Me too! It is a great running saw I did some light grinding on this saw a few years ago. no lathe work...just transfers to Mike's #s the best I could. The saw is hard to stop with.325 chain.
Make sure you tighten the top cover bolts down before testing on her. You don't want to take your gloves off in that weather to find them.
You might have inspired me get at my 038. Been wanting to cheack squish and delete gasket if able to and clean up the exhaust port from the carbon build up. Be a good cold weather project.
It’s all down and muffler back on, need to order some more 193/194 exhaust deflectors. Been using them for my outlets on opened up mufflers as of late. I personally think they look nice when finished when I use them. I’m sure they’ll be too small for some applications but they will fit nearly anywhere and are only like 3$ each. I’ll make some bigger ones of my own after I make a set of dies to stamp them with my bench top press.
Converting the 266 case to fit the 272xp cover and clear the larger 272xp style air cleaner. Some machinable epoxy smearing into the lip to drill and tap the back cover screw that does not line up. Then a stainless steel tap drill and tapped to the front cover hole. With a hold down screw and some locktite for the front screw hole that’s does not line up. Minor modification to the top cover is pull the screw and take off the thickness of the tab from the plastic so that hat sits flat still
I see the raging cajun has his thinking cap on tonight LOL!!
This thing is gonna say payow and run like da dickens too! It’s got a NASTY port job! There are others who can do better than me but this is the best porting I can do on this one!
