Probably the most sensible way Bill. Dont know how much time I waste after buying a saw, taking screen shots from OPE on how to port it🫢

Would you know it, its working again.🫢 Had been showing "this site cannot screen shot " last few days. Thanks

I might have a setting wrong but seems you can't screenshot OPE pages on your phone now? I understand OPE probably want to send users back through the Web but its a pain... I screenshot info and find it's easy to go back though photos compared to link. Can it fixed? Ive been a bit on this...

PM700 picked up for US$60, Apparently has sat for 15 years, but put new plug in and ran on 3rd pull. Bit of oxidation under paint but seems like hasn't been run much. I read somewhere the later Macs had chrome flaking issues, was this vintage being Black and Decker ok?

12 months ago did full rebuild on SP80. It didn't run properly so thought must have not sealed the clamshell when assembled so put on too hard shelf till now. Went through the carb and intake again and noticed small tear on gasket under carb so made new gasket and problem solved. Runs perfect...

Day out on the ocean this week. Snapper. I baited hooks and the kids wound them in.

357 mods with some 2mm sheet

Hello All. Thanks for the answers. You wont believe it, I got the carb off the bench this morning and was going over the answers thinking what a great group of guys on this site. Then I dropped the carb on concrete and it landed on one of the jets. I tried to wind it out and it broke off flush...

Also intake height is 78.5 degrees

Hello Guys. Here's one that has me stumped... Have fully rebuilt and ported a 357 that came to me with a stuck rung so never had it running prior rebuild. It has the HDA198 carb so no excellerator pump. It will run, but runs so rich on low jet such that its sprays fuel back out through carb and...

Just to wake this thread up... New to me 88, needed new ring otherwise pretty good nick.
