Finally got some more work done. The Mityvac showed up and of course it vac and pressure tested well. I was not too impressed with the tester though. The hoses and connections that came with it leaked pretty bad. I don't see how anyone could use it for it's intended purpose as is. I ended up pulling the hose and end pieces off my Harbor fright vac tester so I could get a good reading.
Anyone else have this issue?
Anyone have a source for the plug wire protective wrap?
When I got the bar it had a new roller tip and a good grooming but it looked like hell.
I have a coworker that does vinyl decals in his spare time so I had him make me a few stencils to paint my bar with. Stuck them on, taped it off and sprayed a bit of black on it.
Looks decent.. I know it wont last long anyways, I just wanted to try it.
Got some parts from Hutzl to finish it off. My first time ordering from them. I've ordered from Hlsupply and just kinda assumed the quality would be universal for aftermarket crap from china. Not so! This "elastostart" handle is the crappiest piece of crap I've ever seen. It wont be staying long.
I couldn't afford a new recoil cover or powdercoat services at this time so I spent some time touching up the paint with a toothpick filling in the chips. I've done quite a bit of this and the results are satisfactory for now.
I still need to swap out the top cover badge! A new tank/handle sure would look nice. This one is much more yellowed than it looks in the picture.
I blasted and PC'd the filter base plate. Color match was good! Wish we had the grey so I could do the rest. I also cut new rubber chip deflectors for the clutch cover.
32" bar, 3/8 .050 chain and full fluids = 22lbs 90z
Thanks again
