I apologize, I did not realize you took my post seriously. It was meant to be humerus.

I see what you did there.

No apology necessary muh friend. As a rule I find most of your posts to be humerus, so I've got no bone to pick with you.


But then again, I associate with "washed up has beens", so I may not recognize a "comical post" when I see one.:msp_rolleyes:
 
My bench is filled with a bunch of ####. Fun stuff: Two 048 jugs :msp_w00t: they BOTH look good!

A pair of 6401's wait to get pics of tear downs for you comical enjoyment.

Now for the PIA stuff...

Can I buy a 3mm sleeve to run on a wrist pin? Basically a pin on a pin. Don't ask.
I might be able to use a 1mm pin to make this project fly.

What tool would you recommend for cutting cir clip grooves in a piston?

I know it's tough but, use your brain.
Back to the grind.

Well now moving right along and back to the OP subject, I cleaned up my 61/272, blew out the K&N air filter, and replace the fuel line. Darn thing rotted out in 9 months. Put some fuel in it and it ran great. Then I threw the $19.00 dollar Partner p85 on the bench. I was told it had a bad piston. It was only blowing 95 psi on the gauge, but the piston and rings looked fine and it ran great. I've got a new piston and rings for it and I'll do my mild port job on it. Tore it down and the internals are all fine. I plugged off the governor in the carburetor. This saw has cool factory lower transfer ports. They are huge flattened funnels and taper smoothly to the upper outlets.
 
Lol I tried getting back on topic a few pages ago, but the bovines and polar bears have done an excellent job of derailing since then... :msp_sneaky:


:laugh:
 
Must have bigger bench!!!


Holy hell! I have 8 saws on the bench now, with 6 more in the wings. Too many projects going at once. Anybody else have that problem?:help:

Yup. I got at least 6 scattered around. Waiting for parts. Or ambition. Or stuff
 
Hey, i got stuff! Nothing canukistianian and stuff, but i got stuff.:msp_ohmy:

Wouldn't fit. Gotta be caucistan metrics.

Stumpy told me about your stuff. What happens in the Stumpshack stays in the Stumpshack. And stuff.
 
Stuff happens...

I'm in the same boat. The bench is only big enough for one or two projects at a time though. The rest of the projects (waiting for parts, time, and stuff) are on shelves or in boxes...:dizzy:



This is what's on my bench now. Just arrived from the Great White North this afternoon. 288XP with a messed up drive-side crankcase. Got a good set of cases to swap everything onto. New crank seals and gaskets will go in while it's all apart. Needs a few small things (op-pres lever and spring, replacement K&N filter), but everthing 'major' is there and in good order. Fired it up tonight (couldn't help myself).

I've got a straight gassed 61 on the bench, just waiting for 272 P&C and other stuff. Should be fun. My first Husky, so far I like.

My 272XP is the first Husky that I've had that stayed with me (instead of being 'fixed and flipped'). You'll love that saw when you get it together. They're easy to work on and great runners.:cool2:

OMG OMG OMG.

You mean you're gonna keep a saw that wasn't built when LBJ was in office??? :)
