Those are good looking saws, glad to hear they are running great for you. The metal tape you used between the cylinder and the plastic shield, what brand is it and where did you get it? I need to get some for a couple of 562s I am working on.

Without a doubt. They were really forward thinking towards the end-user experience in the 50cc category.

The tape I have is from the brand IPG or itape.com

It is a thinner foil than the stuff that is purposed for HVAC. It's very easy to cut and mend.

I used some black permatex "adhesive sealant rtv" to fix tears on this particular intake boot. Should hold up.
