Thank you, it does have a metal intake clamp. I already ordered a Hyway Nikasil Head kit for it and a meteor piston. Both arrive Friday. I just wish I could have found the whole meteor kit.All good advice so far!! Definitely get rid of the cat muffler and do a metal intake clamp if those things haven’t already been done. For your $25 investment you scored….. no pun intended!!
Cyl looks like it would clean up just from the pics. I would stay with OEM on the cyl if it doesn’t. I would go with a meteor piston. You’ll end up with a real good runner on the cheap!
One last tip…. when you get ready to put it all together save yourself tons of grief and install the intake boot and carb on the cyl off the saw then install as a unit! You use a lot less foul words…. Trust me!! Good luck!!
Maybe I'll return the Hyway one and buy a meteor top end kit if the OEM jug can't be saved.
Also thank you for the tip on installing the carb and intake boot first.
