Any suggestions for tubing to replace the oiler lines in a 450/550? The ones in the 450 are really squishy. Not working at all. Is tygon ok? Something better? Total noob here when it comes to all mag saws.

Going by the notch in the gear cover its a 990 the 909 didn't have that cut out area to get at the alean screws for the handle bracket

I have a homelite super 2 on the bench it has a worn reed. The reed is staked into the intake not screwed on. Is it possible to flip the reed on these or is this intake disposable?

Little update I used cutter to get some purchase on those pressed stakes they twist out firmly I flipped that reed and pressed them back in after starting em in half way. It fired right up. This has the fixed high speed does that mean this one drinks 16:1?
