What's on your bench?

[heimannm]

Working my way through a box of coils I got from Woody Strommen.



Some need the spark plug wire replaced. The 1/4" hollow screw extractor bits work well for cleaning out the remnants of the 7mm plug wire if they twist off in there.



I made a crude hollow bit from a 3/16" spring pin for the 5mm wires.





So far there is only one coil that was actually bad, but two got wrecked in the process of cleaning out the broken wires.

Another 372xp, getting new bearings, gaskets, crank seals and caber.
Just waiting on some small parts from Husqvarna.

I'm adding a raiser block to a 345 to make it a 353. But after tighting the raiser, the crank is not turning smooth anymore. I have 2 raiser blocks, same. But intall the original 345 jug is smooth as silk. No idea why.

Couple of classics that have been sittin an unknown amount of years. I may rebuild them yet since most of the parts seem to be there.

Did you remove the metal tabs from the seals before installing the riser?

Yes. I read the 350 IPL and 350 doesn't has it. But the tab left a deep mark on the seal casing.

Another husky 350…

Guys at work are rough on stuff.

I’ve had that top handle for years, picked it up here I believe with a LOT I bought. JBweld and copper pipe, it works. R is for run…

Is it a saw that can't fly?

Merry Christmas, Y'all!

It can probably fly, just doesn’t fare well being ran over.

Currently on the bench - a pair of 7.3 IDI diesel heads. Have checked one pair for cracks with magnaflux and pen dye (did a comparison video) but still need to check valve guides (think I'm going to have bad news there) and check to see if they're warped. Have another pair to disassemble, clean, and check as well, so I'm hopeful that I end up with at least one good pair that won't need any machine work done.

 

[heimannm]

Working through some boxes of clutch drums. If anyone knows any good cross references for assorted vintage drums, please let me know.

My brother went through a bunch of that type and crossed them to Oregon. Unfortunately, he went through the Oregon book and the Herr book to convert them. There isn't an easy way that I know of.

 

[heimannm]

Well, actually that helped Billy. You reminded me to look at some old Oregon documents and I found a couple more...

Trying to get this back in action gave it a test fire last night. Needs a few parts still

 

[av8or3]

New to me 143. 95cc. I’m going to clean it up and run it some before setting it up with the others.
I’d like to add that a fellow member here (and there) was instrumental in the acquisition of it and went way beyond the call of duty to get it to me. Thank you again.
