I got a phone call right at the drop of the green flag at Dega, sure as :censored: wasn't going to miss my nap time when NASCRAP is on, specially at Dega. I told them I would stop by after four and here is what followed me home.

Well four out of five that run ain't bad.

The 038 needed the starter recoil fixed and about two hours of cleaning. The handle was cracked where it goes into the base but the local Stihl dealer says he has one in the barn. She is low on compression to what it needs to be and will be a candidate for a Baileys upgrade.

The little Dolmar was missing both the front and rear buffers. I ordered all three today. Fresh mix five pulls and she runs.

The Husky needed a little more work. Fixed the recoil and put a carb kit in it and tightened every screw on it. I don't think anything was torqued except for the cylinder. The magnets in the flywheel has so much corrosion and rust. Emery cloth and WD-40 cured that. Runs reset the L and H by ear with no bar, need to go get a 16 to go on her and reset the carb.

The big Echo had all the bosses for the starter housing screws stripped, re-tapped two just to she if she would fire. haven't cleaned her up yet but she runs also. What a cheesy compression release, oh well it worked I guess.

MS-290 is toast. Pulled the muffler took a peek, said a few cuss words, put muffler back on.

Oh well like I said four outta five ain't bad.
