It looks like the handlebar is flattening out as it goes under the tank. I'm sure you already know but dolmar offered an air filter upgrade kit for the early 133 that included that topcover, and the supers came with that topcover. The decals on the topcover matches my mx extra so not necessarily older I guess.


Har, har,

bet that 'flattning" on the bottom was from years of the old gal gettin' dropped?

Well I was thinking that it was the plastic tank because it uses the handlebar that is flat or crimped on the bottom and not round tubing, but it's hard to tell from the picture. Either way it's a great score I think.

Got that 143 all cleaned up and the seller sent me the clutch cover and spike for it too.

The dude musta had the original filter because the crankcase was stuffed full O' oily dust and such.

The Jug cleaned up nicely and I could get by with new rings.

I have a bunch of 55mm domed pistons I had bought for me old 153 SD.

They work just fine in a 143 if you face a little off the skirts.

I have done one 143 previously with the domed aftermarket piston talk about a biotch to pull over!

Here's the wrap handle freshly re-hosed,

Is there a better starting saw than the 116/120si?

Seems they can sit for a month and still fire off in one or two pulls, none of my other saws come close!

That be an impressive log (and saw)

Reminds me of the big Sycamores we have around here (bet it's a whole bunch harder though)

Here's a round of Sycamore noodled, very purty grain eh?
