I have the paper style as well. Not sure I’d run that unless I was cuttin fancy square wood. Definitely get a prefilter if you keep it. Maybe they were trying to restrict flow a little w/ the tape instead of tweaking the carb. That’s a head scratcher.
I’m back together Springs are fine. Somewhere in the hit it took the handle got catywhompus and took a set pushing it to the right. I’m gently bending it back try to avoid a break. Now it wants to die at high. And it does. I want to think it the poor fit with the aftermarket fuel line; it’s more plastic than rubber. But late breaking news. Pulling the cover a minute ago to take a pic of the fuel line I saw this wet stain at the plug. I pulled the wire and the plug was loose. I had it there finger tight just to keep the chit out on rebuild but never tightened it. Tomorrow’s another day.
Glad she’s back together! More than I can say for mine it still sits with a rag over it just as I left it a few weeks ago. Hopefully snugging the plug will solve your trouble.
Thanks It didn’t do it. I still may have a fuel line kink. I may get to it this afternoon. It’s already taken too much time from my Honeydo list.
Pulled the rope a bunch and wouldn’t fire! Then I turned the switch on.... fired right up and high idled good. Gave it a couple throttle blips and back to low idle and stalled. No big deal just needs the carb tuned, pulled the rope to restart and ripped it off! Felt like something binding on the clutch side ended up being the oil worm gear slipping out of the drive from the clutch drum! I think I’ve got to look at the IPL for washer and clutch arrangements. I think there’s to much side to side play in the clutch drum letting it jump the oiler drive.
That’s a bunch of fun! Nice job Was that all widen or did you mess with the elevations too? And what of the muffler?
Just widen and match on this one.I’ve got a second cylinder I may mess with the timing on. The original muffler was crunched so I bought an aftermarket. I cut it in half gutted the entire thing and opened the outlet to match the deflector. She barks some!
Compression after a base gasket delete was around 185. I never took a reading with the gasket. Most of it's life before port work did not have BG.
Well after I got a hold of the washer for behind the worm gear and revamped the brake assembly she’s back together!!!! Sounds strong to me. What’s the wot rpm on one of these? 12? 12,5?
Stock, 12.5 Did you open up the muffin? And it's pretty easy to do a timing advance since these have a key. BGD, MM, TA and they all add up to a nice bump in performance on these. Chain Saw Collectors Corner - Gasoline Chain Saws by Manufacturer
