Solo Twin....FINALLY!!!

[blsnelling]

Thanks Mark.



Do I hear an echo?

BLING!!! Time for final assembly and glamour shots.

Do you happen to know if there are differences in the inner and outer spikes? Mine only has an inside one at this moment and judging from my photos the spikes appear to be a bit longer.



Maybe just the perspective in the photos.

I thought they were identical until I tried to bolt the outer one to the CC. With just a hair of trimming, I believe they would be swappable. The bolt pattern is the same.

Do you happen to know of a source for a few spare parts? I could use a fuel tank, one coil, the top handle mount, and buckle for the engine shroud.

Congrats on getting that treasure going. Didn't know that you had been out of commission, hope it wasn't serious, and glad to hear that you can go all night without compromise.

Saw sounds and looks awesome Brad!!

Nothing serious. They just took my colon out, lol

Please forgive my memory, but did you or 3000 FPS do the welding for me?

Srcarr52 did a great job on the welding. Congrats on the saw Brad it turned out beautiful.

Is that handle 3/4" ?

I'd gladly install new hose if so.

Nice job Brad. Thinking I had that saw in my possession for a bit. She sounds great
and now gives me a little inspiration to get mine up and running.

Hope your feeling better.

Same here, Lee. Mine is said to be a runner, but haven't even tried to crank her up yet. Too many other saws in the queue ahead of it.

Congrats Brad. Looks and sounds great. Glad to see you are up and feeling like doing a few things.

That's a HORRIBLE job, lol. I'll have to measure it.

 

[LegDeLimber]

Compressed air and a bit of slobber, along with very careful padding & gripping in the bench vise, should get that hose on.

I have question/curiosity about powder coating.
Can you use a glazing or spot putty on a saw case, without it interfering with the powder coating?
I would mean used in a very judicious fashion. Just to fill the little pitted voids and then carefully, lightly sand away anything around the pits.
In other words, would those small spots cause problems with the way the powder covers things?

I'm kind of figuring it would, unless you somehow had a conductive putty.
Then what about the curing temperature for the powder?
Would the putty possibly outgas and cause bubbles?
Would thermal conduction through the workpiece vs the putty be a problem?

These are just a few thoughts that I could peck out before loosing the rest of the imagined , er um pit-falls.

 

[glock37]

epo strong on metal parts is whats used to fill in its heat activated yes its conductive it takes up too 3 to 4 coats to get the surface right ,sand then powder

yes powder does not fill in pits

400 degrees for 10 -15 min once the part gets to temp then remove and cool

we use 2 ovens one 10 x 10 x 16 and 8 x 8 x 24 thats feet

After installing a couple of 10' rolls, I'm fairly good at it.

Oh wow, must be a post on that, glad your better. You have the most interesting posts, but this is well, wow. JR

I APPRECIATE THE OFFER!

I finally got motivated and have the 110cc Twin disassembled and cleaned up.

These are the parts headed out for welding repair. @srcarr52

These parts are headed to Mike to be powder coated. @Glock37

All clean parts.

The 110cc topend, in like new condition. @Definitive Dave

New capacitors withe wires soldered on.

Time to repair the fuel tank.

Can someone tell me the rebuild kit PN for a Tillotson HL-185C? I don't see it listed.
