I prefer my setups balanced, the only one I have thats nose heavy is my 029, but it's got a standard 25 inch bar on it

When I get home I'm running a 36" bar with an American flag draped from it just to trim my bushes now.

If I had one I'd be pulling out the bicentennial Poulan right now. Got a freedom hickory going and eagles flying over screeching

I got the long awaited tach today and it works beautifully. Comes with a wire attached, but as long as you hold it pretty close to the plug, it reads fine. Also got a Huztl pole saw gearbox. I couldn't wait until this weekend so I put it on. There is some funny ticking going on with it, but I'm pretty sure it has something do with the repaired chain that I tossed on. Works like a charm though.

Goodnight brother, drive safe tonight!

 

[Boomer 87]

she runs guys! Ran a new line and filter checked the carb out and bam shes ready to tear up a 10 10 mac lol.

 

[46 Poulan]

Man --you did good!!

 

[Boomer 87]

I still need to rebuild the carb, i also either think it needs rings or the compression release is leaking. Gonna try blocking off the compression release and see what goes, shes just alittle slugish.

Of course someone lists a 041 super when I don't have the money. It's killing me. Already got my blood pressure up this morning

Is the 041 super a good one

 

[Boomer 87]

Well... it is a stihl but i guess there decent. The 041 has a aggressive idle, i do like the way they sound.

 

[Mac&Homelite]

Man it's quiet in here tonight. What's up with everybody?

 

[Boomer 87]

Tired lol

 

[Kensie1988]

Yep, Monday had everyone drained. And that 041 idle does sound beastly!

I've been working!!!!!!! Pictures to come

 

[astnmacgto]

I did some work on my cylinder, put in some helicoils in the muffler threads, dang huskys!

The finished product.....


Only to find out that I got the wrong dang piston, luckily I have another cylinder that fits the piston I have so the race is on! Measured my squish, it came out to be .026 so I took .026 off the top of the bearing cradle and I will take .018 or .020 off the inside of the cylinder so I will have exactly what I want when I get it all assembled!

 

[astnmacgto]

Triple port muffler, sandblasted and ready to make a load of racket, it's going to get a 550° satin black high heat paint tomorrow!

 

[Kensie1988]

Looking good, did you modify the transfers in that cylinder at all or was it mostly just increasing the port size?
