A Craigslist ad.:

"twochain saws one craftsmans one homelite both 18 inch bars 50,00 each ready to mow"
 
I had a guy in South Carolina find me through this site as I had posted pictures of my old Dolmar CC 109. He wanted to buy it for a RC plane engine. He explained that guys who do that like the old Dolmars for the torque and lower RPM ranges than modern saws.

I told him I wasn't interested in selling mine as I had spent alot of time ('cause I'm an idiot), rebuilding it. But as a nice guy, I said I'd find him one here in France and if I got to keep all the parts he didn't want, and he paid for the saw and the the shipping, I'd find him one. I found a really sound CC109 for a great price, test ran it, stripped it and shipped it to him.

I didn't pull the flywheel or the clutch as I don't have the right tools and he told me that he would send me the magneto, clutch, and flywheel when his airplane motor genius finished the work.

Of course I haven't heard back from him in 8 months. Some of the extra parts have already come in handy though.

I was mad for having an oiler problem; now I am mad that I don`t have more powerheads with the same problem
LOL
good stuff....
I think I`ll put it on a bike. 50 cc should do , don`t you think ?

50cc is the limit here in the states without having a license plate or classified as a motorcycle as long as the peddles are still on the bike. A few of my buddies built them this summer. I am going to do a 61.5cc because my chainsaw head looks smaller than my buddies 50cc on his bike so i might get away with it unless the cop is a member here :)...Bob
 
I've got a little Homelite Water Bug pump. I guess it's from the early 80's. My Dad used it to pump water from the creek into 55 gallon drums and then pump them onto his garden. I'll post a pic in the morning, Joe.
