Yes they are clean. I have ocd bad when it comes to cleaning them off when im done. Ive been handed so many over the years that were very heavily caked and air filters plugged that i make it a point to keep them clean. I tell people.....A clean saw is a happy saw! Makes me laugh.
That sucks !
Why is it the only ones that seem to let go are the more rare ones? That seem to be my lot anyway. Sorry Mark!
how ya usin the goof off?
straight up or mix with?
neighbor just gave me a gal, never used b4
if im readin this right, it's ok on diaphragms, etc?
I notice that too about the 37. The 65 is slightly sluggish feel compared to the 37 and 44
Yes straight. I put a little bit in a small tupperwear container and then toss in the diaphragms. Breaks down the varnish very well. They curl up and become flexible again. Ive not had it hurt anything. I will.also disassemble a carb and drop the whole thing in there and leave it soak. It really works well for me. Smells strong though. I cover the container.
Looks good ed. Love that clutch cover. My favorite one.
Hello I’m wondering if anyone could help me out, I’m looking for a part number, or where to source a coil for a pro Mac 700. Thanks, Roy
Mark and I have them NOS. PM either of us.
Speaking of 700's , if I can get an 029 super I have running , I may have a deal lined up for a 700 and a 10-10!!!
Definately trade a 290 or 029 for a 700! Thatd be a great trade. Good luck.
Plus a 10-10!! I have two 700's and I don't know how many 10-10's but........ Lol
Thats hilarious that someone values an 029 over a PM700!
Shhhh at least til I have my hands on it!! Lol
I didn't thnk the damage inside the crankcase was too bad so I cleaned everything up began reassembly. I like to pressure test before moving on and after several failed attempts (I had the block off for the intake upside down...) I realized there was a leak somewhere...
I had to resort to dunking it in water and found the problems, at some point when the crankshaft pinched the BB against the side of the case it distorted it and cracked through. The ones in the green circle were O.K. but the one in red...
...led to this.
I cleaned it very thoroughly and applied some JB Weld to the interior surface. I learned from Terry Ives that warming everything up first helps the JB flow out. I'll do a little grinding, filing, sanding to clean it up before putting it back together.

That stinks Mark but if anyone can whip it, you will. Good luck.
