Nice! she a runner? I have one in my stash... Can't seem to get it to fire no matter what. I figure the compression is just not there to make it pop.

So by the lack of antivibe mounts it looks like an R16, have you identified it yet? Actually the more I look at it the more it could be one of the semi pro versions with the yellow and black like that, maybe an S50 or S55? Never mind S55 is out it is anti-vibe. So the lack of an operator precense lever means its also not a s50, so the other possibilities are the F55/A55

I created a post about it and I was told it's an F55. I did some shopping on sears parts direct and I got a new OEM air filter for it, and OEM crank seals for my 372. All for $35 shipped.

Alright guys I'm pretty proud of my son. They only get one trophy so even if he got a good time he had already won the design competition. You know church rules where they try to spread the love here's some pictures. Bearing were added later to meet the max weight. He actually did win his races but like I said he had already won the design trophy so we can share.
