Chainsaw Repair

31 minutes .......................
i will be watching this tomorrow morning around 05:00 ....... during my first break !!

I watched part of the video.   Pretty good idea.   I might try it some time.

 Do you mod the combustion chamber for the pop up.

Great video ............. shouldnt be so hard on yourself !
Have to get it done, and you sure did !
More videos please !!!

Nice vid, one other way to skin the proverbial cat .
 When I get a chance I'll start another thread showing how I do it .

Turing those pistons with open sides and asymmetric skirts is a trend here now! I think one of the next vid's will about squish bands and a fixture I built to handle cylinders that aren't as easy to hold as those nice essentially square Husqvarna 300 series cylinders. For example 562's..and even more relevant Stihl MS660's...

(Think derivative of a bearing puller.. and its pretty universal but still requires an arbor for setup and allignment .. needs testing time before video time though)

Fortunately none of this requires heavy cuts therefore heavy loading on the tooling or fixturing. The bases with their interrupted cut is about the worst case we have to deal with....and why leaving that arbor in is a good Idea when cutting those bases. Although I'm a fan of things like arbor / cutter derivatives of gang tooling and fly cutters, looking to finish developing tools that can handle a wide array of cylinders so I don't have a cabinet devoted to a gazillion different sizes and cylinders. One boring bar. One fixture. A series of arbors of different diameter's. Two chucks. A tail stock drill chuck. A tailstock live chuck.  Many cylinders now possible to tweak. That's where I am and hope to prove as a functional idea...over time. Trying to develop a system to support the hobby for the price of a big chainsaw...under 1000 to replicate is the goal.
