Wow I bet that one has some stories.

I agree. The lines and stance do it for me I think. The one I saw wasn't as well kept but still a stunner in my book. I'm just old enough to have not seen these regularly on the road. I did witness the last of the Scouts rust away but never really saw any of their pickups as a youngster...

You'll need a 100%/continuous duty-cycle pump. Will still generate heat while unloaded, just not as much. Can you do an external tank?

I was on my way to an amusement park about 20 years ago. Along the way there is a little traditional rest stop on the two lane highway that I had stopped to use. As I was leaving one of these with an older gentleman and his wife in it pulled up. It wasn't in show condition but still great...

Still using the Echo version I bought 25 years ago. It's no race winner but does what it's supposed to and rarely asks for anything.

Oh goodness. I remember Rep Clout from other forums.

Dunno if possible but a good whack to the shaft could break it loose. Of course you'll need to protect the shaft while doing so or use a punch. I usually tension a pulley a bit with a scregie before the violence commences. Short of this shock therapy, I have no valid methods to offer that...

I like the terrycloth units. Cheap enough to have several.

Weedeating with some Ktec that I got cheap. All is good.

The red coil still exists? Nearing time to place another spares order. Got a pump drive and clutch on there wanted a coil. March parts price list still shows coil for 6401 as available? Should I get it instead of the one listed for 7900? Any benefit for a non-ported unit?

Further teardown revealed a broken case at the flywheel side where flag attaches. No go. It was either dropped from a bucket, or run over.

Gents, I have 'opportunity' to take possesion of a somewhat whooped on 543xp. It's rough and not making much air. Ex side of piston looks fine but I'm only seeing ~50lbs on the guage. It's got a broken flag, bent handle and the on off switch is wonky. Does make spark. No joy with some gas...

038-171-013 is the Makita part #. Less than $10 shipped new.

'said battery strimmers should not be used when the grass is damp or wet conditions.'

I like my Echo. I don't cut cookies. Possibly related?

Trigger handle assembly for a Husky trimmer. A2 filter upgrade for Echo.

I've taken to ordering older main jets for my Honda carbs. Seem to run more smoothly. Main jet dimensions have not changed for decades, only the size of the holes. Yes I have used a tip cleaner to slightly enlarge not the main jet, but the orifices on the body of the main jet.

Yep. Said with a 'y' around here.
