It's not every day you get a Wildthing delivered.
It sux that you won't have it done in time for me to take you to the woodshed at Nik's Saturday.
I got my rim sprocket and put it on tonight!

I'll bring my 350 along too!
It's not skeert of running second to a pro builders saw.
I REALLY like that saw.........................................especially for the price!
Sounds like you're admitting defeat before we even get to the races, lol:greenchainsaw:

You know, I kinda thought that too at first.
Don't get me wrong, I have been a supporter of the "Wildthings" and their clones all along for a homeowners saw.
They are the best "bang for the buck" in that throwaway class IMHO.
I mildly ported one almost two years ago and was surprised by how well it ran.
But after working on these, I'm impressed at how well the engines are designed. (I guess that's why Stihl copied them)
It's a shame that Poulan doesn't build a better quality body for them.
In retrospect, I guess they do, it's just orange and has Husqvarna written on the side.

I wouldn't consider it defeat at all to run second to you!
Truth is,
If I can get my danged old junks started and keep 'em together long enough to finish the cut, I'm happy!!!
Poor people got poor ways.

Riiiiight, LOL. You must have had your hands on a different wildthang than me. Not bad for a throwaway saw, but that is what they are, no more and no less.

Not tonight, too dark and dangerous.
You can bet it will have been tested by this time tomorrow though!
Mike
Don't even try to pull that "junk" trick on me, lol. I know how your saws run:greenchainsaw:

Anyone have a clutch cover for a 4018? How about a bar?
You guys are having way too much fun with this.....I love it! Makes me wish these GTG's happened closer to me.
If you can race a bar stool, you can sure as heck race a "Wild Thang"!!!

The 4018 has the inboard clutch, right? If so I have a maroon cover and a 16 or 18 bar.

All I can say............................Well, all I gonna say is
WOW!!!

You guys got your wish. I've definately been handicapped here. The P&C are significantly scored. What's amazing is that it started right up and ran and pulled 160 PSI compression. Don't ask me how.
As you know, these aren't chrome lined jugs, and shouldn't be honed. I had no choice, and nothing to loose. I sanded the piston and ring as well. I'm going to make this thing run! I'm just not going to guarantee how well or how long, lol. Yes, I'm even going to port this piece of trash
These pics are from AFTER the cleanup

I've got an engine you can have.
I will bring it to Nik's tomorrow.
You will need to pull your bearings and put them in this engine.
I don't want you to have ANY excuse when I spank your azz!!!LOL
