Got any pics of that beast in action, Mark?

 

[heimannm]

Probably not until Baraboo. Mweba is working on flange to mount the pipe. Might get to make a practice cut next weekend.

Is that plate bolted to the handle so you have a place to put your foot while starting it?

 

[heimannm]

Indeed it is.

This saw was never used. It sat at my friends house since it was new. My understanding was that his friend bought it and was never able to get it to run. ( L screw was all the way in when I got it. ) I pulled the carb and it was simply spotless inside. Dumped the fuel from last year, a few drops down the carb and it starts and runs great. I have no idea when it was made but after wiping off the dust it looked like it was brand spanking new.

That's Very Nice man! I have the same saw but Poulan, well my brother has it and I'm going to get it. Ours if from around 1990.

I think it was 10 years ago when I first saw it under his work bench and just assumed it was a runner but it was not. The bar does not have a mark on it. Once I had it running I brought it back to him and he just assumed that I had thrown in the towel. Once it started up he was just grinning like the cat that ate the canary. His son has a MS211 and he is using it from time to time now he can use his own saw. One of his hobbies is bee keeping so AFTER I gave it back to him I had the thought to have put some black electrical tape like stripes on it for a joke.

Hole in the piston? How the heck would the dealer say that unless he saw a hole, which obviously isn't there.

I hope he goes back to the dealer with this. He should get his money back on that 390 and give it back, if he wants it.

I told him but he don't want to do all of that.

A evil gas leaking 020av, every time I think I got it whipped something else goes wrong. It almost met the sledge a couple of times so far

130 on a stock 372xp isn't unheard of.

The last one I had didn't blow over 140 and it was a pretty nice specimen.

 

[hatchet13]

Hmm I would of thought that they all were up over 150 . It seems to run good and had good power the comp just seemd low to me

090 for new clutch springs

 

[redfin]

There's and 044 and a 460 in here. They are both for two of my buddies.

I finished the third MS362 today. I might take tomorrow off.

 

[heimannm]

Added a little something today. I still have to attach it somehow but that should be easy enough with some small clamps or perhaps just some springs.



There is actually a resonance cone and stinger hiding inside that larger pipe with the louvers, and a cap to close it up if I choose.



Hopefully I will get a chance to put it in some wood and see how it goes.

That's too cool Mark.

I have a CR125 motor on my bench at the moment. It's a 100 over and ported.... right now it it's still a bike motor but the plan in to build another bike saw this winter. I am starting to collect parts.

 

[aaron580]

My MS390 "Magnum" is my project currently. Its currently tore all the way down and waiting for new seals, since I ordered the cheese ball paper seals by accident. I'd post a pic, but its just a ton of parts on a table.
