070 coming along! Got the lower end done. Dealer having troubles getting the felt washer so going to make one. Been over a week asked Friday they said they have no idea when. So I will get on with this and finish it up tomorrow. Fire it up and see how she runs.

I wear size 14 boots. I have a short 1x4 plank that I stick in handle and stand on end. Works well no need to put to in boot chainsaw kits and packing lists http://thechainsawkitguy.com http://YouTube.com/c/the1chainsawguy

Hey Bed a great idea about the small plank to secure saw. My foot will not actually go in the handle, but my toe will kind of go in. My foot is smaller than 14 though. I took the small plank a little further. I took a limb and tuned it up a little to hold the saw with a hook in in it. Put one end under a log with my foot holding the other. It make me feel way more secure. I did get a bunch of decomp valves from Germany so if any body needs some I have them. It appeared to be a very important issue to running larger bore saws. My 075 has been sitting around for years because it seemed like a hassle to get it started and a little dangerous. Now it has some new life. BTW maybe get another 070 just for fun now. Thanks

Great idea too. I quit trying to struggle with it and did what works, sounds like you did. It's actually boot size with hard toe if you buy to fit it hurts. Buying out of Germany is helpful they have things not available here. Will keep decomp in mind if they fail me, thank you

Of course you need his answer but until then I bet he got the ones he showed us. Go to the German place link I sent you and look it up or

Perfect I missed this. I had a general link to that sight had not seen the valve. Thanks!
 
Ok she's done! Just finished it up and no left over parts. Everything looks good. I did a good woods port job on it. Really the only thing I am not happy with is the muffler bolt near the handle. I put the handle then the muffler but my 10mm socket and or wrenches do not fit to tighten muffler all the way. So wait for my son see if he has a socket thin enough to get in there. Thats a very tight fit.IMG_20180529_215259.jpg IMG_20180529_215316.jpg IMG_20180529_215054.jpg

You must use a wrench to get in there. If my memory is correct. Did you go with stock cylinder 070 or 090? Putting carb nuts on is tight too.

070 cylinder. Yes end wrench worked best but o my so far. I am going to heat up a China 10mm each wrench and make a custom bend and grind it to fit nice.
 
Yes removed the muffler install handle then put muffler on. I got the handle tight, left side muffler bolt tight but right side the tight side I was only able to run it down. Needs to be tightened up. I will get it. Work on it more tomorrow and fire it up.
