This sounds like a perfect fall back plan to meI have one, but dibz'd by another member & currently workin on a deal. if that falls through...
Yep I agree. I picked up a fried 044. It was $125 and just needed a new set of rings and a flat of the piston and a clean of the cylinder. It now works a treat.Check the trading post here. Also Craigs list and fleabay. Sometimes saws show up at tag sales or farm auctions.
Most people don't realize most "scored" cylinders can be cleaned up so parts saws are worth a look. Even if P/C is no good the "carcass" can still be a parts source.
I found a NOS/OEM P/C on fleabay a few years back that was cheaper in cost than an Italian Tecomec at the time.
If you can find an Italian NOS Tecomec P/C assy they were OEM quality. They have since moved production somewhere in the far east. I think Meteor is still all Italian but have not worked with their cylinders. There is a slew of Chi-Com manufacturers but I've not seen any that are as good as OEM casting, plating or finish.
Yep got it all apart. Not particularly keen on a plastic lever. Seems more of a pain than a metal one to adjust. Got it moved though. All back together good carb clean too. It started first time, no flooding. Winner. Thanks.If the diaphragm has a little tit poking down, flush with the base/bottom. If it has no tit, a half mm below the surface you have your gauge across.
Just a bit pissed with the paint colour differences between the case, AM clutch cover and brake mechanism cover. The AM parts are more grey than OE parts. Goes very very well though!Looks ausome.
