What's on your bench?

[Woodslasher]

I'd like to give a big shoutout to @jacob j. for hooking me up with these. I'm waiting for a coil and a/f cover to arrive before I can run my Dubya again, but I'm liking the new look. As well as looking cool, these dogs keep the saw from "falling" onto the bar every time I set it down

A couple of relics.

028 Super got a new clutch, tank vent, plug, fuel filter, air filter cleaned and pressure wash. Just need to sharpen his chains.

FS96 got a carb kit and fuel lines. Ordered a new fuel cap.

I feel very stupid right now. I decided that the fuel filter on the 235RII trimmer that has been plaguing me might be the problem, but when I opened the tank I noticed it was very low on fuel. I topped it off and now it runs friggin flawless. If it still runs well later this afternoon and this evening I'll try to return it to the guy tomorrow.

028 Super is one of my favorite saws, reliable as a rock and cuts well.

Well, I don't feel quite so stupid anymore. Turns out @RI Chevy called it awhile back, the vented cap is not venting like it should so the trimmer cuts out if you run it for extended periods. I'll order up a new cap and maybe I'll return it next weekend.

Today I pulled the tank off my 2166 to investigate the vent leaking fuel.
Swapped the tank with one from a builder I got from @blackbruin. Also swapped the handle as someone had cleaned the peeling black paint off it.


How does one replace that white vent tube? Wood screw? I will eventually need to when I put the saw together.

Mowed the lawn then gave my 850ic a 50/100 hour service.
Oil, plug, air filter changed and pre-filter washed. Hr meter marked.
I swear my previous Quantum went over 600hrs trouble free, intend to track this one via the hr meter.

I have an EFCO 8420:brush saw I have had 30+ years. Bought it when we first got the property and we’re building trails. These days it gets an hour or two of use a year clearing brambles off the trails.
Thought I would check the air filter before using it.
I guess I need a new one! Disintegrated except for a scrap left.

What do I use and anyone know what the original looked like?

This ported 262xp that I bought last week. Just cleaning it up. Scrubbed it with Mean Green and put a new Denso plug in it. Took the stickers off, (sorry I'm not a sticker guy) and put a correct starter handle on it. Need to get a new recoil decal for it.

It was a dual sticker saw since it was a collaborative for a fund raiser.

Yeah, I've heard a wood screw is the way to go. There's also supposed to be a little "puck" in front of that, but the saw will run without it.

It’s eeeaaassy to tear down these new 372’s with the torx fasteners. Took me 9 minutes.

I don't know if this company is OK to buy from, but they have parts diagrams:

You might be able to cut a piece of filter foam to size rather than buy the proper filter?

Not on bench,but I'm dealing with something electrical on my 06 Polaris sportsman 500HO. I'm leaning towards a bad battery, but trying to cover my bases checking stator output and all that. Died on the trail with my daughter riding it yesterday, I could pull start it and it would run, but if you hit the brakes it would TRY to die ,then if you turned on the headlights, that would completely kill it. Turn everything off and pull start it again and would run fine. [emoji2369]
