What's on your bench?

I can get the larger ones with carb brushes. The tiny, .030 passages into the body of the carb, not so much.

You have a welding tip cleaning set?

Somewhere, lol

Found it…on the oxy/acl cart, duh…

Bottom drawer of my tool case has been difficult to shut for a couple of years. Pulled it out other day and found 3 tools I've been missing for a year and 3 or 4 more that belonged to the previous owner.

I run a wire from a repair tag down into those as far as I can.

I can try, with the welding tip kit when I find it, lol.
But, the aluminum oxide is pretty bad. Good thing is the needle seats are not affected.

This Remington SL11 was pumping a lot of air and very little oil. The pickup in the tank was pretty plugged and the line from the oil tank to the pump was a bit loose on the pump end.

All cleaned up and everything works now.

Next up is this Homelite Super XL dressed up in John Deere yellow.

It is locked up currently. I will get it apart and decide if there is any hope. I have some parts saws in the attic, or I may just clean it up and make it look nice for the display.

I bought an aftermarket super XL-12 top end from some black market temu type site, it's pretty good looking! I might have a used XL-12 cylinder if you come up short.

The 350CS is cleaning up nicely, but the piston is done. For whatever reason, these were built with a plain bore cylinder and chrome plated piston. I found decent Super XL in the attic and will see if I can use that piston and cylinder on the "John Deere".

Got this Stihl done so I can get it out of here before it tries to rub this ugly white color off on some of my dolmars

Is it a 390 now?

No piston and cylinder were in good shape so got crank seals, all new lines, intake boot, skf bearings, caber rings, a little wider exhaust port, timing advance and a muffler mod

need to get a cleaning setup like that. Presently I soak stuff in degreaser and hose it off on the back lawn. Doesn’t quite work when it’s 20° outside
