Well, I call it an 066 because of the screw caps. [emoji848]
Building it for a client. Tried to talk him into buying/renting/hiring a band mill without success. [emoji57]
Built straight out of the box (it’s my third one) except for the almost obligatory OEM decomp.
Only real assembly problem was the off center spark plug access hole on the top cover. What’s up with that? !! Sanding drum in drill motor solved it.
Minor grinding on clutch drum notch and worm gear drive arm make them compatible.
Chain brake spring didn’t seem right but works. Brake band needed tweaking with a pry bar/screwdriver.
Base gasket delete garners .035” piston crown clearance. (We don’t have a lathe.)
Supplied woodruff key fit the flywheel but was too thick for the crankshaft keyway. A touch thinner one from the stash works and ( in theory) gains a few degrees of spark advance.
Bar adjuster is crunchy but serviceable. How often does one use it, really.
Typical stubborn control lever (choke, run, stop) from China. Lots of Lubriplate helps.
More observations as debugging continues.
