Don't get me all excited with pics......is the new cover flat?
Click to expand...

Yes it's a new flat top cover with the decomp plug. It doesn't have a metal tag though........yet. This is the build off saw I ran in KY last weekend, just dressed up. :)
 
I've just given it a good look see. It's not scored........just crap. I have a good OEM jug on the way for it. We'll get a Meteor piston and you'll end up with a saw that will last. :)[/QUOTE]

Yeah, when you get that "I want" factor involved things look more appealing than they seem. I don't know how I'll make out in the end, but a saw that is done right is much better than a pile of parts! :msp_thumbsup: Thanks for all of your help!

You're welcome. I've been down that road with parts that are sub-par. It's just not worth it when you factor in the time it takes to do the work. I'll make sure you get a good saw.

The cover on it is three times better than mine:frown:

I know ya will Randy. I've been down that road doing landscaping projects too. Makes me feel a bit better after my buckeyes lost tonight:mad:

Nothing like a little cutting therapy to help...:smile2:

My buddy has an old johnsered 475? Small saw, but he cut for 20 years with it and loved it. Needs carb work, etc? Could you make that happen? It would certainly be no rush as he got another saw.

But your's has a purdier sticker:hmm3grin2orange: Just wish the saw under it was as good. I'll work on your other cyl when things slow down. I gotta figure out these big Stihls.:help:

They're simple Stumpy. A long intake duration is fine......but a short exhaust is needed for torque.

So I've been told. I tend to overthink things. Guns sent two cyls with his 066. Gonna try some things out on on the other one it that you've suggested. I will say that the saw is still wakeing up, but no where near what it could be. Sorry for side tracking this thread. carry on with the Jred talk:cheers:
 
Newbie question...With you dropping the jug and slicing a bit off the side, will it change the cooling of it?

It will have a #### load more compression than it did before so it will run a little hotter. It will be fine though.

Simply amazing! Why didn't it get returned to the seller?

Brad,
New to the game. Saw came up for sale on Craigslist. I met the guy at a predeterminded location halfway between our respective homes. Seemed like a decent fella, drove a nice Volvo etc. Did the drop strart test etc. Saw started on third pull. He came off the orig price quite a bit, so I bought it. I knew before I bought it that I would have Randy go thru it to make sure it was alright b4 I ran it. Then I got the pm of all the trouble with the saw. It's simply a case of 'lack of knowledge' on my part and I have learned quite a lesson from this whole ordeal. I tried to get back in touch with the seller but he has avoided me. Now, I wish I had gone to his house to buy it, that way we could have a face to face discussion. The whole thing brought my CAD to a standstill while I tried to wrap my mind around it. I actually stayed off the site for several days. First bad experience buying something used. Really made me sit down and think how much money I have put into this little hobby. For me the numbers were sickening. I walked into this ignorant and really learned a valuable lesson. I'm thankful for having Randy as my friend, and knowing someone knowledgeable, that I can trust to guide me thru this. I love chainsaws- the sound, the smell, the feel, but I simply don't know how to work on them. For me, I would rather spend the money, with confidence that it is done right, knowing that I can take the saw in the woods and know it is gonna run right- that's where Randy comes in. Going forward, it's new saws for me, or saws purchased from high caliber, recognized members on AS. I always do business with a handshake, I use manners so my children will, & I treat others how I would like to be treated, just like many of you here on AS. It's certainly disconcerting to come across individuals who do not elevate themselves to the same standard.

So thats the story, I'm ready for the digs and jokes, the "he's a fool, ain't got no business with a saw" statements. I can take it, cause I know in a few days I'm gonna pick up another bad ass saw from Randy's shop with a big ol' sticker on it.... and that to me is "Priceless". GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Mastermind!:rock::rock::rock:
 
Well Said...

My story is somewhat similar, only the seller runs a small saw shop in a little town nearby. He put a new topend and supposedly went thru the saw for me so i wouldnt have problems. I understand theory, just would like the reassurrance of a pro working on it so it lasts. Unfortunately, not all saw shops know what they are doing. The guy made the deal with me, and no i didnt steal it for cheap, but then held me off for months before turning it over to me. He really didnt want to part with it, so he slapped it together cheaply. Thanks to Randy I will have a saw I can trust.

wanted ask if you've been running cooler heat range sparkplugs in these worked over saws, never see any mention of this, just wondering

Think about about it this way, when the exhaust port is raised, the effective powerstroke is reduced. A few degrees can make a BIG difference considering a 2 stroke delivers all its power in roughly 85 to 95 degrees of crank rotation.....as compared to a 4 stroke has about a complete stoke to accomplish the same thing. It's weird how some saws like some things, and others like exactly the opposite. I've changed my way of thinking so many times, I'm still not sure whats what.....I know no more now than I did when I started :laugh:. Just something to think on......

Sorry for the derail, back to the original programming :rock:.
