards? Was it? I don’t see the grove in the pic in the original piston pic

No the piston was in correctly but who ever had the rod off prior put the pin in backwards. Runs beautiful now.
Hope to make a few cuts with it this week end.

Well i did a video of this 125 today, The saw is running very well and strong. But unfortunately
when i try to upload from my computer it says the file is to large. Not sure why as i have uploaded
videos where i did several cuts. Today was one cut.

Resolution set too high?

Resolution set too high?

No idea, I wouldn't know how to change that.

What hosting service are you using?

What hosting service are you using?

Not using any hosting service, I used Photo Bucket years ago till there rates went sky high.
Since then i just upload from my phone to my computer then i could put on the site. Not
sure why it says it's to large.

You have to use a hosting service like YouTube

The AS site you can do a short vid but no more than 20sec from phone, without host , here doesn’t seem to work without host .

There i fixed it. Had to go to YouTube first.

Will a SP125 crank work in a 101? Asking for a friend..... literally.

It sure will, and a 101 crank will work in a 125 as well.

The sp125 crank has an rpm limit in kart use, 12.5k seems to be the common number I hear

 

[heimannm]

Anything over 12.5 in the cut is just showing off anyway...

If you cut to the chase those large displacement saws were made for big wood certainly not to cut cookies from a 9 inch cant . Big wood is where they shine .I've never tached any of my large saws but would guess perhaps around 10-11 thou would be about it .Then again running .404 with 8 pins they are not slow .
