Just watched that vid ol bob just put up there, I almost forgotten that I uploaded it, and it was the only time I raced with an 090. I borrowed the saw from the mill I worked for at the time and it was bone stock, I don't think I even touched the chain, I am the one in the yellow shirt. I got to the final after many people cut out in the heats, it takes some cutting to get through, 18" blocks and that 4" you are allowed to cut in looks bloody small, not much room for error. Someday I'll find an 090 I can fix up and race with, tho I think the dog team might growl a bit with a stihl in the kennel :msp_tongue:

Neil, there is one 090 that ran just as well as ricko's, and that would be Kerri McGreevey's 090AV, with his chains and kerri at the helm it was a hard saw to try to stay with, he is one competitor I miss racing against

Cheers
Will

PS, they are racing the 090's this weekend at the Crows Nest show, so if anyone is nearby come on out and cheer them on.

Thankyou for showing your saw.A kart engine in a chainsaw, how is that allowed, sounds a bit unfair on the rest. Dave Bonbright must be a very smart man to do that.
sir i just read some results in another forum and wanted to see if you got anything but realised ozflea is not your name, how did that impressive monster go, i thought my 090s are ahandfull.
 
Not unfair anything goes in open saws young Neil knocked them off with it at Dungog a few years back



Theres a few Kart engines saws around

Yes thats true for sure and he is not the only one, phil war (qld), greg mangles (nsw), keith Polsen (nsw) just to name a few, were also 090 specalists and could drive them well.
I guess i could easily name a dozen guys who have them and could run them anytime they please.

yes,,,,, the 090 visualy standard race will be popular at crows nest so anyone liveing near by, come on over saturday and enjoy the day.


Mcbob,,,, you need to cover that carby, i think wasps are nesting inside it............

What is the size of that tilly? 304 or 334? I'm at the start of building a stock muffler 6ci 394XP alky burner and I don't know if a 304 will be too much carb.

Them old Benders are what every saw should wear.

that old girl has some balls for sure, and could mix it with the rest if given the oportunity.
I personaly do not like that pipe, but its not my saw so it does not matter and i'm only talking from a competitor point of view.

my own 125's point to the block well, they are good performers and if i did not have better and more modern saws the old 125's would be 1st choice in the O100cc classes.
 
This saw was built so we could experiance what possibly the mythical Mac 102 may have been like the US820 is very similier from what i have found out
it's a pity the 102 was still born and never got into production as a Kart engine Americas days building kart engines was drawing to a close.

The 102 was indeed visually like the 101 but inside a few differences better porting chrome bore there are a few around but more collectable than useable.

I suppose the vertcal pipe puts you off Neil and i dont have the ability to build a pipe that points somewhere else so it will have to do.

Do you mean theres more of them.
That photo of the left handed machine looks dangerouse, the saw of ozfleas looks like it will go fast and that video shows its incredable, sorry mcBobs
