It's the "picking of nits" that helps us know what the heck we are going on about.........it's hard to believe that less than three years ago I knew barely enough about saws to cut with one.
For real!?! You are doing good man!

Well.......I did take two years of schooling to be a mechanic....and a couple of small engine courses......plus I spent many years drag racing and building engines.
But saws were new to me....

I ain't built up the guts nor the tools to do any porting yet. Muffler mods, crude ones, so far. I got a used dremel but it is a battery job and no workee
Guess..guess I'd really just like to *see* some of the work with my own peepers first. Pics ain't doing it well enough for me so far. I got the basic theory OK, let 'er BREATHE AND FLOW, but...ehhh. I've done a few car engines, that's it. The custom work was hauled off to the speed shop, except I did my own balancing with an air grinder and some scales, that worked OK, just matched the lightest rod and piston.
Are new sharp like good files good enough to start porting with, or is it just too much, really should use a rotary tool?

I've got a question for you fellers. I had my Pioneer P-50 powder coated but forgot all about the screw heads. What would you guys do? Paint, send em for powder, use new screws??????
Not me Carl, the P series are main interest in the Pioneers.
Randy, I'd use new if possible. The P50 used plain un-colored / un-painted screws. Some of the newer Pioneer/Partners and Poulan branded Pioneers used black screws. Later models used black hex head on the starter cover.
If you can't find certain ones, a bench grinder with a wire wheel and a pair of pliers makes them look pretty darn good.

It must be the Crocs Randy. When yer feet can breath, your mind is free to do great things........even if they DO make you look like a dork...
Af for the screws, I suggest you wire wheel the buggers and hit 'em up with one of the Eastwood fastener refinishing processes. Eastwood sells auto restoration supplies. Be forewarned that RandyMac will make fun of you as a 'typical Homelite nut' for replating saw fasteners. He's done it before...
Ed that's a SWEET looking Homelite 750 you have there. You've hit my jealous button once again my friend...

E.....gads. More and more like the corvette forum.
Next it will be numbers matching and build sheets and NCRS (National Chainsaw Restorers Soc.) judging.
Block stamps on the Macs. will be scruitinized for fakes.

Nah, we don't need none of that bs. If you think my 790 has too ugly of a brushed on paint job and don't like the small runs on the underside of the fuel tank, well, suck it. Concourse restos are only for the truly worthy like some ultra rare 30's car.
BTW, you would've loved to talk to the guy that I bought the 250 from... he has a nearly all original 1969 Stingray convertible with the factory side pipes. I don't know what engine it has, but if it's a 427, he's sitting on buku bucks.

I greatly prefer the 1963-1967 Stingray over the C3....
Me too, I had a 66 427-425 roadster.
What a fun car to drive. But don't get
the rear tires loose. You'll be all of the road.

Okay... time to ask. Why the heck did you sell that thing? You'd have trouble getting me to sell it if I owned one...

I've had too many hot rods to name them all. The one I should have kept was a '75 Chevy Luv. It had a 383 stroker, tubbed with a 9" Ford rear end. It was a nice ride, I traded a '56 210 sedan for the paint job.
Does anyone have a flywheel that'll fit an XL-901?
