Thanks for the tip. How does it hold up to fuel? OK after it cures?

Mine has been on my flywheel cover for about 2 years now. IF I fill the tank above 1/2 it leaks out the seam and drips on the flywheel cover. Wipes right off with sign of black coming off and no blister or lifting..

Thanks again guys for all the nice comments.
Tonight i worked on the ole girl and she is looking
really nice. I have to do the carb then get decals.
I'm searching for a couple small items to finish
it off but it should be running tomorrow.

Outstanding:clap: That thing is beautiful.
 
Well i got this big ole bad boy fired up this morning.
Had to richen up the carb from 1 1/4 out on the screws.
Which i thought was kinda weird. But i was able to adjust
it so she was sounding pretty good, idle and all. Then i
filled the oil tank. Fired it off again and WOW we have smoke.
Holy chit we had smoke, 30 seconds of run time and i couldn't
find my way out of the garage. HHMMM someting not right.
I emptied the oil tank and pulled it off. All gaskets looked good,
I clean the stuffer and it had a bit of corrosion which i thought
would be ok, Well weren't i WRONG. One tiny pin hole. No
wonder i had to adjust the carb rich. So upstairs i went and thank
god for spare parts. Now to put it back together with another stuffer.

She looks good Lee. Where did you find that sick looking bucking spike and how do you keep from getting the new yellow paint dirty with finger prints....wearing white gloves? Looking forward to see it run!
 
Fine job, Lee. You guys are keeping the old iron alive and that's a great thing. LOL...still makes my right shoulder sore just looking at it though.:smile2:

That's not a 797 Gologit!......this saw should make you left shoulder more sore......Hahahahahahaha!
 
Here she is up and cutting. Got the other stuffer
installed and seems to run pretty good. The chain
is a bit grabby in this wood. Not sure why it was
a new chain not long ago and never been sharpened.
Same B+C as on the SP125 i just did. Also running
an 8 pin spur. It's still a tad fat but it ran ok. Need
more time on it to get the rings to seat. I might recheck
the points to see if they closed up at all.

Man,,,, Lee that things so slick


That is awesome.... nice work,,,,
 
Sounds good Lee. I'm glad you found the rest of the parts to put it together so we could see a video:cheers:
 
Great job as usual. :msp_thumbup: And as usual, I want to have at least one saw that looks that good but I can't even handle a paint by numbers watercolor. Thanks for sharing, Lee. Ron
