Philbert, you are right on as usual, even if you are not certain this time. The alloys used for cutting tools, whether for saw chains or drill bits or excavator teeth, are wildly different. They each require their own heat treatments to obtain the best results. Air hardening tool steels...

http://cs.trains.com/trn/f/111/p/73214/884880.aspx The lube oil doesent get changed too often, unless major contamination happens (from fuel or cooling water). On the older EMDs, there is usually some getting past the rings in the cylinder, and it usually goes out the stack (and...

Welding filler rod is available in 3 ft lengths in many sizes from too small to too large and in any weldable material. You can get it anywhere welding supplies are sold. A welding shop might be best if you only want one length cuz you will likely have to buy a pound or 5 in a package.

8 or 9 engine from a pump or genny?

Is the inner channel for water injection? Cooling and dust/spark control?

Nice setup, well done!

Thickness would be a concern, with any glue I suppose. Unrelated to that issue, I would be inclined if using RTV to put a small scrap of towel or paper in the middle and wet it. RTV needs moisture to cure, it normally comes from the air but with a large sealed up surface like one of these...

I would have suggested using RTV. On large surfaces like that it seems to be impossible to remove. I suspect that the hot glue will hold just fine. I agree that the magnetic trays are indispensable.

September 29, 1978, maybe. The tag is curled up and the end is not visible in the picture. The date should be correct if there is only one more digit on the tag not visible.

They are not uncommon, show up on the bay now and then. The price seems a little high. If it had the saw inside.... So, then I looked closely at the ad and all the internal dividers have been cut out, just dropped to about $20 in my book.

Here's the IPL, about half way down the page: https://www.leonschainsawpartsandrepair.com/parts-diagrams.html

For my 2 cents, just lean out the screws 1/8 or 1/4 turn and you are there. Keep it rich enough to 4 stroke when not in the cut, then smooth out in the wood. No reason that I know of to toss the high speed adjustment capability.

From the collection of Joyce Wilson, the chainsawlady, an original notice appeared in the August, 1957, #57, "Sawdust" from Homelite in Port Chester, NY, regarding the announcement of the service tool board posted above. Undee70ss has scanned and posted it on his record page from the House of...

10 minutes is not long enough, try 250 for an hour. All the older units were points, XL-12 on up would fit. You need the coil, bracket, points, condenser and flywheel, hopefully from the same saw to be sure they mate up. Of course you could find a parts saw with the electronic that works in...

If you can find a store that carries them, you could turn them all in for new.

If the torque arm is vertical, cal will be tough as you will have to have a balanced fixture to hang your weight on or the arm holding the weight will screw up the cal. If the torque arm is horizontal, you can zero the sensor, then add your weight to it for cal.

I am thinking the problem he discusses has a lot to do with many years under clamp load of the screws rather than whether or not it was used. Of course, over torquing would be bad too. Hope you find the trouble.

I might check the fuel pump body, #19, on the IPL and the fuel pump cover, #26, for warping and air leaks. Leon did a video on that not too long ago.

I have a couple of possibilities for a spanner that might work. One I modified for the SXL clutch, I think it is the same if you want to borrow it. This clutch screws on the crank, doesn't it?

Probably have to take the clutch cover off, pump would be behind the clutch.
