Back In The Shop......Now What's On Your Bench????

[speedthrills]

Mastermind you are a mentor, and allot of us appreciate it.

Step up one and all that Randy has helped, give this man his just dues he deserves it. This really goes out to people he helped, gave advice and never asked for anything.

Hows the lower rod bearing look?

I used another crank, but it actually seems quite good. I'm going to use it in one of my own work saws.

Nice shovel head. I have a '70 in garage I have to finish up. Has a Cal Products case and an 88ci top end. Kick only, of course.

I was out beating on this thing:

With all this pipe talk.... I have a mastermind 064, if i made a tuned pipe for it, would it be good the way it is or would it need the port timing "adjusted"

I would like to thank you Randy and everyone here for sharing their knowledge and experience. And mostly the owner of this forum and it's administration that gives all of us a place to blow off steam and learn more about the infectious disease we all share and known only to us as CAD.
So cheers to all of you no matter what level of CAD you maybe encountering at this moment.

I think it will just multiply the performance factor of your saw by poppin a pipe on it and tune the carb to match

I have a poulan s25da when i start it i have to play with the choke for it to stay running and it looks to be getting to much fuel through the fuel line to the carb Thanks for any info.

On my piped 064 I had to raise the exhaust 15° to get the saw to "get on the pipe". It didn't do it's thing at a lower exhaust height. That said, a guy that can really build a pipe should be able to tailor the pipe to the RPM and exhaust T/A.

Just plan on going thru the carb, and replacing the fuel line, and filter. Not a tough job at all. There is a thread in the stickies dedicated to just Poulans.

Did the exhaust need to be raised anyway from taking out the base gasket?

Does that have 6 transfer ports in the jug

Like this?

Cool saw you have there. I like it. Original color paint? That would be easy to clean up, wax it, it'd look new.

 

[M&Rtree]

See if I can make one or two 550's!

I would really like to build it myself. Just need some good info and dimensions.....and someone with some expierence for a few questions

I believe there is software out for building pipes, but there are a lot of them and still would like to talk to someone that has built a few pipes for chainsaws
