Is that another HD17? Not sure what could be wrong other unless the epoxy is coming off the Welch plugs

 

[jmssaws]

That's a HD but I didn't even look to see which one.

Been messing with a meteor cylinder that had lots of problems from the factory.
Work in progress

What were some of the issues? Looks like lots removed from the base.

050 from the base
The main problem was that stock it was
110 131 78
The exhaust and transfers are raised as far as they can go,out of material.
I don't know how it ran but the exhaust port opened on the pto side corner first and would have hung eventually.
The meteor piston in the meteor cylinder had .003 clearance
Saw was sent to me to port but I didn't know it had a am cylinder until I tore it apart.

The lowers are gigantic to match the uppers that are a 1/2" tall from being raised.

Been slowly building my 385 between fixing customer saws. Rebuilt the bottom end,new meteor piston.

Mike Lee cut the base and squish and I ported it using his numbers.

Didn't take a ton of pictures but here's a few.

Got it together today and did a little test run. The Tilly carb was giving me fits for some reason so I swapped in a new rwj-4 that I bought for my 371. Looks like I'll be picking up another one.

The saw feels real strong I'll get some video after I have some more time to fiddle with it.

Nah It's gonna go back on eventually. I wanna play with the rwj for a while though.

 

[jmssaws]

You and me both.
I'm starting to dislike a walboro

 

[jmssaws]

I got the machine work done and the cylinder layed out for porting on a 661 today and ran a couple saws.
Drove all the way out to my log and jerked the pull rope out on the first pull.
So actually I ran a saw today.

 

[jmssaws]

Only saw I ran today.

 

[danimal]

I'm porting my brothers 036 so I can have something to compare this 361 to.
I can't go by feel anymore

Thats cause all them 660's vibrating caused nerve damage in yer hands.

 

[beaglebriar]

A short video of the 385. I hope the link works.

Seeing that snow ain't right when it's 80 here

 

[RI Chevy]

I still have snow on ground up here as well. Not much, but still some.
