    Antique saw thread

    I've ended up with this Homelite 360. Has compression, the coil does not contact the plug well IIRC from playing with it years ago. Is it worth anything?

    I punched out my main jet a bit today . it seems happier, I need to get some run time on it to see what color that plug turns. The way my lighting was I could see it would smoke just a teeny bit when I first nailed it, it must have an accelerator pump! If only

    There is a spot on walbros website where you can find venturi and jet size off of the part number. I think its their parts lookup. I'm Jelous of your 280PFL Bastard Sometime when things get that long they get a little bouncy

    The ebay one doesn't have main/venturi sizes posted, id bet they are both too large for the my trimmer at altitude. I want to keep the same size venturi and preferable get a .35 jet if I can, if not ill make the right size jet, i cant change the venturi size.

    Im guessing you size your main a smidge smaller then ideal and compensate with the extra high end fuel?

    I have not, I think mines is .38, I have a few other WYK carbs around with different jets and have mixed and matched the .42 was wayy too much fuel, I may drill mine to .40 and see if thats a happy medium, ultimately I think being adjustable will be the best. i just ran it more, its defiantly...

    I lowered/widened my exhaust today, opened up the muffler more,reassembled with out base gasket and got a squish of .024". I got it to run, its not totally happy and revs higher at 3/4 throttle then full, I think it needs more fuel. I ran a compression test warm and got 140psi, added oil and...

    concentrated bar oil

    I tend to have more faith in because it's sold by Oregon then i otherwise would. That being said they do have alot to gain from people having to replace their bar and chains more often.

    Filtering the water out of gas

    I'm guessing the water in the fuel isn't bottled therefore cheaper then fuel per unit. Also the ethanol we have here in the states should absorb the little bit of water that does get in
