No such thing! With CAD they’re all “precious!

See, hoarders. Lol

eBay has a nice complete with Oiler and crank, but I’d rather not spend $120 on it then have extra unneeded parts

The half you're needing is the flywheel side, correct? If so, I found a pretty good one.

I have one if JJ doesn’t work out

I got my cylinder back from my machinest. Base and band are cut. I’m just waiting on a case half and I can put her together

 

[cus_deluxe]

Looks nice, almost there

 

[David Young]

Did you take 50 out of the band?

Rattler hooked me up with some numbers. I’ll keep them between us unless he wants to chime in.

Be careful that cylinder extensions needed trimed also.

Got her timed and pressure/vac tested. New bearings and seals too. Need to grind on the cylinder still and replace a few other odds and ends. Then get her back together.

She lives again. Test cuts tomorrow.

Grind out that hole smooth and put a nice rubber grommet in there. This one is super glued in place.

I forgot to check the fuel level before I left this morning. Would have liked to got a few more cuts in. Sure scared me when it died

I hit the numbers you guys recommended and did a few other things. Comp ended up at 195. Probably will go up after more run time. Thanks for the help. Rattler thanks again for the build advice. Very happy with the saw.

Just an fyi but a single flute step drill will make a perfect smooth round hole in plastic. Double flute will not work near as well.

I didn’t even cut the hole in this saw. Came that way. No way in hell I would do such an ugly job. Good tip though
