Ok back to working on the saw! Replaced the leaking seal and tested again and still had a leak. Tracked it down to the spark plug. Tightened it up as much as I could and still leaked. Replaced it with another and all is good now. Did a pressure test again and here are my results.

It must feel good to know the pressure holds now.

Hahahaha rise the cream to the top then sit back and have a few beers. Make sure you post pics...watching concrete dry is my favorite!!!

 

[PA Dan]

That is the plan! Working a little now but pictures will be taken outdoors. Muffler wont be here until Monday so I might have to improvise if she's ready to fire up tomorrow!

There's just something about a nice clean rebuild...maybe the contrast of the aluminum with the new powder coat. It just looks damn sexy!

Sweet you got the dogleg coil. Is that the original that came on the saw

 

[nikb47]

That's purdy!

Ok things are going but a little slow! Family life and activities go before saw building! Sorry for the delays. Got everything moved out to the patio.

Got the foil on!

Here's the new tank with the Madsens wrap handle ready to meet up with the case!

I had a 034 do that. It drove me crazy til I put a little air in it and found the plug gasket leaking.

Well, all those parts are clean enough to eat on, soooooo it should be okay to assemble on the kitchen table, right? Tell your wife I said it was okay, lol. Really enjoying the build.

 

[PA Dan]

Wife said something about it being on the outside table! She laughed when I told her you said it was okay for the kitchen table!
