My dealer just called and the parts are in.

Cool.

I went and seen my dealer this morning, i had some parts on order not in yet. We were talking and he said I got a 038 Mag, but don't use it he likes his 026 pro. So I offer if he wanted to sell it I interested, he said he would think about it but right now didn't think so. Anybody that has one won't turn loose of it.

I think the .020 would be best and rivet it on.This is a chainsaw, not a dash in a car.The .005 w/adhesive probably wouldn't last long.

Just my 2 cents.......

I like that idea. No chance of it coming off that way. My other concern with the .005 is that it would not lay flat to the slightly curved surface and would wrinkle. I him get a sheet of each.

Time to head to the dealer and get the parts. I may temporarily through this P&C I have on the saw. That way I can get it running, verify the carb's good, and do a leak test. When the new P&C arrives in a day or two, all I'll have to do is swap them. The plastic should arrive any day as well. The aluminum for the plaque should be here by tomorrow or the next day. I think he's doing the design tonight. Pics and maybe video coming later tonight!:clap:

This might be silly to some. My wife says "things always happen for a reason". Maybe she's right..... This thread has become a source of pleasure for many of us, including the OP. Little did his BIL know that the destruction of one of his no doubt favorite tools would yield him a better tool and bring out so much goodwill and community amongst us! A special thanks to Super and Snelling for making this possible. :cheers:

I'm going to make this painful for you. We're going to take this a step at a time, LOL.

I started by bolting the oil pump on, heating the case, and then seating the clutch side bearing against the pump.

I installed the flywheel side bearing onto the crank, heated the case, and then pushed it into the case.

I then start all the case bolts and slowly and evenly draw the case together.

And there we have it.

You'll then need to relieve the pressure on the bearings by tapping the crank ends. This is why you don't install the seals first. You must be able to tell when the crank is free. It would probably be best to use a brass hammer here, but I don't have one.

Make sure you coat the lips of your oils seals before installation.

I alter tapped this seal a little deaper to make sure the flywheel didn't touch it.

This seal is flush.

This side's done except for the AV plugs once the tank's installed.

I saved the OEM gasket for the new P&C. Here's the gasket I made.

Setting the gap on the coil.

The intake elbow and impulse line installed prior to installing the tank.

Prepairing to pull the intake elbow through the hole in the carb housing. This works super slick if you haven't tried it!

The carb installed.
