'Bill' the ner do well handyman was by. Wrecked two more saws. Broke the end of the crankshaft off on a small Craftsman and blew the plug out of his MS170. Tore the end off the plug wire. Plug was cross threaded and worked loose.

Actually it is 'Bill's' son who is the ham fisted one. Shouldn't be let near any machinery but is the only "help" 'Bill' can afford.

always liked those cars. even liked the 58 model. always heard the 348's were turds. don't know, just heard.

If you add compression, and make the heads flow a
348 can run strong!

Big Red (2171) is nearing attempt to start status.
Need to splice in about 4" of plug wire and figure how to route the kill sw. wire.

Still waiting on 372 top plastic to see if we can modify it to work with the J-red recoil.

And, just discovered a broke off 5mm screw.[emoji37]

What is the closest inch tap drill size for 5mm x 0.80mm?
The 'Easy Out' ain't working and the last thing I want is a broken off one in the hole.

 

[sawnami]

I wouldn't go over 5/32" fractional size or #19 numerical.
Is it crossthreaded or corroded?

 

[cobey]

ECHO bar adapters for 590 to large husky mount bars
