Help a friend out with a boat in a box issue. Rebuilding a few carbs for his 115 Johnson.

really need a boat mechanic to pm me, I need basic settings on the idle needle. It has that silly tamper resistant pentalobe screw head on it.View attachment 297910 View attachment 297911

Probably need to talk to @Stevetheboatguy or @WillG ,I know they could most likely help you

Swapped out the handle on a 260, guy got it from work for $20! And a 440 isn’t looking so hot, was want wanting to build a hybrid, knew it was scored, and have a decent 460 top end, but the crank is seized, now I need to find a crank

You'd be amazed at what people miss.

So I had to remove the tank on my fresh SP81 to put the correct fiber disc in the manual oiler, I tried a aluminium welch plug but it was not working.
I also red kote sealed the tank when I originally put the saw together but have since developed 3 very tiny spots that have caused the paint to bubble out from fuel pressure.
Since separating the tanks halves is never a good idea with these Id like to know what you guys think ?
I did purchase a bottle of acetone for thinning the red kote if recoating is a possibility.

What I've done with old tank coatings that were either not applied correctly or developed leaks later is to let them sit for days or even weeks with some Methyl-Ethyl-Ketone
in them and over time it softens up the tank coating material for removal or reworking. I also use MEK to thin out the coatings I use.

Thanks Jacob, I think that is still available here at lowes or home depot.

Technically it was on the coffee table, but I did some fancy drawing last night. Now I've just gotta transfer it to my dog plate, cut it out, clean it up, and mount it!

What material are you using for your dawgs?

Graph paper.

 

[Woodslasher]

Just kidding, a neighbor who was/is a machinist gave me a piece of plate that's roughly the same thickness as a Stihl 056 big dawg, it was salvaged off of something he scrapped so I have no idea what rc hardness it is. It's a pita to drill, though, so it's plenty hard for dogs.

 

[Maintenance Chief]

Graph paper.

I mean metal? Or are you just reshaping the old ones?

Got a pre filter to try on the 066. If It works good I may order a few more for other saws.

That's a funky 066 air filter.

 

[merc_man]

When I got the saw in a box it was missing most of the air filter stuff so this was way cheaper then bying original stuff off ebay.
I didnt think the new filter was stopping the fines so i got this outer wear filter cover. My BIL has a few and never has to blow out his filter. Just pop pre filter off shake out and reinstall.

Finished porting these yesterday. Hopefully I’ll get them reassembled and installed tonight.
