$20 Pawn Shop MS261 Pipe Saw!!!!!

[farmer steve]

this has to go in the most awesome 50 cc saw thread.

 

[Little Al]

Custom pipe made from a downspout, does it sound like a Honda?

"Nah" Probably more like a pre WW2 one pot John Deere tractor Ear muffs obligatory No way will it run any good without the GO FASTER stripes

 

[LowVolt]

Nice find. What was your initial thought when you seen that?

WTF/lmao was my initial thought.

When he said, "Aww hell it's just for parts....$20," my thought was "jackpot!"

It was a hole in the wall privately owned pawn shop.

 

[LowVolt]

Gonna need spark....

 

[LowVolt]

For the few seconds she ran, it sounded damn good!!!

 

[Suzuki]

The fact that it's a floppy pipe makes it that much more cool.....

 

[fulladirt]

I was just about to ask if you could get some video too...it sure coulda sounded worse but man does it flop around!

 

[jl4c]

I could not believe it. Some guys have all the luck and today, that guy was me. A one-of-a-kind saw that's for sure. If you need dimensions/specs on the pipe, PM me.

I'm always amazed at the number of pawn shop saws with the chains on backwards.

I can barely buy parts around here for $20 Great find!

PM sent!

I have been toying with a similar design that splits the pressure wave. The expansion on the left sends back the negative scavenging pressure wave, and the restriction on the right sends back the positive wave. It should allows the same dynamics in a smaller package, but it wasn't until now that I realized that the key to splitting the pulse effectively with the appropriate shift in speed was the strategic placement of self-tapping screws.

It's raining now, but as soon as the downspouts are free, I'm going to give it a shot!

You forgot about a hose clamp

You forgot about a hose clamp

I think that haywire would have a much more effective resonance frequency...

Ya, know in my years of working with saws, I have seen many repairs. Some temporary and some that would make a mechanic start drinking. However this one has made the top 10. The previous owner must have been a physiological mental case or forgot to take his thorazine, lithium, and xanax. What a rig.How could anyone ever butcher there saw so badly?Unless the muffler vibrated off! Anyway put a new jug, piston rings, and you may have a good runner.Don't forget the muffler with the screen, Ken

 

[LowVolt]

It is a fairly low hour saw. What would possess a person to do this? Also that chain is rusted to that bar?!? That muffler work was done a while ago.

 

[Canyon Angler]

That is a blooey pipe !!

 

[smokey7]

Sad that she is scored.... Is it mtronic? Hopefully the jug will clean up and you could try one of those hyway popup pistons for cheap get a new aftermarket muffler and have less then 75 bucks in a good runner. Oh and you suck btw

 

[DSW]

Would do everything I could to keep that pipe.

She sounds rowdy.

 

[RBurtcher]

That's the Ol' Fonzle It's the hopped up backyard trenching saw. Backwards rusty chain and pipe mods are the dead give away. To bad they lost the factory clamp. That's going to lower the value.
