Yeah thats the way it should be
Yeah and that's how it is, she's into shoes, bags and clothes. I don't mind and I don't bug her about it. She's doesn't bug me about the saws downstairs or the '84 gmc stakebody I just bought. Of course the truck cost almost as much as one of her bags. Point is I let her get what she likes and she lets me

Same Shindaiwa 577 still casting a shadow on my bench! I got home from a three days away from home on the RR. Let's see, where was I?

Time to install the oiler.

Flip her over, and on goes the flywheel and ignition.

Need a vid of start up and test run
 
We'll I didn't think I had it in me for another build before the gtg in staples, but I did.
This morning I was bummed about the carb on the 084, so I had to find something to do today. Deep in the back of the shop I had a box o stihl 07. I bought a new fan wheel a year ago off ebay for 20.00.bucks. I cleaned the top end throughly.
Well pieces started to come together quickly and here's where I'm at. 20150323_163341.jpg

I didn't have much of a method to video myself, but she fired on the third pull, and the 577 is a runner. I'll get my better half to video it in the cut when I get home Thursday. The porting, base gasket elimination, and muffler mod woke it up a bit. Anyway, it was a fun rebuild of a great old saw. I have another one I think I'll start working on next, with a little more radical porting.
