026 rebuild port and 044 carb!

[blsnelling]

Yes I was able to make it so the factory choke lever works the hardest part was making the new little choke flap in the air filter housing. After I enlarged the factory hole to match the new carb the factory flap was to small. I had to remove the little baffle in the filter housing to get the new flap to open fully. I have never run a stock 026 but this thing has some real zip definitely think it may really beat me 346 (not modded yet)

Sorry I missed that. I hadn't stayed up with this thread like I should have. Very nice work indeed. I'd personally like to make the 044 carb choke functional and replace the 260 filter with something else.

You better watch that little screw, If it comes loose, that is going to be a BAD day!! Looks good. It is cool that you retained the master control lever.

Sad day for my 346

Well it is a sad day for my 346 today I actually used my 026 for working in the woods and I am sad to say it puts the 346 to shame I will be using the 026 a lot. That thing packs a heck of a punch for a small saw. As a dedicated Husky guy it kills me but he proof is in the cutting.

 

[welder15725]

I need proof. Where is the video??

 

[matt9923]

Just saw this for the first time. Awesome job!!

What paint did you use and did you bake it, i may have missed it while skimming threw.
I have to do one up like that soon. But i wont want to use it.

 

[Guarddog1]

The paint is peeled now in a couple spots from use. I do not mind as long as it is from use and not abuse. They all get a little beat up as for a video I will try.

Great thread, awesome build.

 

[Guarddog1]

Here are some pics of the saw complete has some run time on it now and what a great little saw I would almost say this is my go to saw now. Anybody that runs it just smiles ear to ear.

Point well taken I believe the picture may be a tad deceptive. I merely ran the shape that was there down to the base I understand the concept that the lower could be the size of a small car however its flow will be regulated by the smallest opening (top ports) I just tried to smooth it for a less disruptive flow of gasses. Again thank you, all advice is much appreciated as I am still learning and hope to always be.

How exactly did you port the exhaust and stock is it that far off and the flow disrupted? I assume its like porting a car intake or exhause manifold grind it till you have a passage between the cylinder and exhaust manifold or muffler that is exact with no bumps or disruptions of the flow,
