Chainsaw Repair

Moving on.....







Damn that old tattoo gets uglier every year.

Now we begin to port it.

Another view of the jug mounted.



Here I'm setup with a long reach indicator to check runout.





I made a couple of videos with more detail on the centering process.........if I post them y'all won't make fun of the way I talk will you?

Getting ready to check squish. I've got a few rolls of .030" soft solder that I picked up on ebay awhile back, that's why I twist this stuff up like this. That and it's real handy to be able to make it any size I need. I should point out here that if your solder is too large it will give you a false reading.....



This bolt holds that flange/stuffer hicky, and it is higher than the case where the jug bolts down. If you try to delete the base gasket on the 461, you must grind the head of these two bolts down about .020".



We now have .065" squish clearance. We'll want to take .040" off the base to end up at .025.
