Next chapter in my 031 repair saga. (Won't idle & won't restart when hot) The corrosion on the clutch side of the crankcase is worse than I expected - one 3/16" hole and another longer but narrower spot that is just about to give way. I guess that pretty much accounts for the problems I'm having with this old-timer.
I read Lakeside's incredible thread about repairs with JB Weld. What I'm not quite sure of is whether that sort of repair can be made on the crankcase itself. Can it? I've built several boats, so I'm used to working with epoxy, even for building fuel and water tanks. I'm just not sure how it stands up to the heat, pressure, and vibration you get with chainsaws.
