What's on your bench now?

It went on the bench this morning. Figured if it starts like a flooded saw it must be. Pressure tested the carb through the fuel line in the tank and after two pumps, the bench was a puddle of gas coming out the venturi. Meter valve not holding at all.
Pressure tested a carb from a parts saw and held. Swapped carbs and it’s a runner!

 

Oh he got it done alright!
Looks pretty sweet on my bench next to my trusty old 55!

 

who’s in the middle? 288?

 

Yep. Waiting on a carb and fuel line. Hopefully be able to fire it up by the weekend. It was a full tear down rebuild

 

Ps it’s not a lite. That’s just the replacement recoil cover..

 

I ordered a carb kit for the Jonsey and it was supposed to arrive this past Saturday the 23rd. USPS has been absolutely horrible.


I had the saw all together and gave it about 3-4 pulls and it started puking fuel out of the decomp valve and muffin. When I had it tore down, I only looked at the pump diaphragm. It was spotless in there so I thought I was good. Turns out the other diaphragm had what looked like a kink in it.
And I decided to clean up the original cylinder. Looks like some serious detonation.



I used a Mike (T4 driller) trick to clean up the squish band.


A little mini shop vac nozzle fit in the piston, then a drill bit extension into the drill.


Yahtzee. Wish I would have tore down the saw before I bought the full kit. I could have gotten away with just a piston replacement.


This piston fooled me pretty good through the exhaust port. I figured the cyl. was toast.

 

I like that trick!

 

Metering valve screen from a Walbro WT 194 on the left. Plastered!

 

Had a couple of those lately. Even when pulling out the tiny Welch plugs, finding that good stuff under them.

 

This is more like what I’ve come across. Mostly wet gunk sucked up from a tank I should’ve rinsed or rinsed better. Or Homelite fuel lines that disintegrate into shards of plastic

 

Yummmm...

 

Picked up a bucket of 162SE today. Only thing missing, so far, was a chain tensioner and clutch cover/brake. No b/c either.
Pulled those from a 61 parts saw and put it together just to have look.
Piston looks ok.
This one might be next once I get parts and finish what’s in pieces now.

 

Yikes, I'd like to see the intake side of that piston.

 

ill share
But yeah, that’s powder coat on that intake!

 

Ahhh air filters are over rated....

 

Finished the 288

On to an 042av that needed some freshening up for a friend.

 

I've broke 3
ropes and a am 272 recoil on this 266xp with a 268xp cylinder and a 268 hyway popup
No base gasket.
I need to comp test it.
I replaced the starter pawls and springs today
And rebuilt the original 266 recoil with
True blue
I've never broken true blue
I only have three tanks on it
Feels very strong for a non ported saw.

 

My sister's 5 year old generator
It only had 5 hour's on it
It quit during last months ice storm.
I tore it down
Turns out the intake valve stem
Snapped off at the collet
Poor heat treatment looks like.

 

Got some of my favorites ready yesterday
For cutting this spring all the ice storm damage.

My tomcat drug in a feral kitten
It's tamer now.

Can you change the title to 20/21
I can't adjust it.
