[Meadow Beaver]

where?

When I did the cover I didn't completely blast it so the powder is over some old stuff making it look bubbled but its not.

Ah, I couldn't tell by the photo.

Matt,

If I would've been doing this job, I would have said about my self: "this time I've overtaken my self..."

Great job, and present us with a great video final.

Thanks, just came in to get the camera, i don't have a video camera at the moment tho.

I got a lot done on the saw, only had to work 2 hours.

It still needs some work but it runs and sounded good for the 2 min i ran it idle.
Going to have to find some hose or cork tape for the 2/4 wrap, dealer only can get it in rolls of 16 ft for $50.

I lost the whole tank vent assy and fuel cap, how I managed that I don't know I need to clean up. I robbed the 039 gas cap. Eventually ill get a tank/handle but it seems to hold gas and not leak. Ill repaint the plastic to.

Surprised me it ran even tho I didn't rebuild the carb I just used the old stuff, it was full of crud.

Looks good matt. What piston did you end up using?

 

[Rookie1]

Its lookin good Matt. The handle does look pretty rough when you put it next to the powdercoated engine. Lots of hard work paid off huh.

The piston and rings you sent. I'm goign to sent the meteor back and get one for the 066.

Stihl wanted $25 a ring. Thanks again!!!!
the ring gaps weren't to bad so I used em, i let someone borrow my compression tester so ill check it soon. It definitely has good comp.

[Meadow Beaver]

Porting saws just takes pratice just like anything else.
