remington super 770 new to me

Seals leak, bearing are loose, has 135psi compression, I am tearing it down right now.

135 psi is quit good for them actually.

Makes you wonder what elevation that he is at? Could be higher?

O.K. It's all apart, I will have to remake some of the gaskets. Did a little clean up as well. Whole thing seems a little crude. The crank shaft seal on the clutch side doesn't seem to be well designed. I don't have the words to describe it right now. Elevation is about 700 ft.

Just saw Clark from national lampoons Christmas Vacation take the Pro Mac to the loose corner post at the top of the stairs made me chuckle a bit.

Always wonder about the clutch side seal(s) myself. One seal rides on the drum 'spigot' and two seals on the drum bearing ride the shaft.

Kind of goofy arrangement.

Two or three rings?

The old timers don't usually have high compression. On the other hand, do you feel up to cranking over 82cc at 160psi? There is no release.

Old time low octane 'tractor gas' may figure in to the equation.

Tim, check out this thread, it's where a lot of us from the area hang out, bs, and plan get togethers. We're working on doing some work at the Interfaith Caregivers site by Danbury next weekend. We help cut and split wood for needy families up there a few times a year.

Hi, I met a fella at Boyd's in Dresser he was telling me about this. I'd like to work with you guy's, sounds like a lot of good. Did you get my work phone number?

 

[Steve NW WI]

I'm at Boyds way too often for my wallet's well being. He's WetGunPowder on here.

You need Dolmars.

Yes I got your #, no cell service where im at right now.

 

[syrupmaker70]

Yeah, my cell phone only works when I am outside, but sometimes it will ring in the house then I have to run outside. I do get messages.

 

[syrupmaker70]

I've always needed a Dolmar, wife will disagree and it's to close to the holiday. I must proceed with caution.
