    No this one is mine. Jacks is already at his place. I got busy and didn't take any pictures of it. I did get a video or two of it though.

    Just got the 044 together and runs good, but it won't idle. :(
    I just realized the tab on the carb that rests against the idle screw was bent, and when I tried to straighten it, it broke off! Oh well. I'll rob the part off my spare carb. Here's a pic...

    I've got one of the ryobi saws on the bench. I tried to rit dye the stupid yellow plastic bits the other day. Didn't turn out so well, so now I have to paint them. I'll use that krylon fusion, that ought to hold good if I prep em right.

    Worked on building a 3/4 wrap for the o64 last night! Two hours of grinding and bending and I think it looks pretty good.

    I still need to find someone with a TIG to weld it up for me... :cool:

    Well I am going to give it a shot.

    I have been helping out in the saw shop and brought this home yesterday.

    Thanks a ton!:drool:

    That does look slightly cleaner and better organized.:whistle:

    I'll clean it up today.

    This one for sure needs bearings, seals and piston. Cylinder is OK.

    Will do.

    The owner of the shop will be supervising everything and ordering all parts. He is very thorough.

    Nothing goes out without pressure testing too.

    Still waiting for me to get the gumption. Project orange poulan when I get done with it to go with the lime green one. Being they didnt make either in those colors.
    Have 3-4 other poulan projects waiting for me too.

    Bench #3. The catch all.

    Not on my bench but projects. Toyota sequoia chasing down 0420 bad cat code. May install o2 simulators.

    Mrs mower that the wife hit roots with and put the blade through the deck.

    On the bench an 011 that needs possible fuel lines and carb rebuild.
    An 009 that needs kill switch fix and tune.

    An old echo I am about tired of. Broke the rope trying to start it after carb rebuild. And something else wrong I just dont remember its been so long since I had time with it. And a few others...think an old he lite and a plastic poulan to part.

    AWESOME, I'm doing the same thing to my 365 special. I hate full wraps, especially huskys version, but love a 3/4 wrap.

    Yup it has the metal clamp.

    I went to Horrible Freight and bought their 2.5 Liter ultrasonic cleaner with heater today. It is awesome for cleaning up the cylinder and smaller metal parts.
