Hey Mike, did you bend your own pipe? I'm getting ready to trade for an 89 Bronco 2 that has a 93 Mustang Cobra 5.0 in it. It's running open headers right now. My son just bought an exhaust pipe bender from Harbor Freight and will be using that finish the exhaust. Just curious as to how you did yours.
 
Echo CS3000 #3 hit the bench this a.m.. Runs and cuts after opening low side a turn. 12" bar and oils like the Exxon Valdes.
You ever come across any rear handle versions of these little echo's let me know. they do pretty good with a 10" dime tip and 1/4" chain. I would be willing to trade some vintage mag for one to use as a backup carving setup for our ministry.

lumberjackchef: You betcha!

From the looks of it you can make a CS3450 out of a CS3000 by just swappin' over the handle setup. So, don't dump the handle stuff in the trash.

Baby Echo #3 all cleaned up and ready to rock.

At first I opened up the oiler all the way but, returned it to minimum as he oils like the Exxon Valdes.

Yep I took the little sponge out of the oiler tube on my 346 and that thing oiled like the dickens. I have a rear handle setup still. The one I have really only needs a carb and and oiler assembly to be running again.

Got all the plastic cleaned up on the Jonesred 670. Just waiting on the coil now. In doing some investigative thinking And snooping, apparently there is a 670 Champ and a 670 Super. The Champ looks to have the single coil and the Super has the dual ignition setup. Two flywheels, part # ending in 01 is Champ. Part # ending 02 (mine) is Super. That's the theory, anyway. :confused:

What's the difference for the flywheel? Advanced timing maybe?

Walked into the Stihl dealer this morning and the guys just says, "More parts?"........."Yep" I haven't been around there too long, so I guess I do enough business to get noticed. At least they recognize me. Most of the other dealers have somebody new at the counter everyday seems like.
 
Some pics of that 670 Steve??

Mac's J-Red that I completely rebuilt is a 670 Super with the two part ignition. His has a full wrap and the K&N air filter. The 630 I have is nearly identical save for the 48mm bore with regular front wrap and the standard nylon mesh air filter.

Not sure of the technical differences. Just that they are two different entities and I'm thinking they are not interchangeable.
The Stihl dealer down the street from me are pretty decent. Everybody has been there since dirt was invented. But they can be a little stand offish. It took a few years for them to realize I wasn't there to complain and try to get something for nothing. I went there today to see about a new flywheel nut for the 670. I could have reused the old one, but buggered it a tiny bit and thought I would see about a new one. He spent about 30 minutes going from one tech to another and digging in parts drawers trying to find one, but no dice. That means something in my book. I'll slip in there later and buy him a cup of coffee or something.

Right now its a pile of parts on my little TV table. When the coil comes in I'll put up some pics.
 
I wheelbarrowed two yards of concrete with a bit of help, then finished it out. Old guys have to go waaay past exhaustion and keep going till it's done, or we might as well sit on the couch, pick up the remote, and wait for the hospice people to show up.

Nancy just said something about there having been a "heat advisory" today. What is that? something for people who forget that it is July?

Sorry. As I age I become less indulgent toward others. I suppose it was hot. The concrete company used chilled water to keep it from setting up in the truck, so maybe it was a bit warm. if it weren't for all that mud, and if it were full of Rolling Rock, I'd have climbed in there myself. Except I get a bit dizzy now that I am mature...."
