That Homelite 1050 Super is just like the one we had at work called it the slider saw! (If you ran that saw all day you would be ready to slide up to the table)
bought some builder's cleaned them up today should have enough parts for 2 266s 2 268s and one maybe 2 272s going to try a couple of the hyway 268 popup pistons in a 266 and a 268.
You guys are killing me with all your saw scores! I’m praying that the pawn shop where I found my 372 has something of interest this weekend when I get there.
So when you are in the garage at 6am taking care of a few saw related things and this happens to the 272....
034 super I picked up s few weeks ago. Did the muffler today although it was pretty much empty from the factory.
I moved my bench to the cellar for the winter but today was too nice to not be in the garage with the doors open. So I grabbed this guy to poke. 181SE I got about a year and half ago. Have only run in the cumbys parking lot where I bought it. 165#. Piston is near mint. Have a 372xp OE on the bench and a few parts ordered. Not sure if I’ll buff this one up after that or jump into 029 Super conversion to 039.
I was curious to see how it or if it ran this morning. Only thing I did was an Airfilter clean and adjust the idle a little lower. And bend the spark arrestor cover back to near normal.
Now there is a Jigsaw Puzzle, I won't touch. I Enjoy RUNNING saws, but I am admittedly no mechanic, I wouldn't even know where to start, to put that puzzle together. Doug
Find a toasted 350 and I think you might find it’s not as puzzling as it can look. You might even develop CAD through saw rehab. Be Carefull of that Letting the Yama Bond. Went from about an 043 to about 026 squish. Ring were still pretty good so I kept them, but I swapped bottom for top and vice versa. Not sure what I’m going to do with the muffler. I’ve got a handful of Red97 deflectors to choose from.
I already have a severe case of CAD and CSMAD as well, I don’t have enough time for those, never mind getting into rehabbing saws. Doug
