check in the 051, 075, 076 thread. I wonder if the larger p&c can be swapped to the 51 as they are the same horizontal platform.
no longer on my bench... but was! broken airplane stand. part of my ranch diorama up at ranch... got knocked off and broke. airplane is an aluminum twin-engine. taking off and in a climbing, shallow turn. being pot metal, strength would be key to stand's new repaired utility! so i drilled, then enlarged 2 holes in each side. made steel shanks. JB. and designed so shanks would self-align and break lines will refit perfectly. a small about of the JB beaded up along broken line and will remain... sorta like a weld bead. now assembled repaired unit 'tinks' with wrench just like a tuning fork! repair is solid, strong and 2 pcs act once again... as a single cast piece! ~

Deep cleaned the MS440 last in a line of cleaning and sharpening. She may be old but she puts out like a race horse.
Swapped on a 24” bar and chain, new dual outlet muffler and now she’s ready to rock.

On my bench right now is a Homelite Super XL that had a vac/pressure leak which I found out was loose nuts on the cylinder. While working on it I found a leak in the carburetor also. The carb leak is in the fuel pump (upper) side and the fuel is coming from a vent hole in the plate where the fuel enters the carb which apparently had the wrong gasket on it. I was wondering why Walbro made the SDC carburetor with a hole in the upper cap and gaskets that could easily be put on mistakenly, causing a fuel leak. Apparently they made a plate that doesn't have a vent hole in it for the other gasket.
Today's teardowns...
355t, 271t
Both need new cases. 355 is brand new, lol. $60 on ebay for a case, done.
The 271 will become a parts saw...thrown...yes, not dropped...from a tree

Got a few things checked off today. Winterized 2 campers, put the picnic tables in the shed for winter and P/V test the 460 Husky. She passed both so parts will be ordered tonight.
Here are the plugs I used for the intake side of things. Nice selection of them I have used for many projects...
And now this....... the 460 on the road to recovery.
And finally, all done and tuned. Will run it in some wood tomorrow for final testing.
Re assembly time for 2 355t Echos. I didn't notice the new cases didn't come with the pressed in studs, sigh...ordering them
well…stupid me…the studs are self tap screw in and I didn’t pull them off the old case, crap…

Update on the problem child 3120XP. Husqvarna sent a new power head, apparently didn’t wanna cover a complete tear down and crankshaft on the old one. Made a few ripping cuts in a big piece of oak out back at the shop. Performed great even with the 44” bar and standard full chisel chain. Customer is happy.

Father in laws 550xp on the bench for a cleaning and his 51 to get barred up for the season 
Got four more in, Stihl 028, MS271, 025 and a Jonsered, don't know the model of it and don't know what's wrong with them other than the 025 which needs a little bit of everything.
