How much? My neighbor paid $100 for ms 250 caulking

I'm a little late reporting back to the President, but the Bing 48 carburetor was in good shape (including the gaskets & diaphragms) other that a little dust accumulated in the vent side of the fuel pump.





Thanks,

And what model is at the bottom?

1983 - 266se
Always keeping my eye out for the metal chain brakes.

Whats on your bench?
Too much!

But wont show the stack waiting to make the bench.......

Had the 1985 266se up on the operating table for the past few days, did a nice little bit of work to get her where she is now.
she had 4 broken av mounts, was very poor running. Needle and lever were worn pretty bad and there was rtv gasket maker in the carb.
The cylinder has a chip in the plating, but it just so happened that when I took the base gasket out it never went past the ring anymore,so I said screw it and threw it together after a quick hone and clean up , lots of compression now anyway
Made a new end to the kill switch wire from the 3” that was luckily left attached to the coil, and installed the once missing kill switch with one I had lying around.
Threw in a fresh new carb kit, stole some mounts from my 272 cause I ordered a couple new sets for that one and spares. But when I got it all together it developed a pretty bad air leak, so now I’m faced with fixing an intake block bolt hole so that’s the next bench task to tackle I guess

Right now I have a bunch of saws waiting to go on the bench, don't know what to go first. Of course my saws go last. I suppose the first is an 029 Stihl which my neighbor can't get running right, hoping it's just a carb problem so I don't have to take it all apart.

 

[Bob Hedgecutter]

Top two shelves are next to hit the bench- little consumer love to hate on the top- 2nd shelf 028, 038, 380CD and 660EVL.
Next shelf down is awaiting parts- apart from the 2094.
Rest is just storage- they are all good to go.

 

[heimannm]

Started with this...



The 038 and 362 are done, from the 6 192/3/4 saws I was able to get this.



Hopefully #4 will be a runner today, that just leaves the two 261's for next week.

Thank you, I appreciate it. I have a OEM handle on the way to me for just over $40.00. Not too bad.
I’ll be watching for that thread.

Did you get your wrap after?

 

[pastryguyhawaii]

Did you get your wrap after?

Just got done trying it out.

 

[user 188535]

My 015 needs more work than I thought.

They’re deadly aren’t they?! Nice in the hands! How did you mount yours on the bottom?
Did you use need to use a riser to keep it away from the bottom of the case like I did? Curious cause it doesn’t seem like I’d need to use the spacer on my 272 conversion if I were to put it on that saw

I cut mine on the red line so the red circled piece was the piece that was removed, then the yellow dot is where I drilled the new mounting hole, and I drilled a new hole next to the one already drilled in the clutch side of the wrap in the yellow square for mounting
The videos I saw they cut the opposite side where I have the blue line and drilled a new hole where the blue dot is, I didn’t really like that idea so I improvised

Yes, I did the same as you. It just seemed the way to do it. I did put two layers of copper to raise it off the case. Just what I have on hand. I may revisit it later.

Do you need an intake block?

I hardly ever get a top handle saw to work on, maybe the guys don't use them around here..
