I'm really tryin boys to have this saw ready to go by the GTG... I really thought I had all the stuff bought for it. nope... carb bolts are wrong, no flywheel shroud, ... its amazing how small parts will hold you up forever from getting a saw together. I'm going to put a 28" brandy new B&C on this guy... so if someone wants it at the gtg... gonna bring $$ :)

at this point I doubt my hybrid has a chance of being ready... need to sell the 394 to fund the hybrid :)
 
A little over 2 weeks away. Looking to get a count of those coming.
I think this is everyone that has expressed interest. If you are coming please copy and paste and add a star next to your name. If I missed you add your name. And if you cannot make it scratch your name out.
Thanks

I believe my Brother Bruce is coming as well, don't know how to copy and paste the list from my phone so if someone could add Bruce B to the list I'd appreciate it.
 
Just a thought here. Let me first start by saying that I am not looking for free labor or anything like that, but I saw this on a few other GTG threads. Would anyone be interested in doing the work or seeing a chainsaw rebuild on the spot? I have a Stihl 029 that I was thinking of redoing with the Bailey's 039 NWR upgrade. Makes the 029 into a 039, or a 290 into a 390. If a member that is attending has the capabilities to do this type or rebuild, I would be willing to provide the saw and buy the 390 NWR bolt on engine upgrade with the plug.
As I said, just a thought here. It could be sort of a little rivalry amongst group get togethers on the forum here. Other groups have made videos and timed the rebuild.
Let me know either way so I have the time to get the engine parta needed.
 
someone wanted me to go over how to set up a degree wheel and get timing numbers, so I don't mind doing that, I just need to find a saw to do that on hehe

i might suggest not doing an 029 to start... for me, thats kind a complex saw to take apart. a husky 350 would be much simpler of a rebuild if anyone has a candidate saw. I can bring my dremel and do a little port and polish as well on the spot.

Took me a couple hours last one I did. I'm sure I won't have time but I'll walk you through it and help where needed if you want to do it. It's worth it!

I have a 353 I need to get numbers on. It's already apart. I need to get timing numbers for a baseline before I cut the case and turn the cylinder base down some. But I need a piston stop to set my TDC and to print out my degree wheel and mount it on something suitable that I can attach it to the flywheel. If you could help me get the Vaseline timing numbers I'd appreciate it.

Vaseline huh? Lol
 
So looks like 9 confirmed so far. Plus I've got a few local guys that want to come that I'm trying to lock down an answer from.
