Hey buddy im working on the same project, you gave me the inspiration. Did you happen to use a 046 big bore 54mm piston?
I clearanced the flywheel and cut the cylinder skirt to fit in the case. Now, I'm just waiting on a piston. Hoping thats what you used because thats what i ordered😂

Its from a 066

[@griffinphilemon5083]

@@NewEnglandChainsawWorks thanks for getting back to me. Do you remember how much had to come off the base?

[@NewEnglandChainsawWorks]

About .100" from the base and .200" from the case. Be careful about going into the oil tank

This had my interest and forgot about it. How’s it holding up?

[@NewEnglandChainsawWorks]

Pretty good I still use it now and then

[@chadmeador1557]

Must have took quite a bit of machine work to fit the 288 jug on it?

[@christhomas9587]

why did you use the 61 carburetor instead of the 288 carb?

[@NewEnglandChainsawWorks]

Some carburetors perform better than others. Even the same model carb. The 61 carb used made great power with good throttle response. Also I didn't have a 288 carb at the time 😅

Let’s see under the covers.
