Quick thoughts, working on the Homelite 350 and want your thoughts on the piston. Normal wear, light scoring? First pic intake, second exhaust.

Id run it if it were mine

 

[Kensie1988]

Ignore me then, I haven't seen enough scoring to know any better lol

I thought it was light scoring also but just wanted to see if anyone though it was bad. Going to run it like is. Passed pressure and vac test and almost back together. Something odd that I have never seen before was the washers on the handlebars were all cracked. While I was taking it apart one completely disintegrated and the rest were very close to the same condition.

Kensie, I see the profile pic changed once again. When are we going to see a vid of the 450 running?

Well gentlemen the day has arrived and sooner than expected. I didn't realized just how BIG the 076 is lol. All the way from Hungary to Texas.

Not much plastic in those old boys I suppose

Well the muffler is messed up right now, I stripped one of the cylinder bolt holes out using a 1/4" long screw instead of a 5/8", that was the only one I could find, now I'm just unsure what I should do.

No sir it is solid. Needs to get some new emblems hopefully soon. Onward to grins and giggles

It's not vintage or a chainsaw but I picked up a stihl HT130 pole saw. Unfortunately the motor is locked up for the price of free I can't complain

Any suggestions on how I should fix the stripped muffler hole?

 

[Boomer 87]

Heli coil

 

[Boomer 87]

Done a few that way

 

[Kensie1988]

Do they work well?

 

[Boomer 87]

Yes

 

[Kensie1988]

I guess I will be doing that then

 

[Boomer 87]

Figure out your size screws, probly 10 or 12 -24 then get the set it comes with drill bit, tap, inserts, and insert installer

Drill it and drop in a coil or
Re-tap it larger...
