I was shocked to see my piston arrive today. So some more assembly ensued. Unfortuantely I still do not have crank seals so can't finish it until next week. I went ahead and bolted on the recoil and bar cover just to make it look like it's done for a pic.
Next week I'll show the ignition and clutch sides going together.
Brand new NOS OEM piston and OEM gasket.
All new OEM gaskets in the intake tract.

I wouldnt paint nothing if it were mine. If it were mine, it would be on a CS mill very shortly.

Yep I'm with Wiggs no way I could paint on that saw. After all it's a tool to be used for work.
Not even the loop handle
Come on, let me do it, lol. I painted part of the muffler.
I say paint it. I spiff up my other tools. I powdercoated a set of floor jacks I had once neon purple. A buddy saw 'em and had to have them. He traded me a Sidewinder 8000 lb. winch and a Cannon tree auger for them.

She lives! There's a vid coming at the end, but first, a few more assembly pics.
Flywheel side seal.
PTO side seal.
Felt washer under ignition plate. I forgot to get a pic of the ignition bolted down.
Putting the clutch side together.
New drum for rim sprockets. This is a now obsolete Oregon part.

Fantastic, as always, Brad. Keep 'em coming. Looking forward to the vid.
And go ahead and paint that baby. Then use it, and if you have to, paint it again! Hey, that's what we do, right?

No new paint on this one except the muffler and handle. I've got a new chain coming for it.

Great work Brad. Thanks for sharing that with us, I will probably never get to see the inside of a 090 any other way. I'm looking forward to a video of that monster in some wood. Thanks again.
Brad- does yours still have the governor or did you take it off? I'm finding anymore that most applications don't need the governor, especially if the operator is skookum.
It is still operable. Right now I have the spring on the firmest setting. I intend to tune it per factorty specs before selling. I find the governor very annoying myself.
