What's on your bench now?

The chip didn't come with instructions so I wired it as a negative ground like any others I've used. Found that drawing online. I wasn't aware that some saws have positive ground like old tractors. I'll reinstall the chip as positive ground and report back my findings.

 

Makes me kinda wonder who held onto the negative ground theory the longest, for production stuff, and till what year.

 

Finished the other 272 the Ducati ignition coil died so I used a Chinese coil
New seals,carb kit,fuel line and hl supply hd air filter kit

 

If it does the same thing wired as positive ground, then it must be the remmy coil doesn't play nice with modernish technology. Lol.

 

This makes about 30 to 40 of these china rims I've bought about they are only about a 1.50 each
They've held up great for me.
Oregon went to 9.00 per at my local shop I get 10 of these for 16.00 shipped.

 

Checking to see how this Sachs Dolmar 133 Super might clean up.
I’m not optimistic the rest of the cover will follow the filter cap, but hopeful

 

I love that series Dolmar! Have a 133 and had a 143 full wrap I wish I wouldn’t have got rid of.

 

That poor Husky cover in the background has had a hard life.

 

Poking at 357XP rebuild
HDA 199 choked with dust.
I see a lot of this

 

Sucked through the filter, or broke fuel line?

 

I got this saw without a filter with it

 

Adds fuel filtration…

 

Just a few fines in the carb. That should be ok.

 

Keeping the chain sharp is highly over-rated.

 

I got this very beat 288xp in for a rebuild
It's had some bad repair work done to it
It has 6 different fasteners on it
But the crank and bearings are still good

My friend gave me 24 of these 20 gallon containers
I break down saws and put them in the containers until the parts arrive
I can fit 4-6 in each one

 

I like the big buckets! I’ve got a few plastic totes that work pretty good. Definitely an improvement over oil soaked cardboard. Especially when the smalls get under the flaps and you don’t find them until after you ordered new!

 

Those containers have been a hit
I now have 34 of them they are as handy as a shirt pocket as the old saying
I use them to store everything.
Tools,saws, reloading equipment etc.
They also make excellent portable seats
Lol I have a few in my shop
I've sold about 200 of them
People are using them for planters for tomatoes and cucumbers building a trellis above them
Farmer's and horse owner's bought most of them.

These 15 gallon one's are not as popular as the smooth lid 20 gallons are.

 

Rebuilt that 288 today
I used a hyway piston kit kit
Since it has a Briggs and Stratton pull start I used a Briggs coil wire to fix it
The decomp and carb fuel barb were leaking badly I think that's what scored it
So I plugged the decomp and put a new am carb in
It started on the second pull and I tuned it in wood
It held it's tune and is easy to start.

 

A neighbor is bringing me a 288 and a 272
He had three shops work on them and couldn't fix them
Apparently if it's not a bad sparkplug they won't work on it.
