361 Shootout

[SawTroll]

No pics yet that I can see. ....

I can't see them either, but then I am at a cell-phone dial-up at the cottage at the moment!

 

[SawTroll]

No.

I tried quoting the text, in the edit box grabbed one of the img url's, dropped that into my navigation and it prompted me to log in, then they all showed up.

Edit - I just repeated it in IE, the pics didn't show up, I went thru the process.
The lines in the image point to like:

http://arboristsite.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=158236&d=1289956375
instead of

http://www.arboristsite.com//attachment.php?attachmentid=158236&d=1289956375
note no www in the first one

I think you have to log into a different server - http://arboristsite.com/, instead of http://www.arboristsite.com/

/edit - for japanese try http://www.arboristsite.com//attachment.php?attachmentid=158236&d=1289956375

 

[SawTroll]

Looks just fine!

Ok I put www in front of the links, can you see em now?

If so I'll delete some of the others.

OOO, a TW thread!! cool. Here is the pics. See if I can help here.

Question for ya TW, are you tig welding your mufflers? Last time I did a muffler was the first time with my new tig, and I had a hell of a time cause the filler was too thick, couldn't find any thinner. So I haven't tried it yet but was going to try to use some mig wire as filler since its sooo much smaller. What do you use?

 

[Tohya]

All of the images show up for me.

 

[parrisw]

Its always worked for me? So don't know what's up.

Got to give away all the secrets eh!

I have not been able to source filler less than 1/16 up here, there is at least one place in US selling thinner and specilty fillers but it was going to be pretty expensive to get them shipped up and through customs. I had planned to put an order together but had not got to it yet.

1/16 is a bit thick, I can make do with it on mufflers but on pipes it makes a big weld, Here is my redneck engineering solution, mig filler is too floppy to deal with on it's own but twisting two 0.023 wires together with a drill makes it stiffer and it works quite nice.

I don't know what was up with the pics last night, first off I posted in the wrong thread by accident then either my computer or the site was slow and I had some failed uploads when trying to fix the problems.

Last night I could not see TW pictures, TW poasted a link to the the org
post where he had pictures. I still couldn't see pictures but noticed that
I wasn't logged in on that thread So I logged in as I had it open
in a new window. Then I could see pictures in both threads. I'm at work
now, I had to do the same thing at work as I did at home to see the pictures.

Thanks in advance TimberWolf!

Looking forward to the thread!

My 361 is still stock,maybe this thread is what will get me cutting and drilling.

I was even more interested after seeing this.

All the MM I've done on 361s turn them into another saw. Those have got to be in the top 5 of "most choked up saws". I bet they gain a bit more w/o the internals.

Works for me now, thanks gemniii.
I like the look of the finished muffler. Good job Brian.

Any of these getting one of those beautiful side swept pipes? I'd still love to have me one of those! Just make it for a 440 with a 460 topend:rockn:

 

[timberwolf]

Nope, no pipes for these. Plan will be for a standard woods ported 361, a fairly hot woods ported 361 with more work on the intake, piston and carb. With the BB I want to take it about as hot as I can and keep it as a true work saw for myself. It may get a welded piston if I can't get enough compression from the BB head and a workover on the carb and intake as well.

 

[blsnelling]

Sounds like fun!

I've used thick MIG wire (which is still thin compared to straight welding rod) for TIG work in the past. Just cut it off into usable lengths and straighten it.

Great thanks Brian! I brought home some .023 stuff, so I'll wind it together. That's an awesome idea. I too can't get anything smaller then 1/16, and it just wasn't working for me.

What kind of typical carb work do you do for a woods port, I have not ventured there yet. Would just smoothing out the ridge help? Or do you have to bore the whole thing and make bigger butterflies?

 

[timberwolf]

I tried that but found it hard to get nice and straight which made it hard to control. Mind you I was working with 0.023 wire, bigger mig wire might be ok. Not much luck either with single .030 stainless mig wire as it was just too springy to straighten well.

For the basic woods port I would just clean up the ventury and a few rough points. for the others I plan on some lathe work and the BB may get new flutterbys.

Apparently there are two english sites and a japanese site that gets used.

Examples:
http://www.arboristsite.com/ - is the english site I normally link into.


http://arboristsite.com/ - where some peeps login - NO www


http://new.arboristsite.com/ where I get japanese characters

If you noticed when TW said where he posted the pictures it was
http://arboristsite.com/showthread.php?t=154490&page=4

so watch your prefixes.
