What's on your bench?

[Woodslasher]

Mastermind has mentioned those plug threads specifically in a thread, cant remember which one though?
Send it off to Scar for some welding, I've never been confident in the threaded inserts, unless they are made for a ford Triton motor.

My thread griping about my plug threads stripping, perhaps? Yeah, I should but I don’t want to dump a ton of money into saws right now. Maybe if I sell off one or two….

It’s a @Mattyo hightop. I gotta say, I love it. It fits perfect, I like the finish, and it is one of the few reasons I’m keeping that saw.

There's more where that came from

Yup know what you mean , I do as I can with what I have , but I'll shelve a project for a long time before the right stars align.
BTW I thought your 3120xp would have sailed by now?

Meh, it may yet!

Husqvarna 61, trying to find an air leak. Bought cheap but buying lots of parts for it. When I'm done I probably will have about what it's worth in it..

Picked this up today for $75 for my collection. Sears made by Strunk, built 1954-56. 77cc Tecumseh Power Products AH-47 engine. Has excellent compression and spark. A project for when I get some free time. Complete except for the chain. A real beast at 28 lbs.

Holy crap! At that weight it might make a better door stop, runnin or not.

All joking aside, I need a carb kit for a Honda GX 240. Are the Proline kits any good or should I just go genuine?

Genuine OEM Honda

Getting prepped for Henri. Generator is ready, just need to fill my 5 gallon can in the morning. Have a buddy coming over tomorrow morning to help get his generator going. Gonna start putting stuff inside the garage and shed shortly.

Yesterday I revisited my brother's 372 that wouldn't start or even spark. Last time that happened I learned I didn't tighten the flywheel nut enough and the key sheared. I thought I'd re-aligned it correctly before I Loctited it and cinched it down, but apparently not. A few quick mods to my 350 exhaust blockoff plate later and I had a flywheel puller! I'll probably try filing a keyway into this flywheel later, but for now I'll put the flywheel from my 372 on his saw.

You're a good brother.

You're a good brother.

I try, but there have been more than a few times where I've come up short. I think they respect the effort I put in, though.

 

[Woodslasher]

Well, there was a plot twist with my brother's 372! I swapped over the flywheel and I got an occasional spark but nothing consistent. However, when I swapped over my coil the saw fired up on the first pull. I'm suspecting his coil was dying, which would explain the intermittent crappy running that caused me to tear down the saw in the first place. So, it looks like I need to add a coil to my shopping list.
Flywheel outta his:

Flywheel outta mine:

Both sitting on the bench:

And his saw put back together again: I'm gonna steal it as a temporary replacement for my 461 since he hasn't run it in probably 3 years or so.

Good find.

Got the Sears to pop off on mix. Carb kit on the way.
Got a buddy's Echo CS-3450 running and evaluated for a service. Just needs plug, fuel filter, air filter cleaned and he wants a new bar and 2 chains. Looked up and ordered the bar/chains.

Well finally got the transmission back together now for the time to reinstall it.

Raybestos gps clutches throughout. Superior shift kit. W replacement “factory” accumulator springs since two out of three were broken. 1 Extra friction in all clutch packs except low reverse (wouldn’t fit). New forward planet ring gear. Sonnax o ring boost valve and line to lube shuttle with one way valve in it. Found out it has 4 pinion steel OD planet and 6 pinion steel rear and forward planets in it. As well as newer style front pump with larger pump gears.

Other PM55 got new seals , was running pretty good ,then this past winter wouldn't keep a tune or straighten up . Has the fully adjustable carburetor.
The old seals didn't look terrible but they were hard like brick!
Gratuitous dawg photo!

Stihl bg85 blower. Dang carb is giving me fits. Finally got it to half way run, going to replace the fuel lines tomorrow. The primer bulb is pulling crappy and that's the only thing I can think of. The carb has been through the ultrasonic twice. This is a before pic, it got a carb kit, primer bulb and plug.

How's the spark screen?
