[Magic_Man]

Gas monkey garage? Lol

You mean ass monkey garage Hahahaha

 

[Warped5]

Meh, id run it.

Exactly. The pistol-waving ape may be along to remind us that if those grooves aren't too severe, they'll fill with carbon and be just fine.

 

[Magic_Man]

So I just happen to have this on the shelf that I got for a really good deal from @Flip

My plan is to get the saw running with the 54mm top and send the 52mm along with it when it goes. I will let the "pistol waving ape" use his knowledge and experience to decide if it's useable or not.

 

[Magic_Man]

So let's get everybody caught up here...
Tank cleaned up, new presence lever and spring, new throttle return spring, new fuel line, filter, and grommet.

If I didn't know better. I would say that was the top end I sent to Wiggs a few years ago? ...Coincidence?

 

[Magic_Man]

Cases all cleaned up, new crank seals and oil pump O-rings. I wish I had the time and means to split the cases and replace the bearings but I don't. They felt good, no play, no tell tale clicking, but they will get replaced later.

I can't recall where I got it.

 

[Magic_Man]

The difference in combustion chambers is crazy, I see why everybody wants the 181 cylinder.

288 cylinder


181 cylinder

That 181 jug has a wide flat squish band........sorta like the way we make em on the lathe. Coincidence? I doubt it.

 

[Magic_Man]

So I skipped a bunch of steps in the interest of time, but here it is. All new OEM crank seals, oil pump O-rings, fuel line, filter, and grommet, clutch bearing, piston pin bearing, 288 top end,carb rebuilt, fuel governor bypassed, base gasket, half wrap handlebar, I made gaskets for every intake tract junction and put a cherry on top. Lol Slapped on a 20" bar I had for another saw and a fresh loop of Stihl RSC. Fueled up with VP 40:1 canned premix and ready to test and tune.

You think somebody already turned it @Mastermind ? There's a few things on this saw that lead me to think it was somebody's toy at one time.

No. I was just noting the similarities...

Keep in mind that the 181 is a beast in stock form.

Where did you get the UNI filter?

 

[Magic_Man]

Off to the woods, this should work for a break in, hard maple that's about 24" at the base. I would like to get a few tanks through it before it leaves.

Now I'm getting a bit nervous, pressure and vac tested before heading out. Half a dozen pulls and it fired, sounds like a monster. Tuned it up as fat as Mary's sister just to be safe and in the wood it goes.

Where did you get the UNI filter?

Amazon, I typically like to support the local bike shop. But they would had to special order it, told me it would take two weeks, and the price was twice as much. Bought it from Amazon and it was here in 2 days.

Where did you buy the velocity stack?
