What's on your bench?

My Stihl stamped 036 ZAMA carb had the 1 and 1 preset. So I assume the carb had a bigger jet.

Low speed was at 1.5 and high speed was at 1. Left the low speed at 1.5 and opened the high speed up to 2.

Perfect thank you. Made a bunch of progress with cleaning and reassembly this evening. Need to finish cleaning the brake handle, clutch cover and bar/chain, but first a plate of Thanksgiving leftovers!

It was good for sure! Gonna chill for a bit with my girlfriend in front of the TV and hopefully try to not fall asleep lol. I do still need to clean those parts and close up the shop. Hopefully will have it running tomorrow evening.

All ready to be fueled and oiled, fired up and base tuned.. popped off on a prime shot down the carb and sounded good!

What's the max rpm so I can look with my digital tach?

Working at the tree company today. This was on my bench when I got here. I’ve gotta hand it to the crew for a pretty ingenious field repair.

455 rancher fired up this evening and I got the initial tune on it. Pulling about 12500 now and it sounds pretty good. Need to sink it in a piece of wood to see how it does though.

After having a water logged engine, a bent shaft, a bad clutch housing bearing and a gummed up carburetor. I now have a second Shindaiwa weedeater to match the one I had already. It runs awesome now.

Thanks! The slow speed still needs a bit of tweaking but at least it's running so I can load test then go from there.
