OK you all can laugh, I don't mind. The last saw I had in non-running condition was an Orline Mustang 13. I kind of stashed it away in the garage about a year ago hoping to never find it after an exhaustive search for parts to no avail. Believe this or not, the wife was rummaging around in the garage the other day and brought it to me saying: "I think you misplaced this one". Well, the gauntlet was down and it was time to jump a few hurtles. It just so happens Farley9 had a recent post stating that he had some similar parts saws. He was able to supply some of the missing pieces I needed and was kind enough to send them to me at a very modest price. Next was what to do about the carb diaphragm, so I made my own. Yep, first time for me, perhaps not for some of you seasoned vets. I purchased the diaphragm from a 6hp Mercury Marine outboard , used the old stiff one as a template and cut it to size with an Exacto knife. Kind of crude around the perimeter but, I guess looks aren't everything. The worse part about this darn thing is it's miniature size. The tools I usually use have been replaced with tweezers, forceps, tubing wrenches, jewelers screw drivers, flash light and magnifiers. A real PITA for these old eyes for sure. No IPL or manual and some sort of funky carb configuration I've never seen before made it oh so fun especially, after I spilled all the parts on the floor. Well, it's all assembled and after goofing with the carb settings for the better part of an hour, trying to figure out which lever/screw/doodad did what, she starts right up and purrs like a kitten. It sure is a tiny thing but, I'm interested to see what this little gear drive can do. Some timed cuts against the 090G should be interesting.:monkey:

I love the unique looks, especially the muffler.
