Did you cut it on your lathe ?

It ain't rocket ship parts for Nasa. .001" is fine.

Not just me Sir, Doc Al @drf256 is going to be setting up his lathe for this as well. Easier to ship everything to me, then the good Doc and I are going to work together on getting you all squared away ........ nothing like teamwork to get the job done !!

I can't thank both of you enough. I know how expensive this equipment is, not to mention your time.

It came with the lathe from mike

I have at least two NASA jugs here... Looks original.

Remember, the space program has highly spec'd parts that are mostly built by the lowest bidder.

Like Randy said, it likely won't make a difference. You may be chasing a level of precision that is not realistically attainable with your existing equipment and not needed for the job at hand.

The 066 is coming apart now. @srcarr52

Well, good on both Kevin and Dr Al.

Would love it if I lived a bit closer to you two guys, but not if you stay on LI!!!

Not enough hills, and too much traffic!!!

The first couple of things I noticed is that there is a handlebar screw, meant to thread into plastic, used to hold the top cover on. So, that hole is farked...
The other thing is that the screw holes for the handlebar in th tank are stripped. They just spin, but stay in there. I actually approached J about it when I got the saw, and he said he didn't know that, and that they didn't need to be tight anyways, as long as they kept the handlebar in place...

I would fill them with Loctite PL Prem, let it dry for 2 days, and re drill (and tap) as necessary. It is good stuff and easy to use. Comes in a caulking tube. Color will be a close match for the tank holder.

I figured helicoils inserted with JB weld.

At least it's Shaun's top end.

Muffler looks fine.

That may work even better for the bolts, but for the handle screws (self tapping) I would just fill the hole and re drill.

Clutch cover is am, but the dawgs are oem.

I'm waiting to hear from @srcarr52 before I post any pics of the p/c. It was his saw to begin with, and I respect him, so it's his call.
