What's on your bench?

Speaking of thrown away saws due to fuel system trouble. I picked up a straight gassed husqvarna 371 cheap and he threw these 2 in free because they hadn't run in years. 2 carb kits later they both run just fine.

That is a sweet looking echo.

Cleaned up the Mahle cylinder, was some bad casting spots in the transfers, could not stand to leave them. Smoothed intake and polished exhaust. Has a couple broken fins, so was a good candidate for myself. Had a Hyway piston here so figured I would try it out. Clutch cover and handle are from HL Supply as well.

Getting real close. Waiting on a few items to show up yet. Mainly a starter and muffler.

I have a couple of cleaned up MS290s awaiting the parts to start their new life as MS390s...

Did some parts cleaning on the 034, good thing I'm not logging my time on this, and it is for me! There is a good size hole in the filter cover that was patched and hidden under all the dirt. Then the recoil looked a bit sloppy, so I took it apart, and about when the slinky thing looked like a pile of spaghetti, I said to myself what the heck did you do?

I just have to keep telling myself it is OK, it is a learning experience!

Oh, and SS, the reason I liked your "German" thread so much is cause I don't have a parts cleaner, and every time I start picking dirt out of all the nooks and crannies on one of these things, well, let's just say I agree with you!

You'll have less hair on the top of your head before you are done. Lol

I have a parts cleaner but seldom use it. I have a square plastic tub about 18" X 14" that I fill with Industrial Simple Green and soak parts in it overnight then hose them off the next day and dry them off. That cleans them up fairly well but sometimes if they're really cruddy I scrape the muck off them a little first..

Makes me wonder how many saws just get thrown in the trash due to lack of fuel system maintenance.

People expect to leave them sitting for 6 months and that they'll fire up and run like tops. Then they blame us or the manufacturer instead of realizing that it's the oil companies. lol I do some much fuel system repair I'm starting to know the part numbers by heart. haha

This is what the 034 looked like when it came home, it literally was a Barn find.

Looks good Mike!

Finally had the time to assemble the 036Pro I bought last summer along with the 036 metal badge red lever. This one got since, oem piston and cylinder from a crushed saw, muffler mod with big 1/8" screen, and a timing advance. Also got a new carb and squish at .020. Hopefully I'll get a chance to see if it starts today.

Shindaiwa 575 jug.
Looks like the bore will clean up easy.

Very nice looking 036!! Had to start tearing mine down yesterday. Went to change the chain, and apparently, the last half tank of fuel or so..oiler no worky. Gotta get that figured out.

Everything........I gots a Firetruck'en mess going on.

 

[Tor R]

New year, maybe I will reach to finish those projects who is 90% done.
Have had this 372 xpg for 2 years now, it's just as complete as it was when I got it, low hour saw.

Changed coil from blue to black, and trimmed those limiters today.




Maybe it's time for me to swipe my credit card and get that chain brake handle and clutch cover!

 

[Backtroller]

The oiler is a fun one. Lots of posts on that one. I bet your tube is melted. Seemed to be the common thing on most of mine.

Some have had luck with other types of tube but I've used the Stihl kit with good results.
