What's on your bench?

The 80 was $250 and the 55 was $100. These machines were produced in the 80's to the early 90's and some parts are nla. However, some of the wear parts like the friction disk, honda still produces and stocks for $55. Many of the wear parts like bearings, bushings, belts, etc are everyday common sizes that are inexpensive. Ebay still has many nla used parts available and these machines are still in abundance all across the north. I plan to acquire one more of each over time just for spare parts.

They're definitely built to last. Just keep an eye out and one needing a little work for a deal will eventually come your way

What little I ran this one before tearing it down I really liked it. Just finished porting it, so should like it even more.

Mine really ran great with a muff mod and 16” bar. I bet it’s awesome with other mods.

Carburetors. A local shop was closing down and they were selling the carburetors they had collected over the years. I ended up with 44 of them. Some Holley, about 10 Edelbrock - mostly 1406 600 cfm, a bunch of Quadrajets (including one from a 1968 396/427), some Solex, some Weber, Autolite 2 bbls and a few 4100's, a Motorcraft or two, and several Carter AFB. I paid $500 for the lot and I've kept a few, given a few to friends, and I'm selling the rest one or two at a time.

Got a 440 mag on the bench and a husky 350 going back together. Guy said the 440 was hard to get started and the recoil was having issues. Finally told me he took parts from his 029 and swapped them into the 440 starter. It seems to hang up every couple pulls, I am assuming the starter pawls are different and that’s why it’s hanging up? Found a cracked fuel line and nasty filter so changing those out.

Tore it all the way down and cleaned everything up, going to reassemble it with a 353 cylinder and a dukes coated piston . It had the older 44mm open port cylinder on it that was scored.
