Finished up the 066 RL

The saw looks great!

What wire?
I don't see any red ones

 

[hoss]

This got me inspired to put a new big bore kit on my 066, but I put the piston on with the arrow pointing back. After all the trouble getting that little circlip hammered into the piston, I don't want to take it apart again. Can I just put the cylinder on backwards too, or will the motor run backwards?
And if it does, can I just flip the bar?

And the award goes to......

Yeah, i tried that once.... The trouble is that you are turning the oiler pump backwards and you have to empty the sawdust out of your oil tank regular.

Be sure to turn the carb around too.

Those bucking spikes can be a REAL pain if you mess up.
