Practically Brand New

A few weeks ago, I finished the engine rebuild of my bro-in-laws chainsaw.  I have been waiting for a few parts from around the globe;
1.  Chain guides from Hong Kong
2.  New air filter from Oklahoma
3.  New chain from Florida
4.  New bar from Missouri
5.  New fuel line and impulse line from Shenzhen
6.  Rim sprocket from Michigan

The last of the parts finally arrived, and everything is assembled to its final design.

I've run it a handful of times with the old bar and chain to break it in.  I have yet to run it long and hard.  My break in sessions have only been 5 minutes or so.

As you can see, everything cleaned up real nice, and everything is just like new.  It's all so clean I nearly hate running it.

The new bar is an upgrade.  I couldn't file the warp out of the old bar, so a new one had to be had.  I upgraded from the standard 18 inch to the 24 inch.  With the upgrade in horsepower, the book tells me this could be done.

A new chain was purchased too.  This is the square full chisel chain.  The old chain on the 18 inch bar needed quite a bit of help and filing, and was the anti-kickback version.  This full chisel is more aggressive.

I sat my regular chainsaw next to the new beast.  The biggest and most noticeable difference might be the cleanliness.  Second would be bar length.

Fun days ahead. 

Next up - carburetor tuning to compensate for the larger piston bore.
