This came in for rescue. Very clean inside and running good again. It will be put back to use on big Cottonwoods.

What kind of muffler is on it? I'd have to check, but I still think I got one of the round chrome mufflers on my parts 1-80 saw.

It's a box muffler on this one, but I could use the round chrome muffler for my 1-52 project if it's in decent shape.

I'll take a look when I'm out to where I store some of my saws.

Some serious eye candy right there! Definitely have to make some video of it!

What's everyone been up to lately? Been quiet on here. Not much for saws here. Finally think I figured out that I got an air leak on the Dolmar 420. Need a new carb to cylinder boot. Finished the autopsy on the makita 6401 also. Both bearings are spinning quite nicely in the case halves so that's just what I wanted to see. Never felt like checking if the crankshaft is straight, since I've already pretty well given up rebuilding this set of cases. Did run my 10-10 a little while last weekend until I had a lot of bar oil coming from somewhere on the top of the oil tank when I tipped it on it's side to refill. Anyone have a clue on why that is? Is there a duckbill valve up there potentially? I'm not familiar with the 10-series, and haven't had any time to look at ipl's or search the problem yet.

Haven't done much either, been busy doing other things. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Been piddling with the 1-86. Got one of those Chinese Stihl 070 carbs I modified the choke shaft to work.

And a wrench I made for these carbs.

Nice made choke valve. That's thinking outside the box there.

Well recently I got my Stihl 08 running and cutting. Next up on my bench is a pioneer holiday, a homelite xl12 and a pioneer 1200. After the Turkey time that is.

Little late to the party today, but happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hopefully everyone is stuffed from at least one meal today. Also, enjoy the last moments without the seemingly forever lasting Christmas music lol.

I haven’t posted in a long time, but I just finished my Poulan 361.

You think this would work on your front handle?

Didn't do no saw work today, rained all day and still is. We kept busy building a hog trap.

I don’t know, it may be worth a try

One carb rebuild and my Wright blade saw runs . . . at least as long as I can keep putting gas in the line . . . . damn this thing is thirsty.
