Its beat up too and would soon have a groove in it. I guess the metal cover is in place for that very reason.

Here is the final build. It still has the oem coil.

 

[Bedford T]

Excellent, you even dollied it up.

Is there some reason why the filter box cover looks crooked (or is it these old eyes)? Not being cynical -- otherwise a very nice looking saw

 

[Bedford T]

There is a little play in them all. It just so pretty it stands out. It only cocked a fraction.

I didn't even notice. I checked just now. It is crooked.

 

[Bedford T]

Refund. My top moves slightly.

I hope it doesn't cut crooked now!

There's no grommets in the cylinder cover so it doesn't sit right. You can fiddle around with them to get em close.

Would it be possible to put the brass bushings in these covers like the OEM ones?
You think that would solve it?

Sure the aftermarket covers are a direct copy of the oem but they don't supply the grommets. The grommets have a 9mm OD so you can imagine how much slop you get.

I did screw the top cover in when it was around 25 degrees and snapped the plastic around the side hole. It was brittle. I didn't even tighten it much.

I think we are up to 46 saws in our group buy. That's a lot of rice.

Can you PM me about the group buy. I would like to buy a few as well as a good friend of mine would like a few too.

 

[Bedford T]

Does yours look like this?

 

[Bedford T]

I fiddled with it.

 

[Bedford T]

I got this chain guard today.

 

[tbohn]

Does yours look like this?

Yep.

I found some steel "spacers" at my local Ace Hardware. You know the type of store - the ones with the endless bins of little-bitty parts that you wonder how they make any money on? The spacer OD is a tight press-fit in the cover, and the ID matches the screws pretty well. You might go have a look - they work really well to prevent over-tightening too.
