What a nice machine and very original .

As much as I would of liked to weld the big pipe into the frame to make it all very strong, I wouldn't be able to get the transfer box out if I did! So I have made up some curved mounts which you will see in the next update.. But while I was at it I thought it maight be an idea to bolt a few bits in place to check everything still fitted.. With a bit of trimming and a lot of strengthening the bearing block can be made to fit flush on to the n/s foot rest which keeps things neat and tidy, but the footrest will need a lot of extra strength added. I did at one point think I would have to widen the foot rests as the chain, sprocket and bearing would take up so much space.. But with the bearing mounted flush the chain and sprocket hardly poke through at all, also the 90 degree mount only takes an inch or so foot space away from a bit of the footrest that doen't feel a natural place to put your foot anyway.. So no widening needed, just a bit of extra mesh to go over the chain.. Oh, I do have some much better looking mesh to replace the rather tatty looking mesh thats fitted already, A view of the back.. The chain needs to lose a link and a half and there is plenty of space to put a chain tensioner. Good news with the o/s footrest as well.. The drive shaft that goes to the front now takes up so little space (much closer to the engine etc) that all I need to do is put a cover over it so it doesn't try and grab my boot laces as it spins.. Plenty of space to mount the barke pedal as well And that is where I have got to on this build as of yesterday.... We shall see what progress Thurs/Friday brings as I want to spend next Mon/Tuesday having a play with Project Wheel-Vo

Mad scientist eh?? Not the first time I've been called that No more progress yet, but I do plan to get a bit more into it next week..

Would love to see the pictures. My buddy has a twin Cylinder Echo EVL, they are quite collectible, but the magneto failures make most of them unusable for fear of losing a NLA magneto/coil. I've used one they sound nice, but they really don't cut better than a Mac or Stihl of the same size and vintage. Other than the little Remington, I stick with Homelites of the 1964-1979 vintage. I bought my first chainsaw a little over a year ago, so I'm really pretty new to these two stroke engines

Another science project from our mad scientist. Looking forward to seeing this one come to be.
