Another eBay burn

[parrisw]

Sounds good, looking forward to the wood test!

BTW, Dad and I still managed to carry 24 sheets of drywall into the basement tonight, lol. And that's an accomplishment considering it has to go up 6 stairs from the garage to the house, and then down a flight of 14 stairs with a 90° turn half way down. The sheet has to be stood on end and lifted over the railing, and then tucked back down to fit through the door. I've got 34 more sheets to go

How big is your basement to need 58 sheets of drywall??

I bought 68 sheets. I had carried 10 down previously. It's 1900 sq ft, plus the island in the middle for the stairs.

is it to code to have a room or rooms with the only way out up thru the house?

I'm not sure about that. There are no bedrooms in the basement.

 

[matt9923]

does anyone know the aftermarket #s for the crank bearings?

 

[silverzuk]

The seller has had previous accounts suspended, like this one:

Alpha_Bullbuck

And this one:

bgballedyj

There's at least one more but I can't remember off the top of my head.

Could someone post the guy's real name and address?
That may help others on this forum from getting burned.

Other forums I frequent have a "Bad Sellers List". If someone gets crooked, even if the sale came from another forum or ebay, they get listed. Might be a good idea for this forum.

How come no one has left negative feedback? His is all positive and he will continue to sell junk as "excellent, just rebuilt, new parts".

off topic;
I assume that there is an exit (window)?
My dad's friend and his family burned to death in a basement with no exit.
The basement was unfinished, and his friend turned it into a rec room.
They were all downstairs watching TV when the house caught fire. They had no way out. Him, his wife, and two boys burned to death.

that's a bad story but brad has a few saws in his basement, SO if #### hits the fan he can cut his way out.

 

[blsnelling]

There are three windows large enough to crawl out through.

Saw looks great!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a question about the holes in the filter cover. Will they fill up with chips??

I like the looks of it and can see how it they will allow more air flow just wondering if it would be a pain to keep them clean...

Thanks.....

They're not there by choice. The previous owner had hacked some holes in there. I cleaned them up to make them look a little better. I don't see it being a problem at all.

 

[blsnelling]

I just went out in the cold garage where it's probably in the 40s and fired it up. It started and stayed running on the first pull, without a hint of cold naturedness.

Sometimes mistakes are made

and other times there is deliberate misinformation... outright LIES
these are the selllers that give ebay a bad rep! and should be hunted down like mongrel dogs.

I read some info over several weeks where a seller of saws said in almost 50% of them... "I bought this... was my person firewood saw, used it for 6 months..."

the guy over the month time frame had listed about 25 saws... I got thinking, he must cut 30 hours a day to get that kind of use out of saws.


then the other side, I bought a Stihl 013! I recognised the "8" was worn away, got it for $50. Anther was listed as a "029, or perhaps an 028" I have both, this looked nothing like them... turns out it was an 024S. Then I bought a "Husky, not sure what size..." I did some research and the pics showed a 281. Now I'm working on rebuilding it... got it for a VERY reasonable price. it's rough, cosmetically, but mechanically it appears fine.

Here are a few vids of it in wood. Please ignore the grabby chain. I grabbed it off the wall and the rakers on it were done before I started using the FOPs. The saw's wearing a 8-pin rim and a 28 " bar and full comp Stihl RSC chain. The saw feels a little tight. I expect it to gain with some more run time. I put 1 tank of fuel through it. I pulled the muffler cover. There is no scoring at all. But, it's obvious the piston is breaking in. All of the machine lines are gone on about the top 1/3 of the piston, centered on the exhaust port. I certainly wouldn't break one of these pistons in on a mill.

When you go through and paint all that stuff will it last? I have a couple of Keeper saws I want to make real nice but I don't want to spend the time painting them if it's all gunna peel off.

Nothing's going to hold up like the original powder coat. I already scratched this one today.

 

[blsnelling]

I let it cool off good, and compression is 150 PSI.

 

[matt9923]

nice work!

how many rpm it running?

I saw 13,500-14,200. As the saw continues to break in, I expect to have to keep fattening it up to keep the RPMs where they need to be.
