Oh my! I need to learn more! I could put that to use….

It’s a very simple process.

I recall seeing ads for engines like that when I was a kid… steam engines too. One of those and a big erector set was one of my fantasy gifts… I ended up with a smallish erector set and a battery powered motor. Still had fun!

I still have the electric motor that came with the Erector set we had as kids.

They better crack it soon or they will have egg on their faces. Thank you, try the veal.

If you find any shells kicking around please contact the PA. State police and they will scramble over to get the evidence.

Today the rebuilt Husqvarna 350 ran great without any hiccups or no starts. I took down this 19" Ash tree and bucked it all up. I did bring my 550xp along just in case it shat the bed on me again. I was very happy with the way it is running.

I like the truck!

My sentiments exactly.

My friend's son likes the Asin 440 Big Bore I built for him. It is modestly ported and runs fairly well. Since I convinced him to run it on Amsoil Saber at 40:1, he has not had any issues. He previously burned up 2 of them running them on Stihl oil at 50:1.

Looks like he found some nice solid Ash.

I've got the parts to build 3 more of these, but I may use some OEM 046 or 460 cylinders, OEM pistons (which are lighter) and OEM .070 jet carbs.

The two saws that failed did so at the rod bearing. I have replacement cranks (one claims to be OEM quality), OEM 460 pistons (which are lighter than the AM pistons), OEM cylinders (044, 440, 046, 460) and 2 brand new Walbro .070 jet carbs. I also have another cylinder or two like I used on this one. They came with decent porting, as the prototype for them was secretly done by a porter whose name many of you would know (it was not Randy). (He does not want his name disclosed, HL Supply used to sell them, cheap). I did not need to do much more to them to clean them up and a little more port work to make them run pretty good.

I brought 2 MS 660s back to life last year, I may work on these this year. So many projects, so little time!

Just a heads up for dewalt tool owners. Lowes is having a buy certain bare dewalt tools get a fee 6 or 8 amp hour battery with it. I was going to get one of those oscillating cutters, something I've been meaning to get for a while. Guy at lowes said it was on promotional sale, but they didn't have the batteries in stock, so I just ordered it online and chose ship to home.(free shipping.)
Which is a great deal, since the battery is $199.99 by itself. Should have it wednesday or Thursday.

I purchased several of the AM 20V 6 amp hour batteries for the DeWalt tools. They were very inexpensive.

I ordered 4 and got 8! Have had them for several months, and used them a lot up at the cabin and they have been just fine.

My brother purchased some and was not so lucky.

I've been hesitant to buy aftermarket batteries. Seen a lot of bad/mixed reviews over the years of them. It's good to hear someone has had a good experience with them. Since I've been slowly adding to my collection I've found the need for the larger batteries has become a must.
