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.
