I've been using the 6203 Z rated EM bearings because they have a higher RPM rating, but C3s are fine.
And if you happen to get 6203 bearings with the
seals in them, You can just pop the seals out.
All the crank seals i have been getting are oem.
Bobs Lawnmower, Discount marine, or vintage vixon
on ebay had a bunch. There will be 3 seals, all
different.

Cpr had a saw like that as well where there was a piston that was significantly smaller than the bore. Is it possible that was done on purpose? Dont see where that would seem like a good plan.
I honestly thought I'd been setup with a "test" by the owner of this saw

Ah!.....the good ole test for dummies!......Hahahahahahaha!
Sure isn't like building a modern saw! I still don't have the sloper from northern Ohio, lol. I'm still waiting for him to tell me how much shipping is. He actually takes it down and has it weighed. Then I have to mail him a money order. Old school all the way
Here's a MC 91 engine that arrived this week. This baby is nice. I would pull it down for a good cleaning before running it, but it looks to be in excellent condition. So, what should it go in, a 250 for some 44 variant? What makes for the cleanest conversion, AV, auto oiler, etc.?
I had no idea these carbs were so big! I think this monster would fuel a SBC!
And here's a nice new handle for my 101 saw.

Send it too me, Ill stick it in a hybrid of sorts. Then ship it directly back.
Worth a try anyways. I think a nice new paint job on a 250 with black top and the super lid, or drill ya some holes... Full wrap, and big dog. 30" roller nose.
Sounds perfect to me... 44s have a good look to them, that I almost prefer over the 250s

Go with the 250, will be the easiest to build.

Finally! The 101 block should be headed back from Terry with the new piston, bearings, bolts, etc. The sloper should be headed this way today as well.

Glad that it's coming along. I hate to confess my ignorance, but no one else is willing, or they all already know, but what in tarnation is a sloper?
Its a special intake that lays back at an angle instead of pointing straight up.
Yes the regular Kart intakes will interfere with the tank, but supposedly the sloper will fit under the tank. The stock SP125 intake is small and it only has two reeds. The slopers are usually V4's, which means they have four reeds in a "V" formation. This type of reed setup greatly improves the flow.
The biggest intakes are V12's which take two carburetors. They interfere with the tank, so with this setup a custom tank can be built. Here is one that recently sold on Ebay:
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices
Here is an old Saw King video that shows a kart saw with a straight intake and a custom tank. Cuts pretty good.

Wow!.....that V-12 sold for $139.......I better put a few on ebay.
No doubt! AS really drives the price of parts up. All these 101 build threads and prices go through the roof. Definately a sellers market. BTW, I'm still looking for something like a Gem muffler if someone has one they'd sell.
