What's on your bench?

[dall]

i usually send a new piston with the saw and if i dont know the history ill send hoses and do seals

 

[expert of nothing]

Powerhead is the whole saw minus the bar and chain.

No worries.

The way he said "just the powerhead" was kinda misleading... but true at the same time...

Amazing work Kevin.

How do you like those numbers Kev? I like seeing guys try different things!

Well, it's only 45cc. Lower exhaust should create more torque, and the owner is heavy handed. Keep the exhaust low, BD around 18 or 20, and widen things out. I know of another slick 346 that's running similar porting and it doesn't lose very often. If you can't beat'em, join 'em

Got the pop-up piston in my 353 today. It runs pretty strong, tuned to 13500-13800.

Was pulling a 18" .375 b/c with authority for a 50cc saw.

Need to get a video and figure out how to post it.

What did you end up with for compression?

Was only showing 160 on my gauge but I don't really trust it. Feels like more.

I'm only about .010 off the plug with the pop-up. May be able to go wider with it but I don't dare go any higher.

Got a carb from a MS180 in the little USC. A buddy at work said my little saw is bogging. New fuel line and filter and a kit should solve that!

If you ever have to rebuild those I've got three and don't want to fight those stupid annular bushings to remove the handle just drill a 5mm hole where the left front engine bolt is though the handle i hate working on these a lot less now.

Thanks I hope not to!

Seems like every tree service is using those suckers now they are actually pretty tough lol
I thought i might save someone some time im waiting on three 4.00 piston kits to come in to finish mine.

 

[Chainsaw Jim]

This beauty of a 101 will make my bench feel important for the time being. Lol

Back on track with Dave's S-10 build. I still have a ways to go but it coming together fine.

 

[XP_Slinger]

Finally pulled the carb off my 372 X-torq to re-install the carb divider. Been meaning to do it for a while because of conversations I've had in old threads about the affect of the divider on the intake pulse across the main. Tuned it up and cut some cookies, adjustments seem more responsive than they were without the divider. Saw still holds 12.3 to 12.5k in the cut so there wasn't any negative impact on performance. Giggity

Gotta do something a couple need carb cleaning, they will all get a new carb kit.
One of those 199 will get 87 shafts, a couple 182 will get 242 shafts....

I take it that new case will work just one more hole than the other case

Hey Tor nice assortment of carbs you got there! Nice to see you posting!

Tor: interested in the HDA199 carbs. Are you rebuilding them or just pulling the shafts out of them to use on the 87s?

@Mastermind did a sucessful HDA87 build by using 199 as basic carb, you know how it work, we gotta try it out and yes, its shaft swapping.
I dont know the historic to those 5×199, easiest solution is carb cleaning and new gasket kits, already ordered kits.

who designed the piece of junk needing special tools to take off and on about effin stupid if ask me lol

When they are busted up like that I just use a pair of needle nose pliers to get them out. They are a little trickier if they are in good shape and you are trying to get them out this way. I have found it is easiest to tighten them by putting a bolt in the threads and running them in. then just hold the front metal part to back the screw out.
