The new Tilly is Chinese.
That stuff lays down nice. Silicon bronze?
Yes. Wicks in nice, but thank heavens for flat black paint.

And my hybrid spacers attached the same way. The custom spacers are nice pieces, but the torch was already 3 inches from the nuts. Saved the recipients $10-12 each. Why not.

I'm building an Asian 660 with Blue covers. Decided to do this project when one of my tree guys gave me an 066 in a box. No crank, few bolts, and tank holder was broken.

I was going to use the OEM cases, but the chain adjuster on this Asian one is very smooth, so I figured I will use the AM cases and save the originals.

I used the OEM control lever so I will have a high idle, and I will use an OEM piston pin bearing, a Meteor Piston, and the OEM cylinder. The rest of the saw will be Asian 660.

This will likely be my last build before Tax Season.

It will be the first time I try porting an OEM 066 cylinder. Wish me luck!

Assembled the case with my HF heat gun, a hammer and the bolts. Was very pleased that both of the pre installed seals still look to be good.

I heat the bearing for the flywheel side first, and the crank just slips right in. The second side is always a little more difficult, but I think I have it down pretty good now. I can't heat the second bearing as much because it has a nylon race, but I get it warm and tap the case down till it starts on the case pins. Then I start the case bolts with the gun on a very light setting (I use a 5 setting on my DeWalt 18V). I do like a toque pattern, and occasionally tap with the hammer to free up any binding. I do the entire bolt pattern a bunch of times, and when it finally all comes together I raise the gun to a 10 setting and tighten them for the final time.

I then printed a picture of a degree wheel from the net, put a cardboard backing on it, then some closed cell foam with a tight hole in it to grip the crank. All low cost stuff, but it works for me. (Good enough for who it's for!). Hopefully this will be running before too long.

The new Tilly, the “Ex-Change” are the same China carb that’s available for $20 with an Tilly marked cover on them.

To the best of my knowledge, the Tilly 43b is no longer in production. I have one or 2, but it seems that they are finicky and tough to rebuild well. They were made in Ireland.


DDave has brand new HE 20A carbs in stock. I picked one up a couple of months ago for ~$75.00 It ran perfect, tuned easy and held. Pretty sure it said Ireland on it.

Very good MustangMike hope she's a strong runner for you.

If one really cares, you can brush and light up again on it.

I don’t care in this situation, but on stainlesss without paint, you can do other things. Like pulse pedal to create stacks or just smooth it out.

Damn, Doc, those look almost oem. Better than 1/2 the oem mufflers around

EBay 340 being converted to 353 (was supposed to be 346, buuuuuut.....).

Got a random phone call at almost 2200 last night, a very eccentric old man who was referred to me by one of the tree services. He apparently has a whole slew of saws and wants a couple of the older ones looked at. Going to try to meet up with him today and take a look, will try to get pics.
