The "Broken046," and how it got MOFO'd

[drf256]

So, about this political statement in your sig.....

That was written over 200 years ago about the fall of Athen's.

I'm still amazed how history repeats itself, the intellect these guys had, and how things really don't change.

Good morning Deets.

I try to be as honest as possible and show my mistakes too. I feel it leads to healthy discussion.

That's what learning is all about. I've made many mistakes, the trick is to catch them before something tragic occurs and your work quadruples.

I want the end product of this thread to be the best it can be.

When I first came to OPE I was(and still am) making old pro saws into firewood saws. just one year later and I am doing things that I never would have dreamed of from hanging out with all of you on the forum here. Which is why all of my posts aren't always the most relevant, as I like to think of the next new guy that will be reading starting out with very little at his/her disposal, when I comment. When there is no more left to learn about this stuff, I think I'll just quit, and I don't plan on quitting, ever. The looks on peoples faces that cut with a 60-70cc pro saw for the first time after suffering for years with a pos homeowner saw is priceless. I consider it my task now to keep that look on their faces as long as possible. With shining examples like yours (and others) here that exemplify just what the "best it can be" is all about, and gives me the confidence to "up my game" over and over and over again.

So to that I say Thank You very much.

I always like to think of what my dad told me when I was a little duffer, "once you know it all, that is all you will ever know".

I agree Randy, is the world really ready for @dall as president. That is just shameful @drf256 ...

Al, is that OEM piston one of the new ones manufactured by Stihl (instead of KS)?

Since we have delved into the subject.

I reckon @dall couldnt be any worse than the last few we've had.

To me, this all equates to pride in work...and many of you fine gentleman on here do that exceedingly well.
The wealth of knowledge shared, tips and tricks, success/failure stories, all add to the success of this site as well as the success in rebuilding saws!! Lol.

Also INTEGRITY! Doc has lots of it. And professionalism and attention to detail. Doc has all if it.

Mike I believe I saw KS stamped on the underside of it.

As I tell my family (of all ages) and anyone within ear shot.
The best things you can do in life are:

Surround yourself with people that have knowledge of area's you don't and have more experience in those you do have knowledge of. There is always someone with more knowledge than you have in some given aspect of life.

Share with those that do Not have the knowledge you do so as to Pass It Forward.

Do everything to the Best of your Ability, take Pride in what you are Doing, and think of those around you that will take Pride in what You are Capable of doing.

And last, be the best person you can be knowing the history, lessons learned, and dedication others have put forth so that you can be who you are.

My brightest idea of the night was not to attempt to touch the band and make it right at 11pm and complete exhaustion.

The idea "pop-upp-ed" into your head ??

Watch it!

We don't take to kindly to that political talk round these parts.

We had a half buzzed conversation goin on when he found out.

It was a little bit comical

 

[Wonkydonkey]

The other issue though, is that the charge in the squishband doesn't burn. The power in it is lost. So in saws with large squishband, a larger squish will likely lose a lot more power than the same on a saw with a smaller squishband.

Best answer.

I've read this in the two stroke tuners hand book iirc...

Edit: I found what a thought I'd read.

Sorry boss.

Al is taking care of a much-needed brake job on one of the family vehicles. A few days ago, one of his kiddos let him know that the car was making some noise when stopping and here's what he found:


I'd say they were due!

The ol' 046 is next on the chopping block! Yay! I'm excited to see what comes of it today.

 

[RI Chevy]

Yikes. Got everything and then some out of those pads. Lol

I'm surprised those rotors aren't grooved anymore than they are.

He ain't the only one wrenching on wheels today .

Small world, eh ???

@drf256, I'm laughing, Jason woke me up, said the conversation we had in the driveway made him look. I'm using the medicine that you dropped off to wake up

Thank you again !!!!
