Another 10 series
This was a fun little project that I finished while waiting for parts to arrive for the 790....
A PM 55, stripped it down to the bare block and polished up the exhaust port, new rings, new seals, the crank bearings were as smooth as silk. No Mcc yellow paint on the block:hmm3grin2orange:
I only had to clean up the greasy side, both tanks were almost spotless. I bought this one as a parts donor, it was missing the recoil cover and muffler. So I was very pleased to see the clean bore. The piston has a vertical scar where it ingested something foreign. The rings were trashed. Also it came with a brand new air filter and fuel line!! Not bad for $12.50.
I "borrowed" a 10 series recoil and muff, and got it to fire on the third pull after a prime. So monday nite the clouds lifted enough, I got to make some test cuts, and adjust the carb. It sounds and pulls real good for a 10-. I might just have to keep it, instead of flipping it.....
