What's on your bench?

[breese]

I am going to clean the old one up to use in another saw.

Are we talking to JMS???? Does this Not sound like something he would do?

Awhile ago I seen a posting about someone cleaning up an old blade (rusted) with Limes and Lemons.
So, today I decided to give this a shot with my 1958 Homelite EZ that was my grandfathers.
The roller end I am using Lime, the other half Lemon.
Should be interesting...

254 XP for my Dad, original cases were junk. Replaced with a set of 261 cases, new bearings, gaskets and seals, Meteor piston, carb kit, clutch drum, rim, clutch drum bearing, bar pad plate, and muffler. Almost done now just waiting on a few smalls, like a fuel tank.

it looks great Joe!
Did you order new fuel tank, or are you waiting for a used one?
If you need a tank I'm pretty sure that I got a spare one and I plan to ship over something to the states inside a month

You got me on him. I never dealt with him or would have ever. Seems that was your baby to deal with

I do it all the time and have many saws out there like that and known doing it. Some ask me to do it for them.
Called the cheapest route Redneck or aftermarket or oem.

saws dont need to be perfect LOL have some out there with scored pistons still cutting for 5-10 years now

Get a container so the bar will fit in it. Then pour in white vinegar until its covered. Then let it sit for a few hours to a day or so. All depends on how bad the rust is.

Before after on ext side. Was some mild scoring on ext and intake side.

Still do my cleaning by hand.

After cleaning by hand then ball hone to put crosshatch .

int side shown too even though I cant find pic. But was from top to bottom right at ring pin.

echo black oem for lines impulse etc 3x5 3x6

Low hours saw with no carbon even in ext.

 

[Cut4fun]

Shes a runner. 20" just for testing purpose and what they come with. I like 16" on the 3ci size saws myself.

Installing an adjustable trigger, master spring kit, and polishing the action on a Sig P220 Stainless Elite. I already installed Extreme G10 grips and x-ray3 night sights.

What is the “bar” in the vice? Looks handy

That's a Homelite410 chain vise. He has a thread on them in the "Just Chains" forum.

Beaglebriar has it correct, but that particular one is my second custom one from Mike. It has more beef for holding the drivers better.

What's different? Top rail just heavier/beefier?

IIRC, the top rails get another machining step so filing jigs can be used with his vices. I’ll never need to worry about that, and appreciate the extra beef for square filing. So I asked him if he could leave the material there .......... way better for me.

BR600 back pack blower, with no compression. Squirted two stroke oil on piston, no change, took the muffler off, could hear air escaping out the exhaust valve. Squirted oil on the valve through the port, compression for a couple cycles and it would wear off. Repeat, the same. So I checked, plenty of lash, so that was not it. Decided to really squirt some oil in it and left for a whole day. Compression was returned. Must have been some carbon or something built up in there pretty good. So I set the valve lash with the little Stihl tool and put back together and ran. blew a little smoke from my oil squirting but ran just fine after that, and I didn't have to tear the entire machine down to get to the end result.

when i get a 4mix in like that i use deep creep on it. will burn all the carbon out. been doing it for years
