I bought a replacement oil tank to fix my ruined and rotating bar bolt. There was a crack in the replacement tank so I decided to tap out the good bolts. I washed it in the dishwasher, used a dremel to rough up the casting. I then cut a washer in half to support the heads against the casting better. Then used Kevlar reinforced, oil and temp resistant epoxy to hold the reiniforcing in place and help keep the bolts in place. Here are some pics.
Hope it works!
797 showed up today... it's a tad on the rough side... but it has tons of compression, and needs a good cleaning. It sat in a barn for 25 years... So the bar oil and crud is almost like it crystalized on the outside of the saw.
So I use some stuff made by POR-15 called Marine Clean... works great, and is water soluable. Won't mess up paint either. I cleaned up the recoil with it... it was almost black with crud... now the yellow really comes through. It's a lot cleaner than the rest of the saw.
It will be a winter project...
36" bar and .404 chain. Oiler needs some work, and the carb prolly needs to be gone through... I cut with it. I will post a vid in the "noodles" thread. It did okay considering I haven't touched the carb or adjusted the oiler. Chain got a little hot, so I had to stop cuttin'... not enough oil... but I can really feel the torque from the 123cc's.
