So what did you do today?

[Guido Salvage]

Cooked some chicken...

 

[Daserlon]

Bought a new to me husqvarna 288. Came with 36" chrome sandvik bar, new spare chain, 28" bar and chain. 2 cans of K&N filter oil and a extra K&N filter. For $275 i think i did good. It runs rough so I'll do carb kit, fuel line and filter.

394 taking shape. Here's a pic of what @Deets066 needs


And a couple pics of the ported cylinder

Not sure what happened to the piston. I had to grind it out through the intake port to get the jug off. Maybe the jug came loose or a main bearing let loose. Wrist pin bearing and rod bearing are both good

I played with my truck today hunting for a engine miss i replaced the spark plugs and checked the cap and rotor and couldn't find anything wrong.
I started the engine and proceeded to find the bad coil wire with my hand i have not been that lit up since high school , Found i have a bad wire set the hard way.
Tomorrow i will change the wire set and hope to have my occasional miss disappear.
fug me haha.

Probably wasted the morning...took the engine out of one plastic McCulloch 3214 saw and put it in another. Was given a saw that was all there but had low compression and I had an engine with compression but not much else that worked so I spent about three hours on it. I pulled the rope a few times and it fired up and ran a short while because it was out of gas. I haven't checked anything else out on the saw like the chain oiler but at least it has a good engine in it. I'll mess with it some more late tonight but wife wants yard mowed now..
I know these little plastic saws aren't worth much but it's something to do while waiting on parts for the Stihl's I'm working on..

Went to dentist due tooth pain the last week, after 40 injection with pain killers she got the job done, well, thats what I hope, still on lots of painkillers, maybe time to do a liver&kidney test if this continue!!

It's not how it should be for a chainsaw collector, bought one Husky 133SG part saw, finished the deal as fast I was out from the dentist chair!

Placed an order with Nate (@fordf150 ) and received notice that it has already shipped. Great customer service!!! Can't wait to get to Minni next week. It will be like Christmas in July...

Mowed the yard today then cooled off a bit and tried to tune the 3214 Mac. I didn't clean the carb or anything so I'll do that maybe tomorrow, also possible I kinked a fuel line while putting the saw halves together, hard to get those saws just right the first time. I'll check the filter and line tomorrow while I have the carb out. The saw runs but it isn't too smooth and it does oil the chain.

 

[Stump Shot]

Ran my own saws today, not by choice though, woke a 2:30AM to a doozy of a thunderstorm with high winds and torrential rain. Only took a minute for it to knock the power out. Went back to sleep after it passed, woke again at 6:30able to see all the "new work" I get to do. ten trees snapped of or uprooted, two of which were on the road and had to be cleaned up ASAP, and a bazillion branches(I counted 'em) as well as parts of the driveway washed out. High lite of my day was running the old Homelite, wasn't an XP lob for sure. Decided I should at least "exercise the gaskets" on the Poulan Pro as well. Road and drive cleaned with the BR600 and the gravel dragged and smoothed, just in time to clean up and go to work. I'm a little tired and a little wired, but it's all good. Funny thing was at 8:00PM when I came home, the only clean part of the road was the part I did, neighbors were out jogging and biking and all sort of things, but evidently it never occurred to them that they could get their exercise by doing a little bit of work. I hope the sparky on the old Homelite jacked with their TV reception! Ha-ha. Sometimes it's just the little things...

Concerning the plastic Mac 3214, I went ahead and dipped the carb parts in cleaner and then rinsed it out with hot water. That's before I noticed that the previous owner had the fuel lines in the wrong spots. It happens a lot with primer bulb saws, difference between a good running saw and a non-runner. I should have noticed that when I changed the engine but I was busy keeping the trigger and other handle parts from flying out.

Brakes went out on my truck so I spent the morning fixing those. (leak at a hose connection) and then I spent several hours handling fiberglass faced foam insulation. My skin is complaining about that. Groundi helped and she's complaining too...
