That's my take on it too.

Might be that I had to trim a few spots, it's been going on 3 years and saw mods are very low on the list of things I remember. I seem to vaguely remember trimming a top cover a bit with a pocket knife or drywall knife, it might've been on the 500i.

I don't know what hacking you're talking about, but a year or so ago I bought a Maxflow kit for my 500i and it fit excellent. No mods required. I've gotta make sure the little ears line up right, that's it.

Grinder wheel took off most the stamps, unfortunately. Where about are the stamps? Their location will give a clue as to the manufacturer.

GFY, you can't tell me what to do!

Badass, I gotta confirm a few minor things Wednesday but I'm gonna say it's a go on my end.

You name it, if it'll fit in a 4-door Bronco it'll get down there. Solo dia senor? Taking off a Friday and Saturday should be no problemo.

Is that dull patch below the port missing the plating?

Yep, and yep. Bill was trying to get me in there a few years back but the opportunity just doesn't work for me at this point.

I know of a well-established saw shop in the region run by a handful of retirement age guys who would probably be happy to see it change hands. Only downside is you gotta move to CA and run a small business in CA.

Yep, that be the one.

C'mon, be the first guy in Little Mexico with a Scottish ported 564!

This story wasn't verified by me, so take it with a grain of salt. A friend's cousin? I think, was roofing a shed/shop with tin and was bringing a sheet up to install it when he lost his fitting and slid off the roof. The landing was rough enough, but supposedly the sheet he was carrying slid...

I had a Duke's one on a 461 that gave me similar symptoms to an air leak. Looking for leaks pissed me off so much I sold it. Next guy that got the saw put an oem unit on and smooth sailing. Brother's 372 with a dying blue coil would start and run fine 1 time, next it would smoke, sputter, cough...

I'm interested, any thoughts on a particular month/week/timeframe? Weekday(s)? Weekend? Long weekend? I'm a slave to a number of other people's schedules at work when it comes to time off, so I gotta plan my jumps through those hurdles.
