What's on your bench?

Ain't saw related...I know a lot of you guys works on many small engines whether chainsaws, mowers, atv's, etc, etc. I've got a Husqvarna 22" self-propelled push mower with a Honda GCV160 on it. I've had the same air filter in it for the last two years and blow it out with an air nozzle after every use so it's ready to roll the next time. I looked online to pick up another couple of air filters for it and the cheapest I could get Honda filters was $10-12 each. I bought these four exact fit OEM replacement filters, shipping included, for $7.14...and they shipped from friggin Ireland, for that price. Took about 10-12 days to get here but wasn't in dire straits so that was fine. They are exact when compared back to back with the OEM Honda filter...size, thickness, etc. Just exactly what does Honda have tied up in their filters...other than an inkjet printed name and p/n, and a 1000% markup? WTF over..??

The Briggs and Stratton 491588S will fit and work, same filter and can usually be had for $5.00 - $7.00. I agree with Honda filter prices being too high, just plain silly sometimes.

What @Onan18 Said. I've done it a thousand times. Cheaper and works the same. All the same dimensions filter and can also find it at most hardware stores.

I put this timing wheel together today. I used someone's idea on a 1/2" drill chuck, But I made a change to the one I seen. The wheel center is 1" and the drill center is 3/4. So I took up the gap with a 1/8 hydraulic o-ring. The oring did 2 things. It centers the wheel and with the bolt tight it still allows it to slip so you can adjust the wheel without Rechucking. It's chucked to my flywheel tool.

Mind if i ask a question ?? the bar, have seen the sort you are showing on the site but i havnt ever seen one over here. Whats the thing about them ...is it a friction reducer having the disk tip.

What's the background story on this saw? I seem to remember somethings about an 044 and your brother??? I could be wrong here maybe it was someone else, I'm not sure now. Anyway the back ground story is?

As many pieces as that one is in, UhOh44 might be a little bit more appropriate. JK. Good luck with your build.

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

This will be an interesting race. Lol.

Your spot on!
Its my brothers saw.
I was not overly happy with how it ran and remembered I had issues with tight bearings when I put it together.
I pulled the top end off and the bearings were still very tight so I stripped it to start again.
Got the case together today and the crank spins freely now, but I bent a crank seal while I was installing it so I now need to order more.

For the next time this happens to you, try a sharp rap to the crankshaft with a brass hammer, or better yet use one of those screw on flywheel pullers and use a steel hammer. This seems to get everything wiggle jiggled back in its happy place, and negate a tear down.

Your right. Sometimes you have to relieve the Bearing preload. But I always do it anyway.

 

[Brewz]

Oh I tried banging it every way possible.
I have learnt a bit since I built it the first time and now relieve the bearing by tapping its outer race out from the inside of the saw with a pin punch.

One good tap and it centres.

I don't like hitting the shaft as the lateral force on the bearing can damage it.
