Tig with AZ92A filler. No, spool guns with aluminum wire doesn't work well on mag; especially on thin, multifaceted things like chainsaw cases.

It does, but we need to see something repaired

I decided to pull the jug and take .040" off the base and set squish to .019". Raised the exhaust up to 104°, raised transfers to 124°, epoxied intake up to 76°. Made a few test cuts a couple nights ago. It runs a little hotter with more compression, but so far so good on the RN welded exhaust flange.

It's not a save but a method .My little sparing partner from Chico Cal. once made some b9ld statement I couldn't weld worth a hoot . So how about two tin cans with a torch .Never as much as a peep out of him since

I bet he's short and likes bike saws.

That would be he .I got a good laugh out of it then I told him how I did it .Tie wire for the filler,number 00 tip which took me forever to find. Gas pressure so low it did not register on the gauge .
