Goofed? Yeah, I bid $430 when I mean to bid $330. Imagine my surprise when I realized how much I spent to win... 
Owell, I think I did OK. You tell me though - this is my first 066....
SN: 1 47 356 xxx, MD 0004, poly flywheel, carb is a WJ69. But the P&C were replaced with a "New West" unit. Hologrammed "NEW WEST" sticker on top of the jug. On the clutch side, the following is cast on 4 lines: "V, 4H, 1122, NEW WEST" and on the flywheel side is cast on one line: "54ZN12 W2". Bore is 55mm, piston is 53mm and wrist pin is 11mm. Looks like the kits Bailey's sells.
Of course, the monkeylad who did the replacement re-used the old gasket - at least it was the plastic-clad metal but.... there's a 1/2" long leak on the exhaust side. Spinning the flywheel by hand shows lots of bubbles. Gee, maybe if they guy cleaned off some of the crap, he could have gotten a halfway crappy seal , instead of the totally crappy one.
P&C look fine through the muffler. But monkeyboy he left the exhaust gasket on the bench, or under the bench, or where ever he dropped it when putting on the new jug. Because it isn't on the saw.
Hmmm.... Check compression: 165 lbs. Turn the screws full rich, crank the idle up a couple turns and give it a couple pulls. Fires right up and tries to jump out of my hands. Them saws is loud without a muffler! Sounds a lot like a .50 cal in a helo...
Notice I didn't say I put mix in the saw. Third ebay saw, third ebay saw with mix in the tank... :angel:
It's got a couple mickey mouse problems - gas cap leaks (old style 2 piece separating), small crack on the rear handle (stainless screen and epoxy to the rescue), the spark plug wire is as short as it could be and still reach the Champion spark plug. And the bar and chain he included are junk.
Specific Questions:
P&C: Anyone have any info on these? Are these the ones Bailey's sells? What's the consensus on these? Shouldn't the bore be 54mm (Didn't use the calipers, used a ruler; will recheck the meas. tomorrow)?
Carb: I saw a thread (http://www.arboristsite.com/showthread.php?t=26787) with some posts by Andy where he says this carb has a .64 main jet and that it's the same size as the pre-OHSA DP muffler so it can be richened up enough (post #5) but a few posts later (post #17) he says you want a .72 minimum main jet size as .66 is too small to crank up the RPMs. Or does this .72 mm only apply to the older carbs and the 69 is fine?
Muffler: I have a weird non-DP muffler. Never seen this style before. It has a louver on the side, next to the single port - no spark arresting screen though. Never seen this style before - the IPL shows them but not the application/country. What's the reason for the louver?
Air Filter: It's the Aussie HD filter (120 1601) with a felt wrap (141 0300). Still in decent shape but what's the recc. replacement? The regular HD one (120 1654)?
Bar Studs: I assume so but just to be sure.... Will the 441 "bigger shoulder" bar studs fit?
