I’ve heard a belt sander works great. Gunna have to keep an eye out fir one here.

I think I can make this work with a little grind on the I.D.

Success! This material is roof flashing . I did learn if your going to fab a gasket from metal dont try to cut it to size with shears. The edge will roll under at the cut. Cut it 1/16 away and finish grind it to shape with a stone dremel mounted point . Clean off the flash with a sharp razor knife and a little sand paper. Next is intake gaskets.

That looks great. Might have to put an order in ...

Thanks , get um while they're hot.

This is an easy way to pattern difficult gasket shapes. The prussion blue can be bought at Napa or easily found online. I dab it on with a cotton swab or a piece of felt on larger areas . Less is best you dont want to much . Press the paper without sliding it and boom! Instant pattern.

Good tip. Gunna have to pick some up.

I have a good running complete pioneer p28 I want to get rid of. What can I expect to get for it? The air filter cover has a couple cracks in it and it has a new air filter. Both witch are hard to come by. I'm just curious. Thanks for any input. I need to thin my heard a bit.

Think I can assemble tomorrow . Got the carb and intake , oil plug and glass bowl fabed tonight . Thinkin I might as well do the oil tank too . I hate leaks. Whats that P28 worth ? Found a excellent example for $100.

A tip for those style gasket punchs, use the end grain instead of flat. You will be amazed lol

 

[2stroke_shaman]

So a bit harder backstop . I keep punches sharp . Ill give it a try! I still have a couple to make . Thanks.

I use a piece of birch newal post from a handrail install. Fits nice in vice and offers two nice ends for use

 

[rocketnorton]

slab of Teflon, umhw, or plastic cutting board work nice too.

l see the Condenser cut out on the str assy, is it possible the 3071 saw was modified. Has your 3071 got the OMC type Bucheron carb set up or the Tillotson HS-116A or HS-116B set up

 

[chainmaster]

looks like it,s all original it as the Tillotson HS-116A carb
