I've been good Jerry. Got some time off over the holidays and have been tinkering on a few things. I was out your way in Halifax in July. I love it there. How's life with you?

Just an update on this old thread as I really like this bowling ball vice. I drilled and tapped 2 holes in the rear nut so I could make it into a big wing nut. Just a couple 1.5 or 2 inch long 1/4 inch bolts doubled nutted. I ground off the heads so it's easier on my hands. It works great...

Here's what I was able to dig up from when I bought from these guys in 2013. www.standardmagneto.com The coil was about $40 USD. Condensor $12 and points around $20. Coil: X-5460 Condenser: X-5463 Points: X-7046 I didn't buy them but I have a note about the parts below. X-7072 Stator plate...

Your PH is awesome! You can still get coils, points and condensers for these out of Chicago. Standard Electric I believe. I can send you the part numbers if you are interested

I had 3 spares. One had a beat up emblem. The rest were missing the pioneer letters and the emblems.

I like it!

I put these in the 2 man saw thread. Probably a better fit over here. I have a lot of hours into this one. I even cleaned up the internals of the carb with brasso. Hundreds of pics. Here are a few. All new fasteners. Thanks to jeff do providing the owners manual. I was able to order all new...

Finally got this one done!

Cool. I found a box and will try to get it in the mail this week.

FedEx is estimating around $25. I think this in the higher side.

I have two powerhead vices. Looking to get rid of one. Would like $100 plus shipping. It easily holds a 3120. You get the Wilton Pow-r-arm junior work positioner with an angle iron bracket. I painted the bracket black after testing it on an MS660, MS260, Husky 3120xp, 353 and Dolmar 7900...

These aren't my pictures but I've made mine the same out of a 3" piece of scrap channel.

I've seen the ones you guys have put together. Very nice for sure. You can't beat the milled aluminum. I get a weird sense of satisfaction when I convert pickings from the scrap been at work into usable stuff. If I ever get off my butt and buy a welder I'll be that weird guy in my...

I think I've spent more time this year creating ways to hold a powerhead than I did working on saws. I made a saw vice from a bowling ball and posted some pics in the thread below. http://www.arboristsite.com/community/posts/5723652/ Since then I've stumbled upon a couple of used Wilton...

I hear you on the clamp! I was thinking along the same line as lone wolf and the L screw when I asked about throttle response off idle. Sounds like you had it set pretty close. The h needle could be damaged or there could be something on the seat. I pull most of the cotton of a qtip and...

Good to hear everything is free. Whatever it was never got under the ring. I light the inside with a little flashlight in a dark room and twist the boot every which way. You can do the without removing the clamp now that the cylinder is off. I've never taken off a clamp like that. It...

It looks like something got in the cylinder. Maybe a small metal shaving during reassembly after your muffler mod? Is there evidence of anything embedded at the top of the cylinder in line with the scratches? Or at the top of the exhaust port? Hopefully it ejected it out into the muffler...

Does the ring move freely within the groove? Not bound near that scratch is it?

What's the clamp look like? 3 prongs at the end facing out? On those ones I pinch with needle nose or small pliers and start wiggling the boot until it pops off. Sometimes put some pressure on the cylinder end of the hose with the side of a flat screwdriver.
