Excellent thread Eduardo. Well now it has sealant and "filter issue" references anyway...

You just wait until I select some oil and mix up its first batch of fuel.

We all know that echo red armor is the bestest, and only at 42:1.

So I can't just melt a couple sticks of unsalted butter into a gallon of corn gas?

It will get ethanol free 90 and Amsoil Sabre at 40:1 like every other saw I have.

All of my unsalted sweet cream butter gets used for frying up smash burgers

Looking good Ed.

Only thing I do differently is i trim the tabs off the red limiters and reinstall. Makes for easier tuning with the screwdriver that way.

Your muffler. That hole is big and may burn your new brake handle. I‘ll see if I can find a pic of how I do em.

I have a bunch of brake flags, but unsure what’s what with the 1128. Whats the 460 brake handle PN?

Did you remember to install the grommet over the coil wires and into the case pass through after you pulled them through? I always forget and have to take it apart again.

I did install the wire grommet.
Now that you say it, I even think I took a pic of it but must have missed it in posting.

Never thought of melting the brake handle....
I can modify/install a deflector to make that not happen.

Also, good call on the limiters...maybe I'll put them back in with the tabs trimmed.

On some carbs the red caps will help them hold tune. I've left them off and had issues with the jets backing out.

Then if you can't reuse the caps, you can slide a piece of Tygon fuel hose of the correct size around the jet screws, with the right hose, there will be a friction fit and they won't move around with vibrations

I fixed the chain rashed brake cover during my lunch hour today.

 

[redline4]

Taking Al's advice, I my buddy in the body shop cut me a chunk out of a mangled fender he was replacing.
I ground the paint off and went to work.

[redline4]

I'll throw some paint on it tomorrow as I don't have any high temp at work.

 

[redline4]

Should do the trick

If they are moving, they need new orings on em. If I can remember tomorrow, I'll get a size.

Great thread Ed. We need more of these.

Agreed... we all learn something in these threads. That o ring size would be great info.

Ed looks funny, but he's a keeper for sure.
