My second build thread. I put a 272 into a 2145!

My last saw I put a 359 into a 350. When I made those adapter blocks I made one to accept the 272 cyl since a 359 and 272 share the same stroke.

I got to see and run this saw last weekend and I tip my hat to Mike for his work on this type of project. Thanks for letting me run it, and to say that I was impressed would be the understatement of the year.

Thanks Mike for letting me run it.

Very impressive work Mike. I'm just happy to make my chain Sharp to go out in the woods. You are in a whole different league of chainsaw addiction than I am. Cool.

Very nice skills.

I watched Mike make a educated guess on the timing and dremel a new flywheel keyway and mount a 359 flywheel Thursday night before the GTG. I don't know how I missed running this saw, if it holds together I will get a chance later.

i think your work is awesome. what is the weight going to be? i am guessing the power to weight ratio is going to be pretty awesome.

Mike thats outstanding. Wanna build me a top handle saw with its own starting mechanism like a co2 cartridge. So i can just push a button and she fires up. I was always gonna do it but Im tired of waiting. Wow you do good work sir!!
