Can you say AIR LEAK!!! This is on a 346XP that I ported and has been in commercial use for several years now. I went through the saw entirely because it wasn't performing correctly. It turned out that it was no longer going to WOT as the plastic end of the throttle rod and worn off. This seal has simply worn out, and worn the sealing lip off. The P&C and ring still look like new with almost no wear at all. I didn't even replace the ring. Thankfully, the operator is very good at tuning a saw, knew something wasn't right, and quit running it before the topend was hurt!

The saw would not idle down with the leaking seal. This is demonstrating that it can now be idled down until it dies.

I'm afraid that most do. That's why I'm so glad this guy knows his stuff!

Just recently went through and cleaned up this 028WB and converted to electronic ignition. It's running much better, but needs a little fine tuning...once the work bench is cleaned off

Found some rare kelly axe single and double bit axe heads.
Two days in white vinegar really does a good job you just have to oil or put some kind of protection on them.
I found some nice hickory handles too.

I fixed this 011 for a friend and he gave me this 30s-50s era Kelly's single bit these are my favorite style of axes.

I finished a few Kelly's/true temper lately i used watco and mahogany stain to make a unique color.

My bench has been idle. I've been dealing with complications from ulcerative colitis. I was admitted to the hospital for several days last weak with a CDIF infection. I'm at home recovering now. The Dr can't seem to be able to find a med to put me into remission.

We did help my daughter buy a car a couple weeks ago.

Finished up this Kelly's /true temper
Cruiser 28 inch.
I've never had one of
These before just the fullsize axes
It's very light and handy.

It ain't real radio unless the it can heat your house when it's turned on.

A friend of mine's 357xp I cleaned cylinder up and put a meteor in a while back is still running strong was in for pull cord replace and I checked tune. Sweet running saw. 550xp on bench as well, wasn't oiling. Still troubleshooting it.

Brad - sorry to hear about your medical issues. Sending prayers for speedy recovery.

Must resist urge to start collecting vintage axes...

On my bench - a Jonsered 80 and Jonsered XF - both recent arrivals. Both just getting a general cleaning and triage for now.

A friend has been using this broken handled 250 for firewood.
It got so it wouldn't start and has an oil leak.
I started working on it
It's got a trimmer pull handle makes it hard to hold on to pull it
And it had a lot of water in it.
Compression is good so i will go through it and fix it for him.
He can't afford another saw.
