Slakin today. Wife outlawed any work for me today. No working on saws, no splitting wood. Slept in and then took the DW for a motorcycle ride. Steaks for lunch and then napping. Theres always Monday, took it off for a sanity day. Lots of work will get done then.

Found a good use for the 4 cycle weed eater I got working last night. Oldest step son just bought a house and doesn't have one. This is a combi kit style so he could get other attachments for it as well.

Got the rewind spring supposed to be in tomorrow for the Echo so that will be my backup. No attachments but oh well.

Happy 4th. Hope everyone had a great day!!

What was wrong with the whacker ?
 
Long day. Got the crown up and caulked. Finished up a 7900 Dollar for my buddy and that joker screams. Now to finish my 288 up and get it ported. Put him back in his place! Hot and humid but no rain today for the first time in a while. Still have standing water all over the yard though....

Fuel lines were rotted off at where they went into the fuel tank and carb was a bit clogged up. Cleaned it, replaced fuel lines and got it running last night. Now I get to give it away. LOL. Was in the garage getting the bike out for my ride and gave it a few pulls and started up pretty easy.

What did you do to the Dolmar? Repair or upgrade?
 
Sorry John,.....I see you are trying to hold the fort down all by yourself and the rest are not much help......LOL
I have been trying to sand a canoe with one hand, talk on the phone and try to keep up with PM`s so I had little to no chance of posting on here.

No problem ! I am use to it ! :hmm3grin2orange:
 
I don't have much to say when I haven't been buying saws or working on them ! Been a Super Slug for a while !

I have quite a few other irons in the fire myself so only got the Contra on the go right now, still finding parts for it though....LOL

I have a 17' fiberglass canoe to rebuild so many hours of sanding and glass repair required. It has a lot of keel wear and the strengthening ribs need a lot of reinforcement applied. Good summer project.
 
Can't seem to find any saw deals in my area. Most are 3 hours away in more rural areas. Would like to find a good 50CC project like a 346 or 100-120CC modern work saw. Guess I ought to get the ones I have here out of here first. Making progress though. The Craftsman will be leaving this upcoming week once I get a chance to tune it. Then time for the top handle and two Macs.
 
Had to go and watch the fireworks with the lovely lady.......down in Castine Harbor.....set off from a barge.....very good show....long.....lots of sparks and bangs....several Bar Harbor Real Ales at my friends taproom before and after......going down by the nose now ...headed for the hay.....all done.....hot & humid.....94 here today....Phew....

Mac ! YACK !!!
 
Mac ! YACK !!!

Necessary evil. Mac 10-10A goes back to a friend and the PM605 will be mine to keep.

10-10A may be done , have to put it back together and test it out

PM605 has no spark so have to check the stop switch and the coil. Once running I'll probably clean and sell it.


Sent on the fly.

BB kit then the oiler line was missing. Did a muff mod and tuned it with the BB kit. Wicked saw that porting could only make better.

He picked it up with a straight gassed top end. BB kit on it, muff mod, and new B&C. She's a screamer now.




He just fondled it ! :msp_w00t:


Don't tell everyone....you said it was just between us!
