Yes sir.
I like the idea of a welded model tag for the shroud. We can consider about anything that would fit in that small space, but "FHC" would be cool I...
The one in the pic will win the ugly contest!
I have to joke a bit here . . . you've spent too much time working on Contras . . . no "fins" on the recoil of 1128 saws! :D
Nope. Not taking it too far at all! When I saw the taped handle I started to wonder if we should use that instead of the 046 tank housing I set...
I like 'em slow. When I got my first 090G (for those unfamiliar with them, 2:1 gear reduction on an already slow saw) I joked with my buddy Joe...
Nothing weird there Brad - what I love best about these old saws is bringing them back to life. It's really fun to think about what they've been...
Okay, I got the first batch of donor parts today from ELECT6845 - a couple of carcasses and a box of goodies to pull from. Thanks Joe! [ATTACH]
Thanks John!
A few quick shots of the current state of the reassembly process. So far it has new bearings, seals, fuel tank gasket, oil tank gasket, and NOS...
Unfortunately it's not a Super, but that's okay because neither is the owner!! :rofl: :lol:
I hear ya. I wanted to keep this Contra at the top of the list due to the help from FHC members and this thread. I have an 041 Super I want to...
Nope. Kroil and and prying with a pick (very carefully) to get the old rings out and then used a section of the old rings to clean the grooves in...
I actually have an update! Things have slowed down for a minute, so I've started making some progress on putting this joker back together. Each...
Sounds good Joe - thanks!
Excellent. And yes, if you don't mind go ahead and send the recoil assembly - if for some reason we don't use it I'll ship it back to you. I'm...
Okay, here is our current list of parts if I have everything. The definitely list: 440 case set 440 crank 046 tank housing 044 plastics (filter...
I don't believe so. You get what you get. If we buy a new piston we'll just have to take what shows up.
The numbers used on the 046 were HD8, 9, 14, 16, and 24.
We will obviously accept any gracious donations for this saw, but if we want to stack the deck in our favor for racing here is what I've been told...
