What's on your bench now?

I dont think that the xtorque cylinder will work. Find a used oem jug with a Meteor piston and don't look back.

 

This is from the 2166. Isn’t this xtorq like?

 

Got this dissected ,and AWP . Poulan 245A ,74CC’s . Interesting Flywheel/starter set up . The starter pulley/ pawls are under the flywheel . Had to change the rope ,so it was interesting to do . Needs a carb rebuild fuel lines ,clutch bell , and a gasket for the reed block . The saw was running poorly/ erratically when it was put u years ago . I found the cork gasket in the reed block not sealing . So, if it isn’t the entire cause , it was contributing . Also have a Poulan 25 Top handle to sort out from the same guy .

 

I greatly prefer oe saws 365 and 371 372 372xpw to the xt line.
Better performance and a much lighter piston.
Imho the saws last longer with the lighter pistons
I usually convert xt to xp but dj on ope ported a new 2166 into a 2172 that's a very good running saw.
huskihl what's your thoughts?

 

That's a xt saw

 

Here's a real 50mm 372 oem kit
Just to show the difference.

New intake boot and one of those, it’s a 372xp

 

Yes

 

On your Xtorq conversions, what carb have you been using?

I’ve built up one XT to OE so far... I used the XT carb. OE intake boot (rotated), intake clamp, and plastic flange. I also had to mess with the throttle cable a bit to get it to go WOT. It seems “ok” so far.

I’m still figuring what I want to do. Cylinder cleaned up pretty good but no is missing a spot of plating. Below the exhaust. I don’t know if that is too worrisome

 

Actually the best performance I've got was with
A Dolmar 7900 carb poleman modified.
The stock xt carb did good too.

 

Can you feel the vertical line's above the ports?

 

Not on my bench but in 98* heat today
My niece traded a dodge neon lol
For this 12x12 insulated building
Lifetite makes them here very sturdy and insect and rodent proof.
We put a 3/4 4ft deck around it
And eventually vinyl siding and railing Rocky immediately moved in underneath it
I'm new this generation of cordless tools
But very impressed.
I ran over 3lbs of 3 1/2 inch deck screws on one charge of my makita impact
And all the decking on one charge of the Milwaukee framing nailer.
Beats the days of hand building houses
I helped build several. Here's one someone built near me
Very nice on a concrete pad and plenty of piers

 

very faint can I feel it. There are two and I put a lot of effort there.

HL had the 372XP Xtorq on sale this weekend for about a hundge. So rather than loose sleep over it, I pulled the trigger.

 

Nothing major, but I worked on my cousin's Stihl 018 yesterday cuz it quit running on him. He had just had it tuned up at the hardware store where he bought it. Chinese plug and filthy air filter were the culprits... I asked him how they could have "tuned" it up for him without using an air compressor on the air filter... let alone swap it to a new one. They put a new chain on it and sharpened his old chain... I re-sharpened it. The depth guages had never been touched. The clutch bell spur is way beyond needing replaced so a new one is on the way. The bar had never been flipped and had some serious burrs on it, all better now. I took the muffler off and cleaned the screen, no scoring in the jug. He doesn't know much about chainsaws but has used it a lot over the years cleaning up storm damage and downed limbs and such. His son and brothers all use it too. It has been rode hard and put away wet, but really is still in pretty good shape overall.

I did take it out and made few cuts with it just to make sure it was running ok and oiling properly. I was impressed with it for being so small and light. I cut through a 10" ash log and was surprised at the performance. I could carry that thing around the woods all day easily it is so light.

 

Stihl 075 going back together.

 

When is the 064 getting put back on the bench?

 

I plan on it after 075. Boxed it all up to make way for the 75

 

Intrested in following that one.

 

Getting closer on the 075. May be able to fire it tomorrow.
I need to find a bar and chain. The ones it came with are barely still rusted together.
