Nice looking new toy what did the soak you for it down there.Do you like those bars i have no luck with them at all tips always chip out or fly apart.:chainsawguy: :chainsawguy:

Well, I've never worked hard enough to need dawgs, but those sure look upside down to me. It seems when you are lifting the handle the dawgs should be pointing slightly downward , if that makes sense?

P put a small husky together with the old clips the other day, because I didn't see the new ones until it was all together and I was throwing the piston box away. I was too lazy to open the saw again. It's a 254, so maybe not powerful enough to throw them out.

No the dawgs point up.. to dig in as you rotate the rear of the saw up. Pivoting on the dawgs.

[sILlogger]

this is how she looks after a day in the woods. didn't get to run but about 1 1/2 gallons of fuel through it, cutting alot of scroungy stuff, one of those days where u work your *ss off and don't hardly get anything done. if im looking at it correctly i believe the part #'s for the spikes are 1122 664 0501 and 1122 664 0506

Look @ the roller type chain catcher, there's only one set of mounting holes for it and they are on the bottom,,,,,,,,, if the saws good then its worth putting the right ones in!!!! JMHO

Thanks

sILlogger, Thats the part numbers I had..........but had not seen a set,
That is the size I want

Heck, you wore the name off the bar in one day!

 

[sILlogger]

the name was wore off the bar by lunch time, i only got to cut about 6 trees after lunch, we were having to push a path to each tree and clean around them because of all the brush and russian olives. and then we have to pull all the trees back into the woods with the skidder cable to keep them from going into the field...time consuming as h*ll, but i pretty much got all that BS done today, so it should be clean sailing tom.

Trigger..if i was you i would go ahead and get the roller chain catcher, i personally like to mount it to the inside dog, well worth it to me....hope the #'s help

the powerhead, was $956.25($890), out the door including tax, they exchanged ou the stock dogs, change catcher, and muffler cover, and all i did was pay the price difference. ($10, $890+$10=$900, rest was tax) i bought just the powerhead because i had the brand new powermatch in my toolbox, and a stihl bar would have been an oddball on my saws) i usually have pretty good luck with powermatch bars, i do prefer a windsor, but the darn tips are such a pain to change that im gettng away from them. been doing any cuttng up there?

Never been in there

Having never been inside to view the clip retaining the wrist pin I have to ask; Is it your typical cir-clip with two holes for cir-clip pliers or is it a spiral type ring. If it is the typical type you will probably notice on close examination that one edge is formed much squarer than the other which is slightly rounded.The square edge should always be facing you as the clip goes in so that the clip has a better seat in piston groove.Imo the position of clip gap would not lead to clip failure.If it is the type I've described why is'nt anyone using the correct pliers?( built lots of engines but not chainsaws)

nope, different clip type, this is a wire clip, made out of a spring type steel, no plier holes just bent wire, but i do know several of the large engines that i have rebuild had the type that you speak of but not the chainsaws.. good into tho

Wrist pin clips are round section wire. The clip gap position is highly important!The ends of the clip will flex if placed at he 3 or 9 o'clock position when the piston reverses direction. Gap must be at 6 or 12 o'clock or the clip will end up out of the piston.

The gap needs to be at the 12 o'clock postion - the lower postion has an adjacent slot cut to get the clip out and it's important that this is bridged by the clip.
