I have to say I hope to never see one in person. You can just imagine the devastation it left behind.

And a GREAT morning to all!

$233.50 plus shipping. About fifty bux past my monthly allowence.

I'll have to nurse my wounds with the Jonsered 670.

But, there is a Solo 640 that looks yummy............................................... Red/white like a kitched appliance from the '50's.

Looked pretty "iffy" for the price. Especially if it had been run on that half of an air filter. If the chip shield under the clutch doesn't fit perfectly, the carb box gets packed with chips and debris. If the filter doesn't fit tight, the piston gets a bath of junk. I've got another C-70 hanging in the goat barn to prove it.

they make loctite for rotational forces, I wonder if it would help on a flywheel with a thinned key for extra insurance?

Loctite 648

You have to heat it to get it to break loose. It's used to lock the generator rotor to the tapered shaft on our bikes and If you don't use it, it's a guarantee that you'll shear the key on the shaft.

How bad is the 'goat barn' Wright?

Keep in mind that Bishops in Perry, Ks. was a Wright dealer back in the day. And, they have a huge pile of saw carcasses.

Bad. The piston is welded to the cylinder. I sheared the flywheel key or maybe worse trying to get it to break loose. It never budged. Thought about throwing it in the bottom of one of the parts cleaning vats at work and forgetting about it for a few months. It would probably come out bright paintless magnesium and still be locked up.

Observation: The electronic/solid state ignitions don't make good spark at cranking speed like the old magneto/points system. I've driven some with my 1/2" drill motor rated at 300 rpm and can barely detect a spark. And, you must have the plug firmly grounded as in Vice Grips. Turn out the room lights.

Correct.. I have spark... It's just at the wrong time!!!
Key is sheared... I'll advance a half key width and use the impact driver on it tonight...
Ordering a 7 degree offset key today..
But boy did that saw haul the mail with 3/8 chain!!!
Until it ceased running at all..

Someone jacked one of our 250's that was setup with our dime tip caving bar out of the back of our truck a couple weeks ago so our sponsor in joplin hooked us up with this yesterday.

Nope it was pieced together from a couple of saws anyway.
