Take the time to click on the photo of Scott's saw below, not sure why it won't pop up like the rest but it is very nicely done.

I see a MINOR problem..as it aint yellr!! its the good orange.....wonder how that happened???? sleepless night??? :hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:
Peter backed out and would not run the saw in competition that year, last year he was recovering from a broken collar bone or some such malady and could not play with saws at all.

We can't stop here, this is bat country.
Mark, I'd be happy to weld that back in for you.

My 92 acts the same way, difficult to get down to an idle speed, loads up if you do get it rich enough to slow down. I don't think they were meant to sit around idling too much. So glad to hear it is running.

My sad story...
I reported yesterday regarding the idle issues, as well as the loose screws in the carburetor body. Of course I tightened the screws, made sure everything else was in order and started it back up. Without the air leaks in the carburetor I could now get it to idle properly, even had to turn the idle speed screw back up a bit to keep it going at idle. It would rev up O.K. and I was just starting to work on getting the carburetor set (no load) when it stopped...dead...locked up...
Opened up the intake side and discovered this.
Kept going and found this.
Ultimately got into it and oh boy.
I don't know if the rod was slightly bent, or if the wrist pin had been in and out too many times but finally got the piston out and noticed the pin had moved completely over, letting the needles out of one side.
I do have a worn out Mac 10 on the shelf, I will try to get that one installed in this saw so I can still have something to run next week, but it just won't be quite the same.
I figure this one cost around $2.00/second for the run time I got out of it...

Just before the big event, it was nearly a completed project.

Oh man, sorry to hear that mark.
Is there enough left in the cylinder to re bore it again, and save it?
That really sucks. Thats the sort of luck I would expect in my shop..... LOL
Find stuff easily, everything goes wrong once its mine....

It was already 0.030" over, I am afraid those trenches in the cylinder are more than 0.015" deep...I understand that Terry Ives has pistons up to 0.064" over but I am of the opinion that this one is beyond hope.

WOW. My heart sank. It is like somebody painted a moustache on the Mona Lisa or cut the balls of of Michelangelo's statue of David...
That is sickening! Really sorry to see that
Is still check with Terry. He was able to bore mine slightly of center to get everything cleaned up.

Sorry to hear that Mark. I know they made .080 over pistons, I have one in my 797 made by Wiseco. Might still be salvageable.
Thanks Brian! 0.080" over might get to the bottom of the trenches, I will be in contact with Terry Ives to see what the possibilities might be.
