Huztl FarmerTec 070 Build Thread with upgrade info and completed saw

[Bedford T]

I finally ordered my 090 cylinder. Meteor does not make a kit so I got one that is made in Taiwan and comes with a guarantee and is in the US, I am doing a 440 project too so not sure which comes first but really looking forward to the meteor upgrade. I have the oem decomp and will install it first on the 090 cylinder. Nothing was wrong with the FarmerTec cylinder, I needed to remove the cylinder to replace the decomp and decided I wanted a 090 so i did it. will update

Here is the cylinder. Looks good. look forward to putting it on

Are you planning any grinding on the 090 cylinder?

 

[Bedford T]

Do you mean porting? No to that. I see nothing that needs grinding otherwise.

You didn't notice the mismatch at the base with this version of the 090 cylinder? You gotta match the cylinder base to the case if you want it to run right.

 

[Bedford T]

No I did not. My 070 cylinder is installed and so I can't see the base.

I did not know there were different versions. So a oem gasket will not match up to the cylinder?

I didn't mean to say different version, I just meant it doesn't match up like you'd expect.

 

[Bedford T]

Thanks for heads up. I laid a 090 gasket on it and the bolts are off. I am returning it.

i came back around to it. i put the 070 gasket on it (not seated) and the bolts line up. i tried the 090 gasket again and it in fact fits. so in the photo that has the gasket seated where is this grinding required? if you dont mind giving me more information. you told me there was a fire just share where its at. the 070 is laid on the 090 gasket if that helps. thanks

Depending on where there's better room I'd consider these two options.
1: cut a small section of collar away and tunnel through...


2: cut the entire lower section out similar to open port designs, but the bridge between the upper is still intact...

Are these still running good? I'm considering getting one for a go-kart or mini bike. Should be pretty easy to make more power than a mildly built 212 predator with the 090 jug and a woods port. Is there any word on the stronger clutch coming out? If not I'd just take the current clutch apart and weld a sprocket to it to run to a jackshaft and use a go-kart clutch between the jack shaft and the axle.

 

[Bedford T]

Mine runs good

Ive had this saw for a couple months now. I've planked some beautiful boards with it and used it to take down half of a chestnut tree when i realized the tree haf gotten much bigger than i remembered and my fathers mac 700 didn't have a long enough bar.

I had mainly gotten this saw as a hobby to start making furniture. I got out of the Marines back in june and i notice about a month later (and so did the dentist) i started to grind my teeth again in my sleep. So i figured it was because i didnt feel like i wasn't doing enough anymore.

The few things that i did to the saw was ditch the carb that had came with it. Thanks to this thread i was prepared because when the saw came in the carb was junk and untuneable. I've also disabled the governor which made the saw feel more alive. I did also polish out the elbow that attached the carb to the air box. (Really because i was bored one evening). And today after i was cutting some dried walnut i noticed there were some super fine dust inside the airbox. So i ended up taping off the top of airbox cover and tried to make a gasket using flex seal and i can now see much better sealing around the corners.

I also have two bars 1 huztl 36" and one tiger 25"

Im also very interested in the new 660 clone they just released.

I figured I'd do one more picture before tonight end.

Well my wife made the statement that she has never know me to be so quiet and asked if I was looking at p or n.
I’ve been reading this thread for about three days.
Ordered my 070 kit today.
We’ll see.

 

[Absolution]

Trust me im still trying to blow it up.

With the oil port question popping up about different guide bars would the
Holzfforma 36'' Guide Bar .404 .063 104 Drive Links For Stihl 070 090 088 084 076 075 051 050 MS880

be an ok choice for my 070 kit on the way?
Was it ever decided who had the “good” design on the decompress valve?

 

[Absolution]

I have the 36" bar, the laminate peeled off and it does seem be very flexible compared to other bars. I believe this bar would be a better match.

[CharlieD]

Will that match up with the adjuster and oil ports?

 

[Absolution]

According to the description yes it will.
