    New to me 046 mag

    So A while back I rebuilt a o64 with a 066 top end.. The friend that gave me that saw still had a 046 that I wanted but did not push him for it.Any way he gave it to me on Saturday and I started taking it apart on Sun..

    A few pic's of how I got it...









    A few more as I tore into it...







    MS290,, bought new, first good saw muffler modded (this is when it started)
    031av, P&C new rings points and WIMA
    034super,piston rings
    036av,new piston and rings
    038av,, found on fleabay, all stock except new carb
    038 mag, project
    041av quickstop,, new piston and rings
    046mag,, given to me, new bearings new OEM P&C
    064av,, traded a 031 rear handle for it, new bearings and a 066 P&C
    064av,, bought piece by piece...

    Looking for a steal on a 84

    I will be doing this a little at a time due to Xmass coming and all.... But it feels great having a job this time and a little bit of a budget...When I did the 064 I was broke...

    Anyway I will be splitting the case this weekend and installing seals and bearings... Then the following week I hope to get the starter rewind rebuilt. It is missing all but the spring o and the cup needs to be replaced as well..



    Lots of screws missing and I need to decide on what brand of rings I want to use...The Cabers in the 64 seem to be working great...

    I also need to find a clutch cover but that will be no problem..I evan can take one off a spare saw for now....

    Thanks folks thus far!!!!!!!

    Southbound; great score. Great job on the cleanup. Keep us posted on your progress, I learn alot from rebuild threads. I've had good luck repairing stuff like your handle with J B Weld, etc. If the break is in a high stress area, make sure the part is extremely clean, "V" it out slightly like you would for a weld, then apply a thin layer of the JB. Then cut some straight lengths of spring wire (piano wire) and embed them in the weld across the break. Add at least one more layer of JB. The wire acts like rebar in concrete to add strength. Wish I had friends that would give me saws....

    The clenaup is looking good. Is that not some scoring on the piston? Even if not, it still looks very worn. I bet the rings are too. I'd be seriously considering a new Meteor piston. They're not that expensive and it'd be money well spent.

    Have a 201T that doesn't run like you expected? Need a new one that's already modded and ready to go? PM me for details.

    Looks like it's coming along really well. I've got an 064 that I need to get busy on. I think I have a good cylinder, but need new piston, rings, seals and bearings. I would have blown all the crud away from the cylinder base before removing the jug, but if you already were planning to replace the bearings then it doesn't matter.
