[Mastermind]

no, hes just calling you a clown. clown.

sweet can i ride on the top of the van too.

Yes.

I don't recall mentioning your wife? She seemed normal and very nice when I met her, I assume she must have lost some sort of bet prior to the nuptials?

Something like that. :msp_mellow:

Randy, I need to make a visit anyway and I have enough room for how many ever saws you need help haulin, and stuff. :msp_wink:

Maybe we can meet in Knox County and convoy......

Fixed.

And another one joins the "land of the living". lol I got the crankcase half, swapped out on the JD60v. She roared to life a few minutes ago, and settled into a nice idle(after adjustments). Just got to fab up a clutch cover, and she is all good

 

[Guido Salvage]

Fixed.

Maybe they could get more saws in the S-10...

This one say's it'll eat anything.... at the gtg:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange: harvester bar, .404 square ground... and LARGE displacement. Winning combo!

Randy, use of the word "anything" in the context of outcutting wood could be ill-advised. Every time I say such things I eventually regret it. If you are "taking the gloves off"
somebody will likely respond in kind. I don't know how big the biggest wood will be, but it would matter I assume.

Guess I should get a b/c, huh? What rim would be optimal for the Emu Special?

Get a 9 pin.....for long bars and a 10 or 11 for short bars.....of course keeping the chain on might take some tweaking to the bar.....

I gave Ernie some rep, just for hosting this...lol

On a sadder note, the Mall 11 probably will miss this GTG. I think i found the issue. Amazing this saw tried to run, with a practically non-existant magneto side crank seal.:help:

 

[Guido Salvage]

Ernie,

Welcome aboard! I plan to be back on Friday, let me know if you need help on the mill. We can also check to see if I have a pulley that will work on your tractor. Let me know if I need to bring a table or two.

To elaborate on my previuos post, I have been fighting this thing for a couple months now. Igpoe mentioned to me, that these MD carbs are extremely intolerant of dirt, so that has been my main focus. Today, I broke down and vac-tested it, and it would not hold anything. Tore the powerhead down, and lo and behold, the seals are wasted. The clutch side is not real bad, but the mag-side is torn in three places.....both seals are stiff as a board. Thankfully, i have not ran it but a few seconds at a time. But, as i pulled the cylinder off, I also noticed the is a spot, under the exhuast port, where it looks like the plating has peeled away:bang:.
Looks like it happened a long time ago, so i am not sure if it will hurt anything,(saw has great compression)

Anyway, that is the progress report for today...lol

Dean, if you read this, PM me. You mentioned a fix for these Magnetos, one time....but i can't remember exactly what was involved. Mine still has spark, but the coil is cracked up, pretty bad.

Since it still has spark, try to seal up the cracks with some silicone or similar product.
