Hi Y'all........Messed Up Anything Lately?

[stihl sawing]

Well I did add the "lately" for a reason. :msp_sad:

and i was gonna post about the first marriage.:msp_w00t:

 

[FATGUY]

I had that part all done..... :msp_sad:

This was one of those........I can make it better bonehead moves.

man, if I had a nickel....

I reamed out a carb for a 372 to 18.5mm not long ago. I've gone bigger on the same carbs, but I got into a little passage inside the venturi on that one. I've done quite a few carbs the same way, and it was the first one to give me trouble. It took me a lot longer than it should have to figure out why the saw was flooding. It ain't no Monkey-minded 372, I'm sure, but she's a strong runner now.

Yep......I've bored into that same passage. :msp_unsure:

 

[Mastermind]

man, if I had a nickel....

I wanted .022 squish clearance.........not .020.

Well barneyrb was right, i worked on that stinkin mini mac for a long time. got it back to gether and got it running good. Started good for a couple days after that. it sat for about a week and the POS won't hit a lick.barney told me that would happen.Still might UPS all of em to DSS.

If only I hadn't reshaped my cutter...... :msp_unsure:

Wow 19 members have come in to see what the "Great Mastermind" has goofed up.

I've only destroyed a couple of jugs......made a few that weren't good enough runners......but only a couple that were trash.

Most things can be saved.........trashed plating can't.

Oh well........I'm still digging building these saws.

 

[moody]

We all love success but it's nice to have a "what not to do" thread to keep us in line :hmm3grin2orange:

 

[FATGUY]

not enough bandwidth for me to start rhyming them off....

 

[cobey]

:angrysoapbox:

can you machine a piston to match, or guess im not thinking right

 

[pioneerguy600]

Thicker base gasket.

 

[watsonr]

I took a huge order for bars the other day and wouldn't you know... It's not lookin good :msp_razz:

 

[ckelp]

I had the dermal walk on me straight into the plating I'm still kicking myself for that one
Last week I broke two Bakelite seals while trying to install them in a 200t I finely said enough and going to install standard seal..

 

[Officer's Match]

Lemme' guess Randy - you put the wrong color sticker on it? :msp_sneaky:

 

[cat-face timber]

The man that never makes a mistake is the man that never does anything.

 

[Adirondackstihl]

This jug was cheap.........just 315.00 retail. :msp_unsure:


TK helped me out some though.

Okay Randy.........give it up......what happened?
I cant take this anymore

 

[gmax]

I snapped the base of an old Dolmar cylinder while trying to remove the clutch, I didn't realize 2 cylinder bolts were missing :msp_ohmy:

 

[Mastermind]

Thicker base gasket.

Nope......the 562XP is a saw that we lose the base gasket on......the gasket is nearly .030 thick so losing it and taking that amount out of then squish is a nice way to gain compression, intake duration, and strato duration in one fell swoop....I'm just anal about my measurements being what I want them to be.
