Lets hope my packages arrive soon. I have 4 on the way...
One is tungsten electrodes for my tig, another is Orings and a surprise for my torch, another is the rear handle and air box for the s55a, the other is the engine from a 1-70 for my s55a.

Two should be here tonight.

Packages are fun. Kind of like presents:msp_w00t: Unless your wife opens it to see if it's something you didn't tell her about:dizzy:
 
Okay had a win tonight. Got the rear handle for the 55cc Craftsman and put it on tonight. Actually figured out that the throttle cable was slightly binding and causing the carb to not be able to return to idle before I had everything together. Figured out a better way to route the cable so the idle cam was resting on the idle screw like it's supposed to in the pictures I took of it before disassembly. It's a win because I didn't get it all together and running before listening to it race before figuring it out. Only had to loosen the AV screws to reposition the cable:clap:

Got it all back together but too late to test start it and tune it tonight.
 
Yep , lots of them will go out there way to help ! Some real great people on AS !

This is true. Speaking of which has anyone heard anything out of Scooterbum lately. Haven't seen him post in a while and hoping he'd doing okay.

Feels good to get one going don't it !

Canada post has to be the most useless postal service on earth.....

It does feel good to make progress.

Well see if it's running tomorrow:wink2: Fuel it up and give it a shot. I have some other things I want to work on now but it's been a good learning experience. I can honesty say very crappy engineering on a lot of the way things are put together on it esp the choke spring setup. As long as I can tune it and it's running good then I'm happy. Hopefully it won't still be bogging down and dying after the 3rd cut. If so then I guess it's time to look at tank vent.
