RIDE-RED 350r
No wing, no prayer
Well, 394 has been back in the owners hands in good running condition for awhile now...
On the bench now:
-The 038 Super came back. Not idling down no matter what is done with the low speed mixture or idle speed. So I'm waiting on the new fuel line and tank vent line. Hoping the old fuel line is the issue as the carb kit for that damnable Bing carb is 50 bucks!! Yikes!The saw has been sitting for awhile prior to the tank swap. And the tank I swapped in had been sitting awhile too... I'm just going through the simple stuff before telling my friend he needs a friggen $50 carb kit. Strange though is that I was able to tune it in without too much trouble when I had it before. I was told it was a good running saw other than the broken rear handle/fuel tank. And that seemed to be the case when I dropped it off. Couple tanks worth of runtime and it started being a wench.
-Have 359 owned by yet another friend that I'm doing the intake and carb kit updates on. Still pulls 165psi cold and I pulled the muffler to have a peek at the piston and cylinder. Everything looks good. Should be a quick job once I get my parts.
It's becoming apparent that word is spreading that I work on saws for cheap... I like to help out friends and I'm learning alot about these saws in the process.
Here's hoping the next project on my bench is a 394 builder for me!!
