    What's everyone use to clean a carb when rebuilding

    I have a 1/2 pint mason jar full of 91% ISO-propyl alcohol (from the Wal-Mart pharmacy). I think it costs 3 bucks for a pint. I will carefully disassemble the carb on a clean towel and drop anything that is not rubber into that jar (I do not put the needle valve assembly in the jar). I screw...

    Thinking about porting Stihl 44 magnum...

    I have not touched the saw yet. I got busy with all my "responsibilities". I might get to work on her this weekend. I will update the thread. I am sorely tempted to put her back together stock and go on down the road. I just still think this is a good opportunity for me to tinker with a saw...

    Thinking about porting Stihl 44 magnum...

    Looks like Squish is a little more important than I thought! I have more reading to do. Thanks for all the input guys. :cheers: Looking at the two cylinders side by side, the Bailey's has a larger intake port than the OEM Stihl. The exhaust ports look the same. I will have to do a little...

    Sweet Gum is no joke...

    I like burning elm, but it is hell to split. Noodle it. Pitch the sweet gum. Sent from my HTC6535LVW using Tapatalk

    Thinking about porting Stihl 44 magnum...

    My friend ended up with a burnt piston in his 44 Magnum. One of his boys ran it with straight gas (for a few seconds). :dumb: I told him, to bring the saw on over and we will get her back in action in no time. So in late October of 2016 he came over to the house, with a box of parts, and...

    Sold Stihl 034 and echo cs400

    I got my saw from Josh today. It was the Stihl 034. It was packed very well. It started right up and ran just as described. He also kicked in a few extra parts for the saw. Josh also did great communicating with me about the deal. Trade with confidence! Sent from my HTC6535LVW using Tapatalk

    Worst transfer yet! 026 resurrection...

    I got her back together today, and all is well. I ended up porting the muffler. She tuned nicely. I tune by ear, so I have her 4 stroking a bit and blowing a tiny bit of smoke. She cuts good and sounds great. Thanks for all the input guys. Sent from my HTC6535LVW using Tapatalk

    Sold Sachs-Dolmar 116

    Here are more pictures. Still looking for a trade. If you are out of state and want to trade, we can just each handle our own ride. I am really interested in a Stihl of equitable power/condition. I have 2 original SD 18" bars and 4 chains that will come with this saw. You can see one of the...

    Hijack away matey! [emoji482] I have another 026 waiting in a box and I am very interested in giving it the squish! This is what I love about this site. It is full of Chainsaw PhD's! I too am a caveman mechanic!

    Worst transfer yet! 026 resurrection...

    Thanks for all the advice guys! I decided to use the perfectly good base gasket I had laying on the bench. [emoji6] I will save "the squish" experiment for my buddies 026 sitting in a box in my garage. [emoji106] I almost got her back together before supper. All I need to do is get muffler...

    The saw is still in pieces. I will post compression results after I get her all back together. On the golf cart, I do not remember. It was a low compression engine and I was just trying to get all I could out of it. It is still chugging away working on a tree farm in North Central Arkansas...

    Sold Sachs-Dolmar 116

    I would also trade this for a large volume vertical air compressor. I know it is a long shot finding a local trade, but I figure there is someone on here who would love to have an old Sachs-Dolmar to add to their collection. Who knows what I might trade for?? Shoot me a PM if you are...

    Worst transfer yet! 026 resurrection...

    I did not take pictures of the cylinder, but the transfer was THICK. It took me about an hour to remove all the transfer. I just take my time and sand it all out. I was scared to death the first time I tried it. I just knew I was going to ruin the jug, but that Husky is still alive and well...

    Worst transfer yet! 026 resurrection...

    I had a guy at church bring me two saws the other day. A MS290 and a 026AV. He said I could keep the 026 if I could get the 290 running. I told him I would see what I could do.... [emoji19] It took me about 30 minutes to get the 290 running. It had a dirty carb. He got his saw back and...

    Sold Sachs-Dolmar 116

    Up for TRADE is a Sachs Dolmar 116 (this is not an "si" saw) This saw was purchased new around 1986. It has always been used as a homeowner/firewood cutter. There is a small chip missing from the air filter cover, but it does not affect the filter at all (you can see the chip in one of the...

    Fire starters

    Me and my little girls make starters from wax and wood chips. It is a big project we set up in the garage (we have done it in the kitchen as well). We melt the wax (candles, old crayons, paraffin, etc.) in a jack-leg double boiler and ladle it into cupcake liners that have a wick and wood...

    who uses a hookeroon

    I made one from an old roofing hammer and a broken maul handle. It works like a charm and I love it.

    Identify this tree?

    No kidding! That is what caught my eye in the picture. That is a massive panel.
