What's on your bench?

[Moparmyway]

Running is one thing, running at it's best is another. Most saws (not all) will benefit from some back pressure.

It depends on how it is ported.

I have. If you don't have enough adjustment left in your carb, you will loose low end. Hate to quote him, but the AH was right on that one!

I've also seen saws not idle right or spool up with too much opening. It may be just a can, but timing the pulses is important. Just like your most accurate loads in the gun will correspond with the barrel at the high or low point of the whip. It may not be a sophisticated tool, but it is a tool!

Fooled just about everyone at the Ct gtg. Ran like she was ported, only she is brand new and bone stock, except for the muffler mod. She idled smoothe as wet silk, accelerated and slowed down very quickly. Heck, I even milled with her in front of everyone.

What???

I can't hear ya....

where are you finding parts for them saws? Like seals and bearings maybe a piston?

Seals are still available, bearings are just 6202's.
The Piston is mint in this one, so I'm just going to put a new ring on it.
The only piston that I have found in a little red Barn one.
Some of the stuff is starting to go NLA for them. So I would order up anything you need while you can.
Most good Husky dealers can get Poulan parts if to have a part number.

Is that why all the race guys cut huge holes straight out the front. To time the pulses for more power?
Sorry, have to disagree.

Faster you can get rid of it the better. But like I said not always user friendly. And there's always adjustment in the carb, it might be in the form of a drill though

Cool thanks.

She turned out nice.

Yeah, I once started my PS-7900 in my dads "shop" without a muffler!
I was so surprised by the level of noise my finger couldn't locate the kill switch for a couple moments.
My ears were ringing the entire remainder of the day.

I hope Your parcel gets delivered soon!

I was lucky to have thw garage door open and was standing at the edge of the driveway.

It wasn’t a dig at you about the muffler; I know shipping overseas takes time especially US customs. I was just super excited to give it a test run.

Shipping is really slow this time!
But it isn't the first time it is taking this long.

Once the package reaches the US I have no insight about its whereabouts, it just says "Receive item at office of exchange (Inb)" and then eventually "Deliver item (Inb)".
No info what happens to the package in between those two states.

I was neither thinking nor implying that You were digging at me about the muffler!
I'm just genuinely sorry that delivery is taking so long.

The fastest delivery from me to an US address was 7 days, the recipient and me were both pleasantly surprised.
I'm guessing it was a rare exception where everything aligned just right.

She’s comin, not just breathing heavy...

Spray paint removed....
Yes the tank was painted also...
There was a bright copper metallic color underneath the maroon also...
Appeared to be about 4 coats...

Anyone ever broken a spark plug?


I apparently broke the ceramic while I was working on the 2065/372 and didn’t notice. Commenced to making a test cut and the saw seized up. Brought it back in the garage and start to look it over, went to pull the plug and the ceramic was shattered and the metal center was still stuck in the plug wire. Look in the cylinder and there was all sorts of scoring and damage. Ordered a new P/C.....

Race saws are different, the carbs are often drilled, and no one cares if the idle, etc.

Just like drag racers don't have collectors on their headers, does not mean that collectors don't serve an important function on most other engines.

Most of us run "woods port", not full race.

Exactly right mike.

The motoseal needs to sit or I already would of tried it. I am missing the screw for the chain brake handle/ recoil. Is it the same screw as the other 3 on my recoil? Thanks. I had a struggle getting the tank on! Lol my fingers hurt.

Yep same screw. What was the issue with installing the tank?

That hurts reading that.

I’m in the process of building new bench.

Got a great deal on two 46 inch Huskys that are unusual in that they are 24” deep instead of just 18”. Figured they would be the perfect candidates for this workbench build I have been kicking around for a bit.

Should be done with it tomorrow.

They are awesome! I want one or two! Lol!

I dunno, just no talent lol. Had to slide it sideways, never done this series of saws.

I have an extra one of thise screws if you need one.

Not as much as it hurt seeing it. No pics yet, I grabbed a beer and walked away. That’s what I get for working on less than an hour of sleep.
