Got some saw building work done today. Tested the lil Makita 340 for air leak, found none, air tight as a drum. Ported a cylinder for an 026 , cleaned up two more cylinders. Found a complete 026/MS 260 in a box of parts, pulled it down, cleaned it up, installed the ported P&C on it and reassembled, just need to open up the muffler and its ready to run. Found two more sets of cases and cranks along with the complete saw so cleaned them



Cuttin metal to length?
Yup. From 1/2" to 15" diameter.

Yer darn right he will !! LMAO !!
 
Saw builds are a success , the Makita now idles nicely, spools up and runs WOT just like it should, not a bad cutter for its size. The 026 fired right up but my ears will be ringing for a while from that noisy opened muffler and 190 lbs comp, need to have my ear caps on next time I run it.....LOL
 
Observations after runnin the 346 & 372

1) to cold for proper oiling with summer grade oil

2) both chains need more attention

3) both saws need a lil tweekin on the tune

4) comp on 372 must be better! Not the greatest chain and leanin on her hard with bar buried and couldn't slow it down!
