What's on your bench

[Evan]

Just got my 046 top end locked down on my 44 did basic porting no gasket she wouldnt turn with gasket 15 18 ish. Alittle tight but im rolling with it.

Need oil line so I can finish putting clutch side together

The couche I ride alot most every weekend and lucky to have pretty sweet trails close I can ride after work in the summer.

150hrs since this time last year when
she was new.

Unless you mean couche couche then never

Id be temped to get a 12mm crank and do a 46 top end on it.

If it were mine id use a brake hone wrapped with green Scotch Brite run it in the cylinder for awhile to make sure its good n cleaned out.
Then just toss a Meteor piston in it.

My 44 is currently in Phase 3

Phase one was stock logger saw, Phase 2 44/064 screw up and now 44/46 hopefully not a flop.

Its a mix of oem with not oem parts.

So, I took my 044 over to Wood's Logging Supply as the same guy that's been a mech/tech there for eons was willing to check my junk out. Anyhoo... He made me a deal I couldn't refuse and it's there getting the cylinder "cleaned up a little" and a new Stihl piston and rings put in it. Mainly because... come to find out, what happened was one of the crank bearing cages fragged a tiny piece off and that's what was jingling around in my top end. So the case had to be split to put new bearings in it... so I let him do it.

On the Off topic, what year is your Beta? I had a 2018 Xtrainer. Just too much bike for me being over 65 now. So I got a 2020 Beta Evo 250 trials bike. Put the seat kit on it, which comes with an integrated spare fuel cell. Now I do what I call DuroTrial riding. Slow, technical, tight one-track stuff. Balance, throttle, brake, clutch skills staying as sharp as possible. And when I fall, the ground is closer.

It's a 2020 300 race edition, this one is actually the third Beta I've owned. I had a '15 300re that I've since sold, and I still own my plated 2018 350.

Technical riding is my favorite kind of riding and what I'm best at really. There is too much good riding locally to not be into the technical aspect of it.

I rode trials for a few years, it's a great skill builder...I started it as a training tool for my racing, but I then fell in love with it. I still have my '14 GasGas 280, but most of my trials riding now is limited to riding around the course I have set up on my property.

Mac S550 on the bench, working on fuel lines, installing a chip ignition, changed sprocket to 3/8”, I can use large mount Husky bars on it with a little adjustment. Saw does run excellent even with the rebuilt flat back carburetor on it

I turned some new wheel spacers for the Beta. The stock ones don't do a good job of protecting the seal, which in turn wears the spacers out, which in turn lets crapola into the bearings. This might be just a waste of 1/2 a day, but hopefully my design addresses this issue. If I like them, I might do the same with some stainless.

 

[Evan]

Man those look awesome the spacers

Thanks, it's actually a pretty straightforward project on a lathe. It's just kinda tedious, as there are a few different diameters to turn...I must have measured everything 100 times.

I am guessing I'm missing something here?



My intent was to just clean it up and put in on display in the museum, but with the great mechanical condition of everything (except the swiss cheese bottom of the muffler) I could not resist making it run. Starts, runs, idles, oils...I didn't want to get it too dirty cutting on my test log but I am sure it is up to the task.

I have the same saw hanging up. Mine is a one owner saw B4 me. If you going to put it in the museum i have the manual for it.

 

[Piotr Pakuła]

I started to complete my 08 I have a starter and I miss all the other parts

 

[RedneckChainsawRepair]

Few from friends came in.

I pretty much dont take work anymore unless I know them first hand.

 

[Piotr Pakuła]

And in fact, it's a weed eater cleaner, someone replaced the fuel line and put it backwards and later I can only guess what curses were falling ;-) Partner B400

Want to see a funny one. Man the crap you can see come in.

Look close to which one the fuel filter is one.

 

[Piotr Pakuła]

I will try to start the weed eaters before I change these wires / and your saw will run until the strainer in the carburetor is clogged

Hmm. Looks like the EPA tank vent filter kit. Only offered in 87 on the 3.7 craftsman’s.

 

[joe25DA]

621 jred. I had it for sale untouched, dirty untested, tank full of spoiled fuel. All I knew was good spark and compression. I decided the saw deserves some attention. Took it apart, cleaned and checked out, new fuel lines and filter. Carb kit came today so it should be done tomorrow.

 

[JoeMay]

Thanks for the photo. It will get me off the fence about tending to at a 49SP that’s been sitting on the shelf for at least a year.

 

[leecopland]

I loved my 49 so. Sadly left it when moved to the UK.
