I do say the old contra and your saw were 2 very nice looking saws

Yeah that Contra® of 295 Tramps was awesome. Huge power and ran the rpm's up too. Cut real nice. Surprised me. 106cc's Balls of Stihl.

Yeah he deleted the air governor and it turned that saw around

Thank you 295 tramp for the $6 echo
It will be run by my 10yr old son. Runs good with muff mod re shaped the intake port and open up transfer port a lil. Nothing wild but it snaps out quick now

We made the paper! Tried loading a photo of the paper itself but was given a "file too large" warning. Must be something new after the shutdown/reboot. Jonsered Racket gets the award for front and center in the big photo.

Thanks Snuffbandit for posting the article.
Did we make the police beat in the paper also?
Having time for it all to sink in from the GTG
I know I had a great time and meeting everybody was great.
I know I'll be ready to meet again.

 

[Hedgerow]

Awesome info! I wrote it down and put it on the fridge! I'll have to do more reading on it. Can anyone enter? I may have to setup a stock saw with modified muffler!

Thanks

Did someone say chainsaw races???

"I have a potty mouth"

Priceless...

I sneaked in last year, I changed my name and nobody knows I'm there.

Still have it? I have one I'm working on that only has 100 lbs compression... I'm not so sure that's enough to run.

Yep still have mine. Cool you have one too! Post up some pics if you can. If you look into the cylinder through the muffler does it show any scoring? 100 lbs is low. I'm not sure about these old beats but usually needs about 150 lbs to start

She is definitely a little scored... Not sure if I will be able to bring her back to life with that piston and jug. Great spark though after I cleaned up the points. At least that's what my hand said when I pulled it over while holding the plug wire! Here are some pictures of it at various stages of repair. I have heard of people repairing the piston and cylinder scoring with high temp epoxy and a light honing... If I can't find a parts saw with a good jug that's my next step. If that doesn't work then I will be looking for another one, I really want a runner!

Loud isn't the word for it, currently it doesn't have anything blocking the exhaust port! I'm not certain they ever did... Just a spark arrest screen.
