What's on your bench today?

[spudulike]

Depending on what you are doing to the 200 spud I may know someone who is looking for one.

 

Full rebuild Rich, it has the 020 carb already, comp at 155psi without any tweaks - just cleaning it up and repalcing parts as necessary!

 

Let me know what gives - should be ready in a week or so!

Spud. Feel free to tell me to do one but what is your normal day job?? Sorry if its been asked before but I'm just wondering.

 

Ok spud. Just a couple of people have been asking for one. I've fixed a few but a few people have asked if I know of any for sale.

 

When your ready pm me a price.

Don't know an awful lot about the history of this saw but it's vintagey for sure. Had it for a year and the rainy day came today to get stuck in. Removed approx 1/8 of a small tree from inside. Brought back to life with a carb clean and new diaphragms/gaskets, and a fix to the recoil pawl springs, rope and spring. Arm yanking compression but what a powerful saw.

 

The bar is 23ish inches and knackered.

 

It's a Sandvik bar with the following on it:

 

1765-59 1.5mm .058" 3/8" 72 dl

 

If i wanted a new smaller bar and chain how do I go about choosing? What dimensions are carried to the new bar - how can I know if the oil holes will line up ( i held an old thinner bar to it and the oil holes didn't line up with the oiler)

 

Any help apreciated.

 

Thanks folks and happy new year to all

Hey so i decided to give a spare cylinder i had lying around abit of a clean up for practise. i used caustic soda. Mainly what im asking is... can the cylinder be used? I was cleaning around the exhaust port and it feela smooth but if you look carefully there are a small group of black lines. has this scored through the nikasil?

The black lines are OK if they are not scores, they appear to be caused by heat and if you can't feel them with your fingertip then the cylinder is OK. You can usually tell if the scores are through the Nikasil as the acid/alkali will fizz along the score if it is through the plating.

 

As long as the bore is smooth, all should be OK - from the pic, it looks like there may possibly be a chip out of the top of the exhaust port???
