What's on your bench?

[drf256]

MS462 I am building for myself.

What a pita of a saw to do for not a whole lot of gain. But who can leave a saw stock?

Easy to go backwards on this one.

I’m on it
Thanks

Square the intake but don't widen it much. Widen the exhaust to 65% of the bore, advance the timing and make a hole in the rectangular indent behind the deflector. It'll run pretty good. Cross pop up piston is a good addition.

I was going widen the intake a little and lower it a little.
Not following on “square the intake”.

Thanks for the 65%. I was heading toward 70.
Somewhere close to 10 degrees on the advance.
And muffler as you said, with a little widening of the hot dog holes existing

Joe, that is one funky looking intake on that saw!!!

Any explanation regarding the purpose of that shape?

BigMac is correct the intake is shaped that way because of the bolt locations in the block.

Makes more sense than anything I was thinking!

My buddy's XL-12. Reassembled the carb and sharpened the chain. Still waiting for intake gaskets.

Can you show off those red blue and green gadgets (Tools) on the wall behind your Homelite? You have aroused my curiosity. Thanks in advance.

I was checking that partner cylinder over for a guy. Turns out it is a 50mm closed port p+c set. So would make a good set for a 70 700 7000 partner. I was thinking it was going to be a 48mm open port by the number on research.

Should work on any 55 65 70 is someone is restoring one.

I will for sure! I'm getting ready to head out to the garage shortly.

Do the top handles slide side to side?

I was fishing for the brand and your opinion of them as well as if the T27 was long and slender to do Stihl cylinder work, durability, cost factor etc. Have not seen these specific tool and as I mentioned you made me curious. Thanks for your replies.

Homelite hedge trimmer. New fuel lines, filter and carb kit. Carb took a bath in the ultrasonic cleaner. Did some cleanup earlier today and also finished up my buddy's xl-12 this morning

Some of the powerbuilt stuff is actually pretty decent. Might have to order a set of those up!

I have a few of their tight clearance ratchets and I actually prefer them over the expensive tool truck brands I have.

The Remington starter/cover is just for looks, the saw is set up for the Fairbanks Morse starter...I am waiting on one coming from Chris Bean...in fact it may be waiting in the post office but I didn't get there during their open hour today. I couldn't resist and spun it over with the drill and a prime, seems to fire off just fine.

Neat saw I have one here that fires on prime.
