What's on your bench?

[Czed]

I looked closer at the 257 the compression it felt like it had was actually a mud daubers nestView attachment 370197
View attachment 370203View attachment 370204
Just needs a piston,seals,carb kit and a fuel line.

Threw a amazon 262 kit on the 257
The air dam and air intake crumbled to pieces from age.
Runs strong but the seals let go when I was tuning it in wood
I'll change them out tomorrow.

562 handlebar?

Yep, I got the idea when I saw my 562 and 350 sitting next to each other on the bench.

Move that silly saw out of the way so we can see the chair Dan.

I'm afraid it's not much to look at, but it is by far the comfiest office chair I've sat in.

my two saw plan for years was my 372xpw and my 357xp i uses the smaller one for climbing every day for several years and my bigger one for just about everything else

 

[pbillyi69]

forgot to say that the bigger saw has only ever wore a 32 and the little one came with an 18 but only ever used a 20 on it

After getting the rest of the contents from the small parts bins put away, today I focused on the gaskets & diaphragms.

First step was getting them sorted.







As I pointed out elsewhere, I put together a binder with scans of many different carburetor kits to make it easier to I.D. parts when working on carburetors. It also came in handy today to be able to put these parts in their proper locations with the corresponding carburetor kits.



That metering lever on the page is actually the scanned image...I know...I tried to pick it up.

In case you didn't see them page a page or two, this is how they came to me.

Seals just take a few minutes on this series still looking for a 262 intake block I thought I had one I didn't

I always put some motoseal on the oring and fasteners on the seal holder

Put seals,carb kit and rings in a ms260 much more difficult than a 2 series
Got it tuned in wood.

Flywheel side seal on the 260 can be a pain in the ass.

 

[bulletpruf]

Is it done yet?

Not yet, but getting close to making some noise. 7.3 IDI turbo short block is done. Shooting for 550 ft/lbs at the rear wheels so it's not exactly stock...

I've tried multiple seal pullers and never found one that worked good
I just rampage with flat screwdriver's now.

Another tote.



I took most of the bigger bits out and found places for them. Many small parts in envelopes to go through.



I'm guessing 30 or more carburetor kits as well.

At least he's already scratched the tank up, so you don't have to worry about that...

These are almost free give aways in my neck of the woods. If the diaphrams in the cv carbs are good, check the oil screen for blockages/restrictions (prevents overheating), most models requires a side case removal to get to it.

I had a 68CB, A 70sl and a pair of 360's. the 6 speed addition was a sweet addition for the current models.

Neighbor wanted a budget rebuild on a 272 so I put a 11.00 raisman kit in it
And a carb kit with a fuel line
With a new true blue starter rope.

Just have to tune it in wood today
That's the original oem top cover
It faded weird.
Here's my kit I carry in the truck I'm always working on something at somebody's house.
