Bingo!

Trial fit. Chainsaw, fuel, chain oil, toolbox and hard hat. All done and dusted. For some reason I can't upload the final photo. But it's on Red Square if anyone wants to see it.

Newest addition to the collection, just picked up this Comet saw this morning. Pictures are as-purchased condition. I’ll add some more photos once I’ve had a chance to clean it up and go through it a little.

What they should have done was totally re-design the entire carb but they just kept putting band-aids on them for the entire run. Primer button, check valves, remove screens, ect. The carb is the weak link of these engines

Progress has been slow on this of late as I am trying to sort out my Cortina so it is back on the road for summer. I had a go at annealing the sealing ring, not sure if I got it hot enough with my little blowtorch but fingers crossed. I split the air filter/choke by grinding away the folded-over edge and drilling out the centre rivet, then straightened it out as best I could. I then welded a new lever on the inner piece. welding it back together was a pain, it kept catching the inner so I had to grind the weld off and start again. It ended up looking a bit dog-eared so I wrapped some metal pipe insulation tape around it. I did manage to have a couple of hours on it this afternoon, it now looks like this. next job is to clean out the fuel tank and then it will be a case of seeing if it will actually run. I now seem to be sharing my limited workshop space with one of my O/Hs projects...
