Finally got back to the shop today and got going again on the BP-1.
I was going to put the gear box together and realized I'd lost the piston for the automatic oiler. Discovered a 3/32" drill bit fit perfectly so I guesstimated the length and cut the drill bit down to make the new piston. Then I lost the spring but no worries there, somehow I got 4 of them from Bob Johnson.
Continuing on the gear box I noted a litte corrosion in the bottom of the oil tank, probing around with a dental pick I discovered a hole all the way through. Decided the best course of action would be to give it an abrasive blast and then JB weld to the bottom of the tank.
After that I got as much of the saw together as I could. Next I need to get the carburetor thoroughly cleaned and back together...best I can determine I have all of the parts I will need including a NOS primer.
With the saw together I check the compression, 135 PSI which is certainly better than 90 or so when I got it.
Travel will keep me away all week this coming week, but if I can get the carburetor cleaned I should be able to get this one finished next Saturday.
