Kids are starting back to school soon. I expect to see that saw for some real world testing,i.e.,get it dirty

 

[PA Dan]

I'll bring it up and you can get it dirty! I don't want to run it too much might get attached![emoji13]

not sure if I look forward to work on this one...

I have another theory...... He doesn't know what rakers do.
One side has been sharpened down more than the other too

Is that vanguard chain that he sharpened the rakers on? Lol

Found the issue on the 439, well, at least one of them. Have to found out how I get to the muffler.
One thing is for certain, I already hate 439!

 

[Tor R]

As deeper I get into 439 as more dissapointed I get.
It's their most pricey lightweight saw, but build quality is very lousy.
Else then ripped intake bellow, I found a few other issues.

They didnt use spacer between the flywheel and coil, distance was zero, so tight that I belive they pressed the coil to the flywheel also.

Cylinder plating look to be low quality. Intake side..exchaust side was nice.


If I got it correct it's a Zenoah enginge, best to unvoid them

Rebuilding and 084!

254XP cases after paint.

Finished up my 036 red lever build Besides the diaper box gasket it looks like it ingested something. After this was fixed it Passed vac and pressure tests

 

[Backtroller]

Took the meteor piston and cylinder from another builder, an 036 Pro. This set was really nice looked as nice as oem. Polished up the plastics

 

[Backtroller]

Painted the clutch cover ford implement gray and threw on a used 18" I had. I bought a new Zama off of Dave along with some little odds and ends. It started on the fourth pull. It was a good feeling to get her going again.

Took the decomp out after firing her up and I'm waiting for a plug to run these older style plastics.

Nice job! It looks really good. What year do you think that saw is? 1989 maybe?
I've got my dads 036 red lever here and I think he said he bought it brand new in 1989

 

[Backtroller]

I'm not sure but I would think that it must be around there somewhere. Besides the incorrect broken handle, the crappy scored aftermarket p/c, and the cardboard gasket it is a really nice and clean saw.

The 036Pro is getting an Oem Piston and cylinder I bought from Bplust. That saw needed a flywheel side seal. I advanced the timing and did a small muffler mod on that one. Collecting parts to finish that one. Waiting for the boredom of winter to finish.

Once completed I'm going to run both against Al's ported 036 to see how it fares. Same bar. Same chain.

I am pretty sure that a company called Episan makes 930 slugs.

Could you by any chance locate one of these for me? Google search turned up nothing.

I am not really a Stihl guy so excuse a dumb question. Is the 036 a desirable saw? Other than the obvious reasons, nice, reliable etc etc.
reason i ask is i saw one at a local pawn shop today and wondered if i should go back and try to make a deal for it.

The 064 hybrid is getting a makeover as soon as I'm done fabricating a flange here in a few minutes.
