What's on your bench?

It's been a damn good edging machine...never put a dime into it except for blades. Think I bought it around '91/'92 or so. Ain't never missed a beat til the little hiccup yesterday.

I have my 026 back on the bench to improve on the porting and timing.
I have learnt a lot on this site so its time to make the little saw that could even better.

I thought this would interest the folks here.
Check out the piston wash.
It looks like my right transfer is opening before the left transfer so I will need to fix that up

Replacing my MS 461 with a much better saw. Strong in stock form, but doing a muffler mod and base gasket delete.

Chinese 365, how's it look? I was wondering about those

Sorry, it's a Husqvarna 372 with new bearings, piston, rings, seals, muffler mod and base gasket delete. Starter was missing, so used AM.

Ah, I didn't think it was the right color to be Chinese

Question for you fellers...can I just run aluminum duct tape on the underside of my Husky 55 top cover above the muff? It's got a small crack in it from heat...just wanna try to avoid it getting worse and ordering a new top cover. They're proud of them damn things. Or do I need to hit an auto parts store and get some insulation type tape?...and if so, what brand is worth a chit? I can add some epoxy or otherwise to help it I suppose. Just don't wanna waste time/money on some tape that'll just peel right off the minute heat hits it.

I just thought I would wake up the Stihl guys. As long as the saw has power and a sharp chain, I don't care what brand it is. Local Husqvarna dealer is hard to beat.

I have seen it on saws, and seems to hold up. Cool-it brand thermo tape is what I have been using and works well. If you can wait a few days,PM me your address and I will send you a couple feet. Used on a Jeep V-8 conversion to shield parts from header heat and held up good.

I use this...its a thick foil with heat resistant adhesive. I got it from ebay and it works very well.

Thank you sir...that would be great. If you have a PayPal account, or if you shoot me your physical address in a PM, I'll be more than happy to pay for the material and shipping.

Just give me your address and I will send it out. It's already paid for.

10-4, thank you again. If there's ever anything I may have and I can return the favor, it's coming back to ya in spades. PM heading your way.

I would like to build a 372 out of the Chinese case and such

Yeah it'd be nice to know if all those Chinese cranks that are available would hold up for any length of time. I see a lot of 372's for sale on the bay. Really have to wonder what's lurking inside them.

Running some Farmtec ones and seem to be doing fine. 3 are being run hard in tree service work. Good so far, may go tomorrow, many new oem saws have let loose also.

I bet a new carb might be cheap. Check into this.

Have put many together using HL and Hutzl parts. Some aftermarket carbs are Zama's with name removed. Have not had a bad case yet and HL p/c $99 kits run just fine.

Probably right...I'm gonna dig into the carb here shortly...see what it looks like. Hust now finishing up the rest of the yardwork so it's up next.
