I bought a 359 to convert into a xpg for my dad. Bought all the parts to convert it. Spent more than I should have on the 359 but I was made a good deal on the conversion parts, so it offset.
Finally got around to starting on it and the case is rotten on the 359. Major bummer. Ohh well put on the shelf until I find a donor.
Last week I got a 2054W in a mixed lot. Looking it over it was pretty low hour, but got straight gassed. Looking though my parts bin. I actually had a new piston. Pulled it down and cleaned everything up. It's actually a darn good running saw and the heating system works flawless.
So not exactly what I had planned, but now my dad has something nice for the cold months.
Maybe I'll find a donor and get the 359 done up. Or Maybe a 2055 top end for this one eventually.
