Guess what I smiled biggest over on this pick up.

On today's episode, we have an Echo 355T. Good compression but runs like crap. Piston and ring look good through exhaust side of things. Gonna rip carb out and apart to give it a look. Fuel lines "feel" ok and filter "looks" clean. Famous last words right!!!

Needs a few other bits like bar and chain, possible clutch cover as this 1 has had heat damage to the point of making the plastic into a semi liquid form and a few other minor things I'm sure.

Also, onto the Super Secret Project 350! Probably a next year build but getting some parts lined up now before any shortages may come my way. Gonna try out one of them Titanikel kits from Hyway with a pop up piston. Got a single hole ported muffler with no baffles, new crank bearings and seals and a few other bits & bobs on the way. Thinking a 20" B&C in .325 7 tooth.

Got all winter to think it all out.... and maybe even change a few more things!

Bench update.

Rebuilt a cheap Husky 141 I got with semi-froze crank bearings. Threw in a new Meteor piston I had on hand although the original didn't look horrible. Rebuild carb, new crank bearings with seals, new intake and impulse tubes, new fuel line and vent parts, new oil and fuel caps, new 14" bar and chain, new muffler. Gonna need a new or good used clutch cover cuz of heat damage by chain brake.

Ran half a tank of break in fuel tonight thru it. So far, runs like a Singer! LOL
I even may have it sold already so bonus!
