Morning slakizens.
Long day today and tomorrow. End of the month is always a beeyoch.
My now running Hooskie 36 has a few issues. It goes crunch when I pull the chain around. Looked at the IPL and figured out they were running a new bar and chain for 3/8 on a .325 sprocket. Worn to say the least. Still usable for light doody?
3/8 spur NLA so looks like I'll go new/used .324 b/c. Also needs starter pulley. Starts but kinda krunchy sometimes. Pulley is worn. Guess I'll pressure test it also when I put a new sprocket on. Pulley is like $4 so cheap enough. Make sure seals are good.
Bearings. No real play laterally with saw on its side but about 1/16 up and down when pulling up towards the ceiling on flywheel. Normal?
