I have these two I will let go of, prices are before shipping. Left is NOS wide tab, dirty on the inside so it must have been sitting that side up on the shelf, $55. Right is NOS small tab, a few scratches from shelf rash $45. Neither have any scratching at the tab bosses, so they look like...

On a 50cc saw you can run the squish as tight as 0.016" and be ok. Usually everyone sticks with 0.020" which is safe for even large saws until you start spinning stupid high rpm. Cutting the base and effectively dropping all the ports will decrease exhaust and transfer duration, and increase...

Not sure of the RA of the finish as I don't have a meter. I leave the finish as is after a light finish pass, I would only polish it if I needed to slightly adjust the slip fit. Your mandrel should not slip when cutting the base but the aluminum poses no threat to the plating if it does, you'll...

Some keep getting into the cedar trim around my porch beam.

The ICS 623/633 is built off of the Efco 199 or Oleo Mac/Olympyk 999. Big, heavy old beasts! I had the UFO topped one converted into a chainsaw 10 yrs ago. Have you tired using a Husky cap, you'd be surprised how many saw they are compatible with.

I can probably fix that motor.

My right angle handpiece will work with the Dremel Fortiflex motor as it's a key drive cable just like the Foredom and all the imports like the ones from Harbor Freight or Vevor. I'd recommend the Vevor SR for a cheap import motor as HF discontinued their hanging flex shaft motor.

Just up the road is Markham Vineyards, one of my favorite main stream wineries in Napa. Also, Castello di Amorosa is just a neat place to see.

Thanks, I use 3/8" diamond ball in a #28 handpiece. https://www.mcmaster.com/4490A49/

Yeah, I can sell one. I'll have to check if they are the thin top cover clips or the later wider clips that came out with the HD filter system. If they are the thin ones, then you need a thin style cylinder cover.

I took 0.030" from the squish band when I did this 800P, then I had to raise the transfers 0.125" to get the transfer duration I wanted. The numbers I landed on in duration are 158 ex, 119 tr, 156 in and I thinned the throttle shafts shafts and opened up the venturi some on the carb.

I have some NOS low top air filter covers.

394 has a cylinder extension that goes into the case so sanding on a pane of glass wont be easy. Those numbers are good for a tamer ported saw. I'd bump up the ex to 100.

I just tig weld in an extension into the OEM rod.

Looks like they used aluminum filler instead of magnesium.
