Building the ultimate sleeper saw.... 46cc Craftsman into a ported 72cc

[barneyrb]

What do you builders think of raising the transfers some? They are at 130 now. Exhaust is 100. I was thinking 122ish.

Ed, by doing the math 4* (on a 32mm stroke) should be equal to ~.028 and that would be a lot to raise the transfers IMHO...

Ed, I have several carbs. that are from the big Pioneers and Poulan Pros. Let me know if they will work and i will send you what I have. Tom

Yea... But Stihl transfers are a little slow on the uptake, so they need a head start...
And stuff...

Congratulations on capturing the true essence of hot rodding so rarely seen today. It's like the days of V8 Pinto's and Vega's or model T's with big V8's. Anyone remember Opel GT's with 354 and 392 hemi's? Take the bigest engine you can get and put it in the smallest and lightest car. We sure scraped a lot of good Impala's, Imperials, and Ford LTD's just for the big blocks that we put into Camaros, Novas, Challangers, and Mustangs.

Well said. You must be a true old school muscle car lov'in quarter mile gear head. I'm young to be one myself. I started very young. Rod Runs in the 70's and 80's were off the chain. My youngest memories are of falling asleep in the back off a 66 Chevy Carryall. It was the hauler and pulled a 57 Chevy running F Experimental, dads car. Those were the days and I was three maybe four. Trips looked cool and I learnt me some tuning tricks there at Atco.

Maybe you should sell the bushing so everybody can do this mod... flywheel too?

Bite your tongue
shh

Forkin awesome Ed

Very well said.

Take that handle off dead give away, com on'. One more slit on the top. Go half the width on the opening and lengthen it. Needs a 16" all grey stock bar.

Ok, I need one of these projects. Just left a message to a clist add. Let me know who wants to unload a lowly 2.8 crapsman. My buddy will never believe it when I out cut his 038 super!

It should eat up a stock super. The 038 Mag jug is a pretty big bore for the fin size. That helps hid the cool factor under the hood.

Hope to get a 54 mm on the 3500. Saves having the off-set crank pin and issues and stuff and stuff...

Nice build! Take a look at the PP455 and 655 carb setups.

What saw models are the same as this 2.8? I have found a poulan 3000 & 2700 that look the same, but what were the craftsman equivalents? Most 2.8 i see are newer & i assume different. Thanks

Shoot, I see the Poulan prices rising now. :msp_wink:

Remember folks, these saws are junk! This whole build was ment to be a joke. Move along now. LOL

 

[Tractorsaw1]

Ok let me rephrase this. Which saws are similar or share the same bottom end? I assume the poulan 2700 & 3000 are the same with different cylinders. Want to make sure I get the right junk ones headed to the dumpster:msp_biggrin:

Hey now, we only run junk for FUN. I'd like to see how many cords it chops up before going boom. The head turning factor is worth the build

Very interesting project Ed.

I don't have the time, patience, or tools to do anything like that. Guess I will just keep playing with my yellow ones for now.

[barneyrb]

Ed, be glad when you feel up to posting a video.

 

[Streblerm]

Bump.

I think lots of people (including me) are hoping you feel well enough to post a vid. opcorn:

 

[DSS]

I never saw one before so I guess I can wait a day or two. I know I don't feel much like running a saw when I got the flu.

Carb is ready to mail this morning ! Hope you feel better soon Ed !
