SHOULD I REUSE THIS CHAINSAW PISTON?

[@MegaDirtyberty]

I have cleaned up and reused worse pistons, even reused piston rings. I cleaned and reused a piston in my fs85 and it's still going years later. I have a 44.7mm piston I am going to reuse in my 026 (fitted with Caber rings). The bore clearances were the same as the brand new piston.

The best thing I have used so far for mosquitoes is cedar oil. I like the brand "Nantucket Spider". Keep swattin'!

[@kelvinpen3144]

If no damage to either cylinder or Piston then I would use it but I’m on tight budget and reuse a lot of things I work on 😎👍

[@steveriggenbach90]

Fantastic job of explaining about positions. Thanks for your time also. Take care.

[@lanceevans688]

Glad to see you back on the channel! Still monsoon season here in Minnesota as well. Trying to close on a house and the new septic is holding things up. I'm going to have my own shop. I'm super excited. Rain, rain, go away!

[@BuckenStanleyRay]

The spring adjusts the tension automatically. If it's rubbing it's because the spring is barely stretched. Looks like belt is probably at least 2 sizes to long as the spring coils are about to touch. Been doing belts on all my own tractors lately.

[@Fogyt121]

A UV lamp with built in bugzapper might solve the problem, if you leave it overnight in the shop. I've seen one in action, it was having a field day.

[@Husky455fan]

Thank you for sharing your thought process on looking at the used piston and jug.

[@larrywarner9314]

Good day tinman, that bracket that the spring is hooked to I'd bend it so the spring lays away from the belt

[@christalbott8446]

Hope you catch up on home life!! Know the feeling to well! Another great video!

[@tdawg8605]

Working on a walk behind mower at the moment as well and dodging the mosquitoes... they are to big to swat so you just walk around them....😂 was running a dodo coil the other day in the garage, it was the only way to have the garage door open. Can't go wrong with some Texas BBQ and sea food...mmmm. TC Mahalo Tinman 🤙🤙🤙

[@robertsimard735]

Great tutorial. I have a few old pioneers p20 and a possible p41 that I may change the piston.

[@stevetheriault4164]

EVERYTHINGS BIG IN TEXAS ,,GLAD YOU HAD A GOODTIME BUDDY,, 😁👍👍

[@tomintexas817]

Glad you made it home Houston Rough😮

[@daveanderson2468]

Starting fluid and a lighter for the mosquitoes

[@Righound4]

I would use that piston in the used cylinder for sure!

[@Magoot2456]

Good to have you back Tinman! I'm excited to see you port that 026, there are barely any videos on people porting them! I can't wait to see what a little monster you can build with one :) I've got an 026, and a partly built 026, both that I want to port, so this series has my full and undivided attention!!!!

[@Ecthelion_2nd]

Good afternoon, Another good video as usual. I have tried widening the lower transfers on a MS260 to good results.

[@alltherpm]

I'm going through a homelite addiction, I've been adding ol blue xl12, and a 150 automatic, saws that my father used

[@aaronpowell4885]

Glad you had a great trip and thanks for sharing the inspection tips!

[@scottwilson4396]

I like my rakers extra low for the sask gators Tinman 😂

[@CraigArndt]

Look at the size of those skeeters! Good lord. Like the ones I'd see up in Georgian Bay on fishing trips, carry you off. lol.

[@billhacks]

. Thats going to be an awesome saw when it's finished.

[@Arvanitisadreas]

Good evening from Greece, my brother, I am watching your channel, please put Greek subtitles.

[@davidbulich1254]

Yes would absolutely use it I've used worse and worked perfectly

[@edwinhsingmaster9135]

Tinman and pistons, begs the question. Coating piston skirts.. I follow Wade,Ironhorse, Dyno, Buckin, Guilty, Donny, and never heard anyone mention it. What you say? Cheers from Oregon,USA. Hank

[@MotoLife541]

Both my 024 and 026 have metal handles with flathead fasteners.

[@jonathanhall136]

Thanks buddy.

[@eurokid83]

From what I’ve seen early 026’s had the metal handle. Think it was only a few years after the 024 was replaced by the 026.

[@timwatson4524]

I would go new the piston is cheep and good insurance

[@tinmanssaws]

Yep I agree

[@clarencetrice4442]

HI TINMAN 😊😊 U have 2 get U a bug zapper 4 the bugs that we fix alot of them at night 🌃 😊 and when the yard holds water 💦 😮 that doesn't help none either the next 2 do is 2 get some good bug spray / the BBQ and Cole slaw is some kind of good that's the good eating 😊😅🎉😂❤😊 OMG 6 24 2O24

[@5roundsrapid263]

Put some 16:1 mix in an old saw with bad rings. Run that for a few minutes, no more mosquitoes! 😂

[@ErwinRainerLöser]

What about the wear of the ring groove? Would be interesting to hear something about it from you. - Greetings from Germany

[@larrywarner9314]

Now I'd keep that old piston cus you never know when you or someone else could use it in a pinch

[@martyrutter3630]

I bet your little girl missed her daddy something terrible. Glad you’re home safe and back in the groove. 👍👍

[@tinmanssaws]

I missed her more I think

[@timothybyrom5560]

I wouldn't. I love an 026,but they wear on the thrust side of the piston something awful. I'd use a new piston.

[@kurtsteele5587]

How's the Tinman and family

[@ryanfriars545]

Buy a can of knock down (I believe that’s what it was called) Restaurants use it, although I wouldn’t advise breathing it in. Couple sprays around your shop/house/tent and the bugs will either lose interest or drop to the floor in 10-20 min. It works great. I always have a can of it for camping.

[@justinweaver8107]

❤❤

[@davidcarberry3547]

i hate mcskeeters , id heat it and bend it down, then no worries, nice piston all the mill marks are there, anyone lets there saw get that dirty dont blame the saw when it gives up

[@clarencetrice4442]

HI TINMAN 😊😊 some U can go 2 a place that works on small engines or some times a parts store and have a set of piston rings matched up IVE seen be 4 U have 2 use 2 rings 4 each piston groove if there's rings that aren't the width I seen that be 4 in a old engine a another fellow didn't know where 2 get the piston rings from and U can have custom piston rings made they make them 😊😊 OMG 6 24 2O24

[@robert4027]

Tinman I want to ask how is the anti vibe on husky a 266 se. ? I might buy one but just not sure if it's ok for all day use

[@tinmanssaws]

Its ok but nowhere near as good as the 372 saws.

[@robert4027]

@@tinmanssaws awesome thanks very much sadly can't find any the 372 on Craigslist 100 miles radius ☹️

[@justinweaver8107]

Id run that piston an cyl 4sure if its oem. Neither look bad 2 me
