Ask Doug about that!
Is this about the hollow log filled with 10 inches id of concrete and then let grown for another 30 years. Lost my carbide chain on that log. Plus had to fix 3 other chains. Got up set and took the big splitter across the log and then found the concrete in the middle. Free craigslist log.

No Doug, hedgefest and 3120 with 60" bar! [emoji2]
 
Howdy everyone!

It is a beautiful Sunday. I got to ride around the countryside with my best bro yesterday, and got home safely. Today, Emerson has ushered in the Age of Mobility, signaling its onset by scootching himself off the bed onto the wood floor. he seems to be perfectly fine, but there was a tiny nosebleed. So we stayed home from church. Called my wife, and she advised calling the Dr. office. The on call doc told me what to look out for, and I have seen none of those signs. He eats, grins, plays, and sleeps normally. What a relief. The bed is two feet off the floor, and there was no rug on here side of the bed. There is now. We will now have him in a safe enclosure whenever he is not in our sight. lucky I have a tough kid.....
 
Afternoon gents! Carved this for Wade Landry"the Cajun fiddler" from Branson.

It was designed to look like it is crawling up his mic stand. He and his wife come up to Fort Scott a couple times a year to be our special guests at our country music show that I help my dad put on once a month. They have the God and Country theater in Branson, Mo.

Put together an 026 this afternoon. Something's not quite right with it. Might be a leak somewhere or the carb just isn't very good (pieced together out of a box of carb parts I have). Done messing with it for today. I'll have to get back at it tomorrow night if I'm not too tired after work. It was one that I cleaned the cylinder out and put a new piston in (aftermarket - meteor).

Did you diagnose what caused the piston damage to begin with. I have rebuilt 6 this year like that and almost every one had a bad flywheel side crank seal fail to cause the vacuum leak which burned them up.

You might should do a vacuum check on that case with the intake and impulse line on to check everything out.

Which carb is on that one? I have about a dozen 026/260's and 90% of them have carbs with only a low needle. They always give me trouble so I just toss them and replace them with aftermarket ones with both needles.

Yeah, I was feeling lazy today and didn't pressure test. I did replace the flywheel side oil seal regardless. Its not a matter of if, but when it goes bad. I just replace them now on all these I work on to save me trouble down the line. My theory on why it was burnt up in the first place was just lack of air cooling and being pushed too hard with a dull chain. There was literally no possible way the flywheel was pushing any air around the cylinder. There was so much gook (fine sawdust mixed with bar oil) that the flywheel was totally encased in it. I just wanted to hear it run to see if that piston would even work. It'll start and run, 4-stroke at WOT, but just doesn't want to stay running at idle. I'm running a WT-22B that I had laying around. I'll pressure test next, fix any leaks I have, then try a known good carb off my personal 026.
 
Howdy Grits.
Hey everybody.
Going to start cleaning up the 670 this evening, get it ready for the new coil that's coming. :)

How ya doin'? I took a bath in saw gook today cleaning that 026 I put together. I pretty much rely on compressed air and a nylon brush. I was real tempted to go pick me up a parts washer today, but figured I'd save my cash for more saw parts.
 
I hear ya on cleaning an old saw. The cleaner it gets the dirtier I get. :laugh: Took everything off except the cylinder then compressed air to get the loose stuff off, then over to the washer tank with purple power/water and a good stiff parts brush scrubbing. Blow all of that off, then a light spray with brake cleaner and more compressed air to dry everything up. The plastics will have to wait till tomorrow night, though. One of my favorite shows is on now. Mountain Men. :clap:
