So I had that issue with one new clutch shoe being a little bigger than the other five. Well... I don't anymore.and my broke 1050 clutch cover... Fixed!still wouldn't mind having a good one!

I have the clutch out of my 1050... Broke shoe. So I ordered one new shoe and it is 3/64" fatter than the old ones. Should I cut it down, or just run it?View attachment 43610

It looks like there may be enough travel on the adjacent shoes to bind the spring. I think you will find the one longer shoe will slip and wear your drum prematurely.

That clutch cover looks sweet!

For lack of better ideas at the time I came up with this 036/MS360 oil line hack, with a piece of tygon and some automotive silicone sealant. Not politically correct, but then neither is the whole build.

All I could think of when I was using the arbor press to put the crankshaft in the case halves was, if only @Mastermind and @Tor R could see me now, they would really rip into me for doing this the way I am. Actually though it went off without a hitch, I warmed the bearings in the case with a heat gun to 200F, that I checked with my fancy little temperature zapper gizmo, dabbed a bit of grease on the seals and had the crank outside at 20F it slid right in with hardly any effort at all on my part. I put a cold chisel between the two counterbalances as a shim to keep crank straight, then used a seal/bearing driver tool to do the pushing. Again, not correct but I got away with it again.
I know, I know, I have to get those crank pulling tools...

That tygon will melt.

Rhu, rho Rhaggy. Suggestion?

Dont think about us, we are so old and senile that we rarely pick up correct tool

Stihl makes an oil line kit. Follow the directions carefully. Get two of em...just in case.

The original was brittle cracked and leaking, which lead me to believe it sucked and maybe another avenue would be better. Thank you for saving a future failure, I'll look up that kit, and get it coming. Have to go back in there anyways, by the looks of that picture, I forgot the darn little plastic cap on the oil pump. Figures I've that whole side complete now, brake, clutch and dust cover. Dirty ol' Stihl's .

The instructions will have you drilling the hole in the case out a wee bit, and drilling a hole in an old pair of needlenose. Also use a little silicone grease on the oil pump nipple.

a oem oil line kit will do 2 if done right length

 

[Stump Shot]

Well it was @Definitive Dave to the rescue once again, have two coming, thank you Dave. And thank you @Mastermind for completely ruining my totally NON-original saw build with OEM parts. LOL Seriously though, thanks for saving me yet another headache. Darn dirty ol' Stihl's.

Knocked out an old tecumseh generator. Had been sitting for several years and has leakage out the exhaust valve. Checked clearance and there was none. Removed head, ground the stem and lapped the valve. Checked the intake and went ahead and lapped it as it had a bit of carbon build up. Got all that back together. Went through the carb and WOW. Greenest carb I had ever seen. Soda blasting almost wasn't enough. Got that all cleaned, flushed the tank and replaced the fuel line and she roared to life. After some tuning she ran like a top. And $204 later it was out the door. haha

Also got an 064 knocked out that needed the fuel system gone through and a new clutch drum.
