What's on your bench?

All done. WBWS 550 Mark II
Very nice! But does she run? vids?

It will get a short test run late tonight when I get home, then delivery probably tomorrow to my friend. I did another with the same numbers and it ran really well.

Nice job!

Off the bench and on the floor now. I've got a ton of top handles to fix/rebuild for the upcoming olive season.

All these are getting test drives on Friday.



Ran a couple of batches of Greece's finest on Sunday.

My great uncle's Echo GT-225 that he couldn't get started and that is leaking fuel from the fuel line grommet in the tank. Verified compression/good piston and cylinder and ignition. Squirted some mix down the carb and she fired. Ordered a new carb and grommet. It's also getting new fuel lines/filter and a spark plug.

I got a 288 in I built for a friend year's ago
Just in for carb issues
And a fuel line.
He put a am carb on it for some reason
It had a nice tillotson on it.
Waiting on a carb kit

Scrap yard MS441, AFM big bore kit ( till I have the oem spark plug hole and exhaust mounts welded) .
Definitely required massage of the sides to fit the case and the bottom ports needed opened up. They basically enlarged the bore 2mm and everything else grew out of proportion.
Gasket delete .020 on the squish.

Coworker brought this to me to repair. He bought a whole bunch of new parts for it and had me install them. He offered to sell it to me for a really good price so I took him up on it. Runs great.

This massive beast. New oil pump rubber ring and plug. Popped on mix. Good to go ahead with fuel system overhaul and recoil rope replacement now.

Absolutely nothing. My shop has been a wreck lately. Took the entire day Monday to clean and organize.

That looks like more than a 3 natty light job. I hope that was just the ones that didn't get cleaned up as you were going.

I keep thinking one day.......... One day....... I'll see the benches and floor again. Not a pretty sight by any means right now.

7:30-5:30. I must have walked 5 miles in my basement. My feet were killin' me. Walked upstairs to the fridge and grabbed three. I wanted to sit still and enjoy the clean shop.

I'll do that - get the shop cleaned and sit there and enjoy it for a while...but it only lasts about a day or so, then it's right back to chaos.

When i cleanup and put away all the tools i can't find anything i need.
What drawer did i put all the files in? Now i have to look in all the drawers in 5 tool chests to find one file.

Chaos keeps your mind sharp.

Took me 12 minutes this afternoon to disassemble a 372xp OE for porting changes. Not sure I can do any other saw as fast other than maybe a 044/046 or 390xp which is just a big bore 372. The newer strato type saws sure take a lot more time to do than these older ones that’s for sure. View attachment 259475

462 just about falls apart. Under 4 minutes.

Treemonkey took about 15 minutes in his video which was pretty fast. The weird ring compressor shape you have to fabricate in the process would probably slow most guys down.

You got that right. Weird feeling that there has to be more parts when you put it back together. You keep looking on the bench and magnetic tray. Lol
