I might have got your o-ring I had 2.

I had 2 of them as well.

I guess I dithered too long, was debating ordering one or 6! Unless, of course, they improved something and needed to charge more for it?

So the case is aluminum, not magnesium???

If the price is low enough, putting another P&C on it could make sense, as long as the bottom end is strong enough. I would only want a saw this size if I could make it run strong, otherwise, I don't need a saw this size!

 

[trboxman]

I honestly don't know what the case is made of, there is a <Mg> cast into the case halves which is the periodic table symbol for Magnesium. It could just be a case of cloning details they don't understand.

I also had two... but i think they were in separate packages. One in a specific package for the oiler and another in the "complete rubber set" package.

I have my doubts that the top cover bushings are really needed. I'm just going to run without them. IMO, the spike nuts are the only key components that are consistently missing from the kits. Thankfully, those are trivial to replace at a hardware store.

someone could try to burn some of the shavings from the clutch cover. mg should catch fire whereas aluminum shouldn't really react at all to a normal flame. ... just don't throw any water on the burning shavings.

Well I can tell you my ported 460 walks on it. And I'm no pro porter.

I have no way of testing so it's speculation. But magnesium also doesn't corrode the same

I just did the burn test. It's definitely magnesium. I'll post the video once google/youtube finish processing it.

I ordered a huztl 372 cylinder cover and it says EM original on it. So it is likely that they didn't know or didn't care to take off the Mg marking

I have another clutch cover and thought about doing this very thing but I'm not sure if it would be pure magnesium or an alloy that might not have the same propensity to burn. In any case I think I'll give it a try just to see WTF happens, it's not like I really have anything to lose...

Edit: too slow, BTarb24 the mad scientist beat me to it

Glad someone knows how to test it

Magnesium is what they use for most of those little campfire starter kits. They give you a magnesium rod and a flint. You shave off some of the magnesium rod to get some loose shavings.. then hit it with the flint and it burns extremely hot.

 

[davhul]

Then throw water on it and run.

Here's the video of the quick burn test.

What if you try this.
Alum. shavings+iodine+water

I won't tell ya what I put in a smoke bomb one time when I was a teenager, cause I don't want anyone else doing it, but it made a bright flame 15' high, hissed like a jet engine, and burned a hole in the road! We didn't do it any more, I'll tell you that!

Like when the Russians scored a complete B29 that fell into their lap (or rather, had mechanical trouble and landed on their field), and copied it down to the repair sections on the wings, from previous flack damage.

Well got it running. I can't turn it over without the decompression valve open. Maybe I can install a kick-starter!
I was getting the carb tuned when it stalled. When tried to start it up, the key sheared on the flywheel. I did not test the compression before the failure. It feels like more than my 038 magnum (175).
Picture of sheared pin below. I don't think I tightened it enough.

I had to drive 30 miles to get a key but I got it running. It runs well and idles nice. It does jump around quite a bit when it is idling on the driveway. I tried to get a compression test but I could barely turn it over without the decomp. I could only get it up to 125 psi. I know it's higher than that I just can't pull it over.
I'm heading north for the weekend to clean up some blow down. I will have a chance to compare it with some other saws. I have to finish installing a new wood stove before deer season. I do some bird hunting too.
