What's on your bench now?

What the heck is the synthetic strap with plastic insert?

 

I think it might be a limiting strap to protect the antivibe from over travel.

 

Being a Husky they put that there in order to keep the pieces from falling on the ground when it breaks.

Sorry ; couldn't help myself.

 

Neighbor dropped off this nice 288
He'd had it at a couple of shops
And they couldn't fix it

I'll fix it this week
He also brought me this 272
It just needs a piston kit and carb kit,fuel line etc.

He gave me this 257 it's in good shape with great compression I'll fix it after the other 2 are done.

 

Fixed the 288
The Husqvarna dealer or the other shop he had it at left the carb and ignition module loose and stole or lost his air filter
I replaced the crank seals and oil pump
O ring

It runs strong returned it today
He was very surprised
I don't think he ever got to run it
He bought it non running.

 

I took a look at the 257 what felt like good compression was a mud daubers nest

Going to convert it to a 262

 

I put a amazon 262 cylinder kit on the 257
The air horn and air dam were so brittle they crumble I had to file the side of the cylinder so the flywheel would clear

It runs strong with great compression I was tuning it in wood it needs seals
I'll change them tomorrow.

 

I did the seals today but still need a 262 intake manifold
I thought I had one but I don't
If anyone does seals on these
Put a little gasket maker on the oring and fasteners
I use motoseal but whatever your flavor.

 

Put rings and seals and a carb kit in a nice 260

 

you do nice job on the body clean up
What is that you used to get over shoulder so the seal didn’t roll?
I like the window on pasta boxes. Real thin.

Bin putzin with this one for almost 3 months.

 

I have a 3600 psi pressure washer
It takes everything off and I don't care about sticker's
1.00 foaming shower cleaner loosens most stuff before I pressure wash it.
I usually use a pop can so slide the seals over the shoulder
This was a motoseal package window.

 

Stopped at my niece's and got her saws ready
Heavy rains yesterday brought a lot of tree's down and very high winds today
The electric is flashing on and off.
I carry this saw box in the truck usually when I visit there's something to work on



I had too many saws setting around year's ago and I gave her and her husband a 028 wood boss and 028 super
A jonsereds 920 her husband actually used to run logging for a friend that passed away
And a chusky 372 I built
He likes the 372 the best.

 

Rebuilt my neighbors 272 he wanted a budget build so I threw a 11.00
Raisman piston kit on it
Good looking piston with good fitment
I use the oem circlips from the old pistons
I rebuilt the carb and new fuel line
I heat cycled today
tomorrow I'll tune it in wood
That's the original oem top cover it faded weird.

 

Stopped at my friends he loaded 11 saws for me to fix
He needs this 395 for a tree job

After I pressure washed it I've got a new piston kit,seals and carb kit on order.

 

Slightly jealous.

 

BRAD's little 201 sits on my bench now. Slight damage from a tree. Needs a new top handle and some air filter assembly parts.
Got to repay some of the favors he has done for me.

 

395's don't have that solid resin intake block. Maybe he just replaced the recoil cover?

 

Yep it's a 394 I typed wrong

 

Only 2 pro saws 394 and 372 the rest are homeowner crap.

 

Here you go Stihl boy's
