The issue is that with the saw been older than a Husqvarna rifle they no longer make them.

Good evening. Will any newer saw clutches fit a 285cd? The drum is good but the actual clutch is goosed.

Both cylinders have transfers in the walls as oppose to the base by the look of them.

So if I were to port it the windowed would be the better option as it increases flow.

I’m a little confused. The first cylinder is 50mm bore with a solid piston whereas the third is 50mm with a piston that has windows. Why the difference?

Can I swap a 266 cylinder and piston for a 268 combo? I know the covers are different but everything after the cylinder will be off the 266 saw. Do I need a 268 intake block though? The only reason I’m doing this is availability, I can get a meteor 268 but not a 266.

They can always shut their windows. 😉

It’s such a shame she cannot be heard over the sound of her own ovaries. I like a woman in overalls but ffs!

Like this?

Not sure what I’d make of someone in the car park sat on the car bonnet with a welding lid on, just watching.

Ported my 372xp. Original numbers were 100 exhaust opens transfers at 120 and intake at 72. I increased the inlet duration to 154 with a curved bottom to lessen intake roar and raised the exhaust to 98 and flattened the top. Both ports got widened to 70% of the bore and the lower transfers got matched to the case. I can confirm she is a runner and despite the massive increase in the intake doesn’t fall on its arse.

Fabricator welder can vary. Some jobs round here are paying 14 quid a hour. Probably jig mig work on mild steel. A skilled stainless fabricator can get 18 quid. Pipe welding would be 18+ paye. A subcontractor pipe welder well the sky is the limit. I would fall into the stainless fabricator who can pipe weld camp. Decent money I know. But when you have an itch you have to find out what it would be like to scratch it. It seems we have two camps, don’t do it, it’s a shit job paying peanuts and then the other, which is “I did it and never looked back”

Ah I thought you ment ndt but in the arb sector.

NDT? As in Lola testing?

Seems like most experienced voices are saying no. Will have to stick to what I know and do the tree work as a weekend job.
