P40 --- ls their suppose to be a C-Case screw here?

Not sure if it's the same as a p-41,but if it is mine has one there.

This was a unpleasant surprise l found on this here P40 saw l guess someone in the past felt JB weld would be a bad joke on someone.
Anyhow l was able to clean it out and remove screw.

 

[p61 western]

That's unreal jb weld over a screw.

Can anybody with the factory k&n set up tell me what the gasket on the bottom of the base is made out of.I got one but the gasket is gone,for now i made do with weather strip.

 

[Beavers]

The material seems to be a dense closed cell type black foam. l measured the thickness, you should see it in pic. pic on left is new nos item and pic on right is a used take off base showing some wear.
Hope this helps.

Thank you again.I am running it a little rich for the ring's to seat,had it in some black walnut yesterday.It's doing pretty good so far with 2 tanks thru it.

This is what it look's like now after a good cleaning and a set of ring's.

It looks like it should have great compression now.

 

[p61 western]

It looks like it should have great compression now.

It's at 150 after only 2 tank's of fuel,i'm real happy it's the first time I dove into a 2 stroke engine that far.Glad I did it there was a decent amount of carbon build up to clean up.

A little history on the p-52.It's a old usfs hot shots saw that was set aside in a shed for who now's long.Back in 2013 it was found by a usfs worker with 3 other's then traded in for new saw's.Fellow as member Paul hill found them at the saw shop and bought them.I bought mine from Paul hill,I should have posted this before the pic's but oh well.

 

[p61 western]

Anybody need a farmsaw starter,I have one complete and in good shape.

 

[P62]

That's a real nice P52 Western. One of the saws I am still looking for
Nice score.

 

[p61 western]

Thank you for the compliment, I love it so far.I really wasn't looking for it kind of stumbled across it.I was looking for a p-51 at the time,but i'm very glad i got this saw.
