New Project 045 AV Super

[blsnelling]

It's a little wet. You can easily see how good a condition it's in.

Good threads. No cracks anywhere on the saw. None!

Notice the lack of chain marks.

What piece is this?

Handle mount on the chain cover side for a full wrap. So far I've found 4 different full wrap handles, and three different mount sizes/adapters...

Sand blasted and about ready for paint.

Go ahead and slaughter me. Yes, I stuck a screw in the fuel hole.

All the small parts. Most of them are clean and ready to go.

I hope I'm not boring too many of you. I'll post more as progress continues. BTW, all my pics can be found at http://photo.blsnelling.com/

Nice project saw...

If you need a gasket and seal kit.. I can likely get one for you (aftermarket) if you have problems.

Two things

1) Your muffler is assembled upside down!
2) where do the Donkeys fit?

Say it's not so!!!!:stupid:

2) where do the Donkeys fit?

I was waiting for that. They fit in my 8 year old daughters toy box, along with the rest of her Happy Meal toys:biggrinbounce2:

Those are genuine McDonalds. OEM all the way baby! The funny think is, I didn't even see them when I was taking the pictures.

Hadn't you heard? That's the latest in muffler mod technology. Good for at least a couple HP!

Keep us posted,,,,,

Thank you for the kind words. I enjoy doing stuff like this.

So how well will this old 87cc work horse pull a 36" skip chain? It'll probably get my standard fair woods port, unless you guys advise me otherwise. How can I tell if mine has the steel sleeve on the clutch side bearing? I'm not sure since I won't be pulling the bearings or splitting the cases on this saw.

 

[Lakeside53]

it will pull a 36 skip just fine...

The steel insert was after serial number 110 963 561, so.. sorry...

A good "woodsport" for this saw would be to put on a mag2 muffler.. vents to the back and the front. You'll need to trim your cylinder fins, but I can send you the measurements/tech note. And then there the factory mod to the carb box cover...

but... why not leave it stock, and just get a mag2 project saw...

 

[blsnelling]

I'm pouring through the IPL for this thing trying to find the gasket behind the carb. I don't see it anywhere.

 

[Lakeside53]

The IPL generally only shows the aggregate of the latest changes. The gasket might belong to an early version.

If you have the boot sleeve insert, I don't believe you need the gasket.

Nice donkeys... :biggrinbounce2:

Do you really still use POR-15? I found the Eastwood paint much superior. ANd cheaper too. it's about the only "good deal" they have....

 

[Lakeside53]

Do you top-coat the POR-15 or just use it as an undercoat/primer? I didn't think it was UV resistant..

 

[blsnelling]

Actually I've never used it before. I bought this to coat the bottom of the mowing deck of my tractor. I bought the metal prep to nuetralize the surface rust, then the POR15, and then topcoated for the ulitmate in protection. I'm hoping that it'll stop collecting so much grass under the deck.
