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

[nstueve]

My latest is more like... "What's being done to my bench..."

I've been spending a little time here and there improving the welding bench. I just added the grinder rack. No not all of the grinders will be staying they are mostly on there for my upcoming grinder thread.

Tool cup
For grinder tools. Notice I painted
The raker gauge and allens red so I can spot them and make sure they get back where they belong

Adding new Wilton I got cheap at auction. Still unsure if I want this on my bench or not. Don't want to beat the bench casters to death if I'm pounding on stuff in the vice.

I'll probably be adding a bar rail grinder and maybe a breaker/spinner to this table. Trying to think out the best organization for the shop right now.

Thought I had a nice complete engine until I looked closer, turns out it's gonna need another cylinder, sparkplug hole threads messed up pretty bad..

Helicoil wont fix it?

Any chance you've got an 029 super piston floating around that's usable?

I've only had one 029 Super in my life but I think it's the same as the MS290 piston, probably 46mm bore. It says on the side of the cylinder what size it is.

It probably would but I found a good cylinder in my parts pile so I'll use it, just a little more work. I might helicoil the other cylinder later..

The SEZ was a damn good saw, and especially snappy for 40cc pulling full size 3/8 chain.

Ms310 conglomeration... My brother is home from college and I was away in Texas. He took over my tool box. Have to see how he did on his first saw build (after no less than a dozen calls to me lol)

Today was a 268xp, then a MS441....now two 044s...

Break time..

Still trying to put together 3 Stihl 290s between the cool days. Carb cleaning tomorrow..

An old muscle saw. Ready for test fire in the morning [emoji16][emoji41][emoji123]

So here's what's on my bench right now. Anybody know what saw this is? (I'm sure most of you do)



Here's why it came all apart


And here is the fix

Gonna check for leaks and give the carb a good cleaning before I fire it up. A lean condition caused the melt-down!

Close enough!! MS290! That didn't take long!

They are good saws that are under appreciated around here.

Yeah, I have three of them apart right now..I don't know why so many scuffed pistons when there's no apparent air leak. Must have been straight gassed.

They are under appreciated... They are heavy until they have a 039/390 top end but they are very dependable after a muff mod, pulling the red snake eyes of death out of the carb, and readjusting carb settings.

I just rebuilt 2x of them not that long ago and have 3 more on the floor. I am down to 45-55mins/rebuild on these and well into the 200's on # I've rebuilt.

Air leaks are rare unless it's a fuel line... The big triple lip rubber seals have a hard time going bad. Usually it's someone using cheap non-synthetic oil and letting it idle for 5-10mins while they move wood or load the truck. When the "L" is set to 1/4 turn out like OEM the run into a lean condition at idle making them get hot, choked muffler makes them hotter, and lower RPM means lower air flow to cool cylinder. It's the perfect trifecta to overheat and torch a cylinder.

Spent 15 mins mounting this up to the big angle iron last night. Anyone know what it is???
