[QUOTE="rushinrio12, post: 5781458, member: 140688"] I did get one, thank you. Actually, I repaired everything and the 041 is running nicely. I haven't spent a day in the woods with it yet, but it seems fine. I tried repairing the filter base, but quickly found that it is made of magnesium! Mag doesn't repair as well as aluminum. The rear handle, however, is aluminum, and the repair I put on that with alumiweld rods is holding so far. For the spark plug wire crack, I filled the gap with liquid electrical tape then covered it with three layers of Nitro tape. Nitro tape is rated for 8,000 volts per layer, so I figured that should be enough for a coil that I read puts out around 20,000 volts. The only real problem is that the tape is red, which looks funny on the saw. Of course, the aluminum globbed onto the rear handle doesn't look all that spectacular, either! Ah, well. Function over form. [/QUOTE]
