[Modifiedmark]

Don't have any scrap magnesium laying around....

No problem I have a half of a small barrel full of old mag parts.

Now whatcha going to do?

Does anyone know what it would take to convert one of these things to 3/8" I"ve never handled one so I have no idea of how it is setup?

just get the rim drive set up for a 36-142 husky from baileys.It will come with a .325 rim so you will need a small.375 rim unless the order gives you an option for either.

They are already 3/8ths!
All you need is a $13.00 Carlton bar from Bailey's in .375 instead of .365.
JW. is correct if you want to have the option of 7 tooth drive instead of 6.

Mike, do you have any experience with replacing the oil pump drive on these saws?
I loaned mine too a friend and it came bak with a stripped oil pump gear and did the same thing when I put a pump on it.
It looks like the drive is squished together more than one i'm looking at on anouther crank but since that was the last good pump i had i'm gonna have to buy a pump anyway so i may as well get the drive at the same time.
Just wondering if there is any trick or tool needed too install it.

Really? Good to know, thanks Mopar Now all I have to do is keep looking for one

Yes there is a tool to remove and replace. My dealer is supposed to be ordering me two of them as we speak, I'll have to let you know what the part #'s are.

There are two different ones for the little saws, one for the wild thing, 2150 etc and one for the 2500-2900 PP295 type.

I know he said they were only a few bucks apiece.

Yes I do and it is a fun thing!!!LOL
What I did was press the little spring gear on and then take a scrench and space the coils comparing it to one still on a crank.
There is a tool as Mark said that makes it a snap but........................poor people got poor ways!
The coils actually move easily if you have the torque advantage of the scrench.

yeah, looking at the 2900 it has sharper drive edges where the smaller saw looks more like a round wire helicoil.
The squished up one on the wildthing seamed too pull off pretty easy but wasnt sure about installing a new one.
lemme know the tool # when you can and thanks.

Yep getting them off the wild thing is no problem its the getting it all spaced back out right when putting them back on that is the problem.

I have only done one of them myself.

I found the #'s and here they are.

For the Wildthing type saws and all the others in that familey like the 2150 etc, the part # is 530031166 and it is under $2.

The other for the 2500/PP295 saws is 530031136 but is quite a bit more at $40

I was invited yesterday to flush cut the stumps the 5 Wildthings couldn't touch. All Ash trees and they cut 3-4 feet up where all the leaders came out and they left the stumps. My Echo 1001 put on a pretty good show. One guy said he needed an agressive chain like i was using and i said 60cc would prob help more. But it was all for fun...Bob

I just tore a 2375 apart tonight. Here are the port timings.

Exhaust - 104°
Transfers - 126°
Intake - 76°

Those are actually pretty good numbers, but the intake is tiny narrow!

 

[blsnelling]

It's obvious why the 2375 is stronger. It's way better for porting. There are too many limitations with the 4018 strato cylinder. I should have mine back together tonight. I'm anxious to see how it runs.

Bummer, I just realize my B&C are at Niks. I haven't met up with him yet to get my stuff back since the GTG.

I need a rim drum so that I can run .325. Where'd you get yours, or what's the PN?

It's not quite that simple I'll send you a P.M.
I got mine from Melvin.

Don't you have a 3/8ths 16" Husky bar???
