TreeMonkey Red Light 066 Build

[markds2]

Two thoughts. (1) For a guy that has never done a build thread -- you, sir are knocking it out of the park. (2) Maybe its OCD, but go ahead and spring for the new "break area covers". This saw deserves it. If the paint is as durable as it is nice -- it is a job well done.

That cover appears NLA.... all my dealer shows is the code ending with 1105 which is the same for the MS660

@markds2 how long did you let the paint cure prior to heating. I painted some 034 super cases and when I stuck them in the toaster oven for heating to set the bearings, they discolored and I had to start over.

It was 4 to 5 days including having them sit outside in the sun most days, very important to let enamel to take its time drying. Treated right, it is very tough and has a nice gloss. It spent 4 hours in the oven at 80 degrees Celcius and seems to have come up nice and appears tough (although it will chip when knocked with something very hard)

What sort of oven seems best Mark?

A Westinghouse wall oven...that is otherwise employed the rest of the time...

I would have accepted "An unattended one"...

Nice work Mark. Great to see such detail going into a saw and your subsequent posts herein.

Weekends are when I find the most time to work on saws, here's the intake boot installed with a new clamp

And a new impulse hose in place

And the back handle all ready to go

 

[markds2]

After the expected wrestle to get the handle to slide in between the front AV mounts the next thing to do is slip the impusle over the nipple on the crankcase. I find that a pair of long nose pliers through here is the best place of any

And we get the ignition wires and their grommet in place:


And the intake all in place

 

[markds2]

Next is the AV mount screws and associated bungs on both sides of the saw

And the obligatory timing wheel

Numbers were: 101 Ex, 120 Tf, 84 Int

i use a 12 inch pair of hemostats that have a slight curve alot easier to see around

 

[markds2]

Then the original WJ35 gets a rebuild kit

Metering arm set level with the body of the carb

New metering diaphragm

New filter gauze

And pump diaphragm

 

[markds2]

In place with the throttle and fuel line connected

The original carb adjustment screw grommet was very hard but in good condition, a slight heat with the heat gun softens it enough for it to be pushed in place.

And the new gasket in place with a smear of 515

Looking good! I put the front AV mounts in after I slide the tank in it's place. Eff that wire grommet

Hows you Dall?

 

[markds2]

Next is .020 off the flywheel key


And in place

Then we get the flywheel in place and give it a sharp tap with a punch to seat it on the taper so it won't move when we tighten it up

 

[Kiwioilboiler]

Fixed.

Hows you Dall?
