Yeah. Yeah. The only video camera that I have is on my phone and it doesn't have a light. I will try and get one tomorrow. I did check the compression again after it cooled completely off and it's up to 170psi, up another 10psi in only a 5 minute run.

Oh and I found out today that 8mm wires make a better replacement because they fit tighter in the coils.

I wish that I had one of those aftermarket west coast toothy things to put on it though. The stock one seems a little small.

I glad to hear you're pleased. Let us know when you get that bar dirty. It is a not custom piece but my SP81E from the great NW came with a large MAC factory dawg* drilled to fit.

*Same as the left spike on your 125.

 

[rwoods]

Sorry, just noticed that it looks like your left spike has been clipped, too. Anyway, you get the point that you can use a full size factory spike if you drill a new screw hole. Ron

If I'm asking too many questions just tell me to take a hike. How did your final exhaust port compare in shape and size to the inlet of the muffler? Thanks, Ron

They aren't clipped. It's just some of my horrible photoshop skills. I could use one like that if I had one. Now that you mention it, I think that I have the perfect one for it in my in-laws basement. I will have to look for it tomorrow.

No, you're not asking too many questions. I like the attention. The stock exhaust was tapered quite a bit from the cylinder wall out to the muffler. The muffler port was actually bigger than the exhaust port itself. So I didn't change that at all. Just removed all the carbon build up.

 

[rwoods]

Thanks. Ron

Here is a short video for those that can't wait for me to make one cutting.

Nice work brother.

Thanks! It will probably still need soem fine tuning once I get to cutting with it, but I'm happy with it so far.

 

[Duke Thieroff]

Good **** man. Can't wait to see it in wood.

Well I didn't get to do any cutting at the in-laws this weekend because my FIL was sick. But, I did get to take the 81 over to Igpoe's this evening and make a few cuts on one of his logs.

Sounds good. What are you running a 7 pin or a 8 pin sprocket? Ron

It's a 7, but I think that it would pull an 8. I'll have to try it.

 

[rwoods]

I'm planning to set up a 3/8 24" bar PM800 with an 8 pin and a .404 32" with a 7 pin. I know you can bury them with a 3/8 28" with a 7 pin. Can't wait to get released to saw again. Ron

That's a cool pic randy. What year was that?

You can tell the saw is almost new and they came out with them for one year only in the early fifties. :msp_rolleyes:

Early '80s, I was a weekend logger at the time, I drove trucks 4 ten hour days, then logged for three days.
