Mastermind Meets The Jonsered 2095

[Mastermind]

Well guys this is a long way from a simple woods port. This saw was advertised as a freshly rebuilt, good running saw.......

It was anything but fresh.

Sorry we didn't get any pics of the complete saw......Jon was in high gear on tear down duty.

150psi doesn't seem low on this saw.

But this ain't very pretty. Notice the piston is in backward?!?!?

How in the hell did this thing not hang a ring end?

That ain't stock.

This seal doesn't look very fresh?

Ouch...

It's everywhere.........The tooth fairy does better work on saws than the dude that molested this beast.

no b&a vids on this one

Simply amazing! Why didn't it get returned to the seller?

 

[Mastermind]

First things first........we need to fix that funky bar stud......

I found a fine thread bolt the same pitch as the "stud" they had in the saw....then drilled and tapped it for the right bar stud.

What we now have is a custom helicoil. Only much better.

It ran.......but not well.

Simply amazing! Why didn't it get returned to the seller?

It was a Craigslist find. Steven wants it fixed.......that's where I came in.

Can't say too much...

Mine was a story in itself just getting it in my hands from the seller. It had plenty of boo boo's as well! Hope you can bring this Johnny back to glory Randy!

 

[gcdible1]

Randy why dont you name this the week of the broke, beaten, and scarred?

I guess they all can't be as pretty as Brad's stuff huh? He's got some nice ones!:msp_thumbsup:

 

[Stumpys Customs]

Got your work cut out for ya on that one Randy.

 

[Mastermind]

I had to order a bunch of parts from Spike60 for this build. J'red 2095 stuff is a special order item so it got shelved for awhile. Finally....it's all here.

Speaking of beaten.........your saw is gonna get another top end. That aftermarket crap ain't cutting it.

Got your work cut out for ya on that one Randy.

Yeah.......but it's fun.

 

[blsnelling]

As usually Randy, great work!

 

[fastLeo151]

Randy,
I really enjoy your build threads!

Did it go kablammo? Or just a cheap pos? Hard to say what he gave me. After it took almost three months to get it, I probably shouldve backed out of the deal.

Don't wanna hijack this thread though...:msp_ohmy:

 

[Mastermind]

Meteor pistons are sure fine looking items. Here's a tidbit I've learned.....the 394 OE piston has a wider skirt than a 395 OE piston. The Meteor 395 has better pin placement and is a bit wider than either.

I dropped the jug the thickness of the base gaskets which was quite a bit. Notice where the flywheel rubs the jug now.

I chucked the flywheel up in the lathe and shaved .030 from the back to give a little clearance.

I was hoping you could tell but the pics not close enough. The metering spring is gone.

Can anyone tell me if these are correct?

 

[young]

was this saw advertised as completely f##ked over??!?!?!?

nice work randy.

 

[Mastermind]

Randy,
I really enjoy your build threads!

Here's that 066 we were discussing....it's got a new top cover in route as well.

I've just given it a good look see. It's not scored........just crap. I have a good OEM jug on the way for it. We'll get a Meteor piston and you'll end up with a saw that will last.

yes they are correct. one is larger

 

[Ambull]

Wow this one is really taking some work.

 

[fastLeo151]

Don't get me all excited with pics......is the new cover flat?

 

[Mastermind]

yes they are correct. one is larger

Thanks Terry. They do fit right so.....

Wow this one is really taking some work.

Par for the course around here it seems.
