Cheap sports. My son manages a county airport, Coast Guard Reserves and marine mechanic. Holds several licenses and thought people spent big money on boats, until starting at airport. People fly in on jets or turbo-props, then drive down to their yacht, he has worked on before. He thought their boats where expensive, until they fly in with a Gulfstream or other high end aircraft. One gentleman asked what he needed, to build his own hanger to house his jet and 2 other planes, son knows he has a 65ft Viking at local marina.

Like so…..

Started working on a Jred 2171 that belongs to a local tree cutter. The bottom end was well oiled, but the intake side of the piston had no machine marks left. Ring end gaps were ~ 0.045”. The owner opted to use a Duke’s p&c in lieu of a now very spendy OEM piece.

The cylinder cleaned up pretty well in the USC, but the exhaust port is still nasty.

I like those pistons used a few in some 120si dolmars and seem like great quality

I have used a few and like them as well. The rings seem to be of very good quality.

It works nicely, the carburetor has two throttles, I installed a new piston Golf Even though it has a different number. It fits perfectly and is a bit heavier than the original

What kind of grinder do you have?

 

[Paul Fithian]

Harbor Freight with single burr cutters

Not worthy of the cylinder artwork thread, but will be good enough to make this 2171 a solid runner.

Looks good to me Greg!

The recent solo rebuild got a fresh carb vent/filter. It had a sheet metal screw crammed into the fuel line that caused the tank to form a vacuum.

The vent selected has a bit of clearance under the handle.
Thanks for the suggestion @Stump Shot .

Beautiful!

I'm cursed with getting clamshells this time of year everyone wants ready for firewood season
I put a clutch and sprocket and chain on this one I can't believe they sell for over 500.00
Gutless saws
Local fire department threw this Mac
10-10s away I put a carb kit and fuel line and bar and chain on it
It's much stronger than a 460
Got another 460 in this was the only issue I put a new fuel line and chain also
Somebody gave this to my elderly neighbor
He quickly sold it.

I got paid in 5 pounds of fresh tomatoes for fixing it.

I was over at my friends house the other night skinning a couple deer, and I noticed his Husky 350 was partly disassembled on the bench. I took it home to fix it up for him. Oddly it was wearing an 18” 3/8” bar & chain. The clutch had the spur sprocket, so I suspected it was .325”. Turns out I was right. Anyway, I took the crank out and re-sealed the bottom end….the bottom of the riser was warped badly, so I trued that up. The saw also had a crappy 44mm open transfer AM jug on it. I swapped that top end for a decent 45mm OEM jug I had and a flat-top AM piston. I went ahead and did a muff mod (with a brace) and a healthy timing advance as well. Hopefully it serves him well for many more years.

After making these two cuts, I had to open the high jet another 1/8 turn to get it to 4-stroke after warming up.
