Central Va. GTG 2013

[Roanoker494]

OMG! ! ! You're putting a lot of effort, not to mention money into a saw that might sit on a shelf for months at a time. But the if it runs, we'll have to demo it all over the country! Few have ever seen one run! How is the 070 bowsaw? We're gonna all need cameras as these AS dudes don't believe defacation has a foul odor without videos!

This saw will not beat me........... I have also tracked down a feller that built an intake and converted his to run on a Tilly HL, so that will be an option if fuel parts completely disappear from the market.

The 070 is doing fine, turns out the clutch problem is a missing bushing and I still want to replace that half stripped nut.

What z up fellers??

I have put in for the days off and all looks to be going according to plan. Adding more saws, rebuilding some of what I have and in all hopes Dean's DO-101 will finally be up and running by that time. I am throwing everything at the DO this time around including a NOS fuel meter and I finally tracked down reproduction fuel pump diaphragms.

:msp_confused:

So what's a DO-101?

 

[igpoe]

Do I have this to look forward to with the DO-100?

That depends on you! ! ! This is the saw I was telling you about. Johnny said DO-101, but he meant DO-100. You get yours unstuck and you too may have the luxury of searching the cosmos for parts and pulling on the starter rope until your face is a blue color. WOOHOOO! This kind of perseverance is uncommon today.
I got that saw in a bunch of stuck saws a couple years ago. There were seven two mans, that DO-100 You've got and a stuck "A-900" Poulan. All have been unstuck successfully except for that DO-100 to this point in time. Best of luck. When you see mine cut wood at the GTG....................

Carl,
To make a long story a little shorter, it's one half of a Disston-Mercury DA-211 fashioned into a very strange one-man chainsaw with it's own style carburetor and a manual clutch!. It commonly used a "straddle" chain whereas the chain had side overiders to hold the grooveless bar. I forget which style bar and chain was on mine. It's been a while since it was in my shop, but I've Never given up hope! Johnny took on the extreme challenge of overcoming it's quirky design and making it run!

Wow! 1948-1949 now that's a chainsaw. I wanna see it run!

The DO-100 and 101 were the same saw with just a couple if cosmetic differences. Here is a short video of the first time I had it running after making a new fuel pump diaphragm, unfortunately my home made part did not hold to up to fuel well and the fuel meter was beyond repair.

Fuel meter

Fuel pump

Straddle chain

Yep, It's easy to see how simple it is. The workings of that carb would come to a person in a dream...........................a very BAD dream. Advertised as a "lightweight" at around 37 lbs.

Thanks Roan...Will I get to try it at the GTG?

Love the chain...

Me first!!!!! Then Johnny, then Carl, then...................... Hey Johnny, since you're a miracle worker anyway, why not sharpen that chain while you're sitting around with nothing to do but monkey with unusual saws. Might have to change his Avatar name to Magic Carpet Rider of Redwood, Va.! I've been rubbing brass lamps ever since I issued him the challenge. Also, on a slightly different subject....................PioneerFan once ressurected a Mac 47 to the point that it not only ran, but cut wood!!!!!!! No Small Feat

Looks like I'm coming! Bringing a friend with me and a few new saws as well. Can't wait to meet Randy Evans and run some great saws.

 

[Guido Salvage]

Things are looking better that I will make it as well, may not haul any saws with me for the trip but hopefully I can get a few of mine stored there to fire up and go.

Last I heard he gave all his saws away and was moving to Montana to be a Dental Floss tycoon...........

I have actually been eye balling that chain....... I have been reading up and practicing my skills on a old Mall 11 bar, the chain is rusted solid to the bar so can't do no more damage to that one. Once I am comfortable with these skills I may just take a swing at the DO-100 chain.

Johnny, I have to give props where they are due, you definitely have the "golden touch". After my somewhat "success" with the Mac47, Dean offered me another challenge saw. That very DO-100. I recognize the slight bend in the pipe fitting . I had just begun to tear into it, when I lost my job........so at that point, saws meant very little to me. I reassembled it, and gave it back at Rick's GTG in South Hill. Glad to see it is once again making someone say " WTF?!!! and HOW THE **** does this work".....lol It is a weird one to say the least. Congrats on getting it to run on it's own,....you definitely earned it.

I in fact remember seeing that saw at Rick's GTG sitting on Dean's trailer. I was pretty new with working on saws and thought it was about the coolest thing I had ever seen, had never seen anything like it. The first time I had the "fuel meter" apart was certainly a WTF moment, why the hell does it need a little spinny fan thing??? After the PITA this thing has been I hope to never see anything like it again........

Dean handed me the locked up DO-100 he's had....all of this talk is scaring me. Will definitely be asking some questions at the gtg. I also realize seeing one run will probably be the best motivator for ms to free this one and at least try to make it go. My hat is off to you.

Just looking at that IPL of the Fuel Meter makes my A___Hole wanna chew tobacco. I could never fix something like that.
