Saw builds

[Mattyo]

Finished redoing my dads 350 ... again. Now I know to use 1184 on the bearing cup instead of loctite 518. New bearings and seals too... and a 196 carb. All better

Nice Matt! [emoji106]

The @MustangMike debacle is finally over for me. Im mad at this saw, so I'm not talking to it anymore.

Debacle #1 was adding a caber ring that was the wrong thickness to a seemingly OEM AM slug.

Many of you remember how that went.

Saw redone. Real OEM slug this time.

Then I notice oil all over my bench and the bar is dry as hell.

Being it's an 036/360, guess what it was?

So the oil line got redone. Then I used a new looking 036 clutch I had. Then the clutch wouldn't disengage. Then the drum wouldn't come off, so I had to disassemble the entire clutch side again to pry it off.

Then, on the 4th friggin carb that I had to try on this god damn saw, the choke plate was sticking. ,so off came the handle and carb again. Fixed that.

Finally got the damn thing right. It's done and I can't stand looking at it. My number one biggest PITA to date.

2.0 sounds great! Was fat at first, then leaned out a little at the end.
Sounded strong though. Held RPM'S well. [emoji106]

 

[drf256]

3.0 actually had oil on the chain.

 

[RI Chevy]

3.0 sounds great too.
That saw needs a BIG GFY!!!
LOL.
Sorry you experienced all the issues. You still did good!

Nice job Doc! I'm guessing the problem child deports first thing Monday morning, haha.

These are the saws that make you step back and ask why the hell do I put myself through this aggravation?

I just got through with one a few weeks ago that was very similar minus the top end issues you had. I'm so glad that friggin thing is gone, didn't make a dime but that's the way it goes sometimes.


Saw turned out great Al.

Question. I opened the 460 I'm building and found this:



I thought only 046 were "D" chambers?

Glad you got it worked out, Al

 

[RI Chevy]

Interesting Al. Maybe it has been apart before?
