What's on your bench

[Chevboy0167]

Did some on/off the bench earlier today. Replacing 3 of these old fused boxes with breaker style upgrades. Had to install longer ground bars in each box and large power distribution blocks to run additional outlets. So... they started on the bench anyways! lol

I ordered a used engine that is slightly more expensive than the new wheel

Walbro/Mac carburetors and their primers.



I added some details on the primer repair in the McCulloch Carburetors thread, there is a link in my signature.

Some had ethanol jell in the tanks from older mix. Some had water in the tanks from ethanol mix drawing in moisture. One broken pawls, 1 broken trigger mount in handle. 1 throttle linkage off carb. 1 plug and so on.

Easy

I'm working on an Echo PAS 2620. It belongs to a Landscaper friend of mine.
One of his workers has destroyed the hedge trimmer attachment pipe. I guess it was because of lack of proper maintenance. No lube.
Anyway, I am trying to find a repair manual for the PAS 2620 power head.
I have parts ordered (OEM) for the attachment but there is some damage to the power head pipe end. Maybe missing some parts. Not sure. A diagram of the unit with how the parts lay out would probably tell me what's missing if anything. 040.JPG attachment pipe. It is destroyed. 042 is the hedge trimmer and it is fine. I failed to take a pic of the power head pipe end with possible damage or possibly missing parts. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, OT

Started on the bench as preparation is key in smooth transition.... And finally did the "hot swap" with 200 amps ready to kill me! Never mind the shaking hands or that wasp that just landed on your arm ready to put you into anaphylactic shock!!! So what's on your post???

 

[Chevboy0167]

2 more. Have some wiring to finish up tomorrow then install outlet panels.

And mistress 350 is wanting no part of it...... No amount of base gaskets gonna fill this gap with the OEM bolts. Piston is not hitting the top of the cylinder yet but man it looks NFGAA. Thinking this side chick gonna get a 346 cylinder. I already have the Meteor piston kit.

This Titanickel jug has way too much machined off of the base. Not gonna chance it. Just a shame I gotta toss it....

It's the volts that present a problem, you only get Amps with enough voltage to punch through the resistance.
I'm not familiar with that kind of setup, but if you have to "hot swap" something like that something isn't right at the supply end of those cables.
Also curious how the earth gets from the buss bar to the outlet & why you have the feed to the breaker connected to the top of it in one box & the bottom in the other.
Down here we'd never get away with unprotected cables in the ground like that

I'm all for the 346 upgrade, but you could make yourself a gasket out of sheet copper if you wanted to use that cylinder

I don't know who your trying to kill but you definitely need to call an licensed electrician. Should someone die from that mess, you'll lose everything you own. JMHO OT

It's a cluster F for sure. OT

the quality of connections and cables can be more harmful than a mess

Doing some cylinder work on a Stihl 440 cylinder for someone. I started kinda late on it, so I only got to turning the combustion chamber on it. Next will be cutting the base and the some port work.

I don't know how soon I'll get back to it, I'm going in tomorrow for a shot to my wrist...might take me out of commission for a coupla days. I just finished up a big climbing job, trying to "clean the slate" before I did the injection.

Ugly squish band for an OEM Stihl cylinder...normally Stihl has the best looking cylinders IMO:



Squish band done:

Early 046 arctic from a FB aution.
Bearings seals slug etc. Its ugly.
B4 and after
Not sure what bar oil was used and how long the saw sat but cleaning was brutal.
