What's on your bench?

[FergusonTO35]

Well, I finally have a saw on my bench, an 024 Wood Boss that I traded a running late model CraftsPoulan for a few years ago. The 024 belonged to a co-worker's father. It is complete, very dusty, and hasn't been started in about 15 years. I have all the OEM parts to give it a basic rebuild, just never got around to it until recently. The saw is more dirty and neglected than used up. The cylinder still has strong cross hatching and the piston has machine marks. The bar and chain are Stihl and look like what would have come new on a saw of that vintage. Hopefully I can have it running strong soon. Anybody got an IPL for it?

Quality issue or do you think they do it on purpose?

Well. Started up that br420 yesterday afternoon and noticed it had a weird noise at idle that went away once revved. Took it apart this morning thinking a baffle was loose in the muffler or something and found this

Ouch!!!

Trying to imagine what would cause something like that ... a bad piston ... a loose piece of metal???

Thanks Pogo!

Folks, what should I torque the four bolts holding the jug on the 024?

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

Manual says 10.5 nm or 7.7 lbf.ft.

In other words, crank em down until nice and tight with a T handle if you don't have a small torque wrench setup. You sorta feel when it's tight enough.

Honestly not sure. Cylinder looked great on the intake side. My friend fixes stuff up too. He said he's gonna run it till it dies then out a new piston and cylinder on it, so we tuned it up and it runs great? We are actually interested to see how long it will run with a broken piston skirt lol. I asked him if he wanted me to get that broken piece out and he said if we tore into it he would want to just go ahead and completely fix it now so, I'll update y'all on how tough this old br420 is lol.

Gotta do a little more fitting. Then blast and paint.

Thanks! I do have a torque wrench of the correct size.so it won't be a problem.

Working on a 2003 honda xr650r ac. Had to replace the clutch basket, bushing, and clutches. Gotta soak the clutches in oil and start reassembly.
