Hey brother, I really like the looks of your saw and work. I am in the midst of rebuilds to an 051 and 075. I'd like to ask some questions regarding my builds in comparison to yours. Also, a friend is seeking a Bosch ignition module components for an 056 and asked if I knew anyone who might have one.
Just so I would not detract from Yota's thread, I will pm him, and if we find helpful messages regarding my saws vs his, we will add them here or I will start a thread of my own. Thanks fellas.
Thanks Mad, I passed on your message.Member @foggysail here has a fix for 056 bosch coils. Do a search lots of information.
Nice
It’s the sem version that came in the magnums.
Nice
Did you check the cut speed before and after the sticker was added?
I hear they are good for a 10% gain.
READ FIRST: Lets keep this thread respectful, civilized, and attempt to stay on track. We all like chainsaws here!!
I finally took some time to build myself a saw instead of for someone else. Picked this Magnum up locally over a year ago. It was a running cutting saw, just real ugly. I had plans right away to put some new parts on her and tore it down. Sadly that's as far as I got and into a box she went. Before I even bought the magnum I had been collecting NOS parts off ebay for sometime but once I got the magnum I decided to build it instead of the super I had.

I started with checking port timing and here's what I got.
(This is without the base gasket)
EX: 102
TR: 120.5
IN: 73
BD: 18.5
Pretty good numbers I think.
Next I moved on to the machine work.
Here's my Logan lathe model 210 10x24. The fine members here on AS helped me pick out this lathe.

I took .050" off the squish band and set the squish to "020

Piston is nice and clean.

Ok. Thanks. I thought the first magnums were basically a super just with the dual port muffler added and that's what differentiated the original magnum from the super then the magnum II was 56mm. Thanks for the clarification.Magnums are all 56mm. Super was 54mm, regular 52mm, old 045 50mm
Hey what is the difference between the 056 magnum and the 056 magnum II?Ok. Thanks. I thought the first magnums were basically a super just with the dual port muffler added and that's what differentiated the original magnum from the super then the magnum II was 56mm. Thanks for the clarification.
Have a good one.
PS Super nice saw!!!!
I'm in the middle of building/bringing a 056 magnum bact to life right now. Have most of the parts gathered and complete teardown is finished. Clean, repaint and then on to reassembly!!!!
