Hi, Gang!
I just thought I'd post for the heck of it... you know, a little scotch, nothing much on the telly, that sort of thing.
This is a project that has been pooping along for a few months waiting for cheap parts to arrive. I had a few hours today so I finally chunked it all together. It's a 362 that I put together from a number of basket cases. This thing got the full treatment.. new seals, gaskets, filters, rubber, main bearings, and rings.
I'm going to use this saw to try out the milling version of NK chain, so I chose the 362 top end over the 372 (don't want to snap the chain!) Since the saw is for milling I won't bother with the chain break or bucking spikes... no porting on this since it is already at the top end of the NK range. I choose the high top setup for the big filter. The whole idea here is portability and making the best use of the smaller diameter juniper I fnd a lot of out here.
It idles and revs out nicely.. starts on the first pull when warm, every time.
