Okay so my CAD took over and hopefully I didn't make too bad of a buy. Agreed to buy this in the Trading Post as I "need" a top handle and thought it might be fun to do the project.

http://www.arboristsite.com/tradin-post/238204.htm

Redmax G310TS Piston scored, top handle cover missing, pull cord missing.

Only reason I'm wondering is the top handle cover is No Longer Available and the piston is about $35 new. Where might I be able to find the top cover used? Any thoughts on this?

I also liked it because it's red. Red is my favorite color. In fact I was on the TSC website today looking at the Johnsareds and they actually are pretty nice looking.

 

[BigDaddyR]

Never worked on one of them,but can't be much different than most?

1st saw I've worked on that has been this far apart as far as handle so don't really have a benchmark. I'll figure it out.

Nite John.

Another day on the install.......got the engine beds mocked up on hosses yesterday and did all the mods to them so the motor sits right in without any parts or hoses touching...got some pics...now I will make 1/4" plywood templates of the changes and take them aboard to do the alterations. I could never have done it this well trying to do the fit in the boat.....no room to see...let alone mark. Should have the engine aboard and in place today, alterations were done with the engine centered in the beds, but won't do the glassing until my new "Alignment Tool" arrives the middle of the week...won't know 100% if I have enough clearance everywhere until I have the engine aligned perfectly with the drive unit.....may have to shift one way or the other a little 'cause who knows if the beds are centered with the drive.

Birdie picked up his 262XP yesterday morning.....had to change out the muffler.....he said he couldn't stand it...even the old girl who owns the woodlot he cuts on came down and wanted to know if there was something wrong with his saw!!...LOL!!! So now I have a sweet (But loud) dual exhaust "Walker" style or "Walker Clone" muffler for my 261/262XP ported conversion. His saw is well broken in now....did a comp test while I had it apart....210 lbs 4 trys in a row....piston looked perfect....modded a stock muffler for him.. more flow but still has the screen..(legal)....he was much happier...we cut a half dozen 24" spruce cookies and got it dialed in...14,100 is where she seems to like it...a little fat but 262s seem make better power just a tad fat.........good to revisit one of my ported saws with a good amount of hrs on it...I think it lost a bit of top end with the new muffler but the owner is happy....no charge.....but Bird said he would drop by a sixer of tall green cans!!!!!! Works for me......

John , you should get one of them party tents for your big scocial .
Our record rainfall since 1953 was 1.5" for June , we're at 5" so far this month with more to come LOL

Hmmm , Robin , 2 types of "Engineering" come to mind , as planned and as built , sounds like you're gonna cross both at the same time .
I'll have the emergency access tool and the algnment tool to straighten things out sent to you .

 

[Cantdog]

Yeah looks like that would straighten things right out!!!!!:hmm3grin2orange:

Great day today! Where to start...
First, I found a pioneer 620 to pull a coil from for my 450. Second, one of the other guys said he has 2 or 3 old magnesium felling saws he will give me if I make a gasket for his stihl 015. He said he might also have an IEL beaver! :msp_wub: Then, I bought a nice 1920s Harris cutting torch for $4! And to top it all off, my dad bought a tractor for us to restore for a winter project. It's a cockshutt (oliver) 60. Some goofball tossed on a hydraulic pump, and welded a hydraulic bulldozer blade on the back. :confused2: I might build a log splitter from the parts after I torch it off the tractor. Oh yeah, I am starting working on getting my HAM radio license next week. One of the radio operators I know said he will give me one of his old 2 meter station sets when I get my license. It will be nice to be able to use something other than the handheld I could afford myself.

Good for you..

I told Jimmy i would give him a 2mtr rig when he got his lic.
think he didnt get to far
