Yep, you’re probably right about that- it’s probably just as risky to have them take things apart. This one was packaged with bubble wrap but clearly the shipping carrier must have tossed it across the shop or threw it into the delivery truck slamming it against a wall or floor. The dents in the tank match the outer profile of the recoil housing so it must have slammed pretty hard somewhere along the way. It must have flexed the mounting bracket by almost 1/2” for it to make contact with the housing. Irritating
From now on I’m going to specifically request the sellers to remove the gas tanks, air cleaners and exhausts from these engines before shipping. I thought about it after it was already shipped.
Well it looked good just copied and pasted ad. did anyone here get it??
Well, the engine arrived this afternoon. It’s incredibly disappointing to receive what looks to be a brand new engine only for it to get damaged during shipment. The new tank was crushed, man that’s irritating!
Hi JustO&R - sorry about that. I thought you were giving us all a heads up about the saw being for sale. Are the photos of the yellow saw one of your upcoming projects? That one looks in nice condition. It’s cool that it also has the Mono tree sticker on the recoil housing. I can’t seem to find anyone that makes a reproduction decal in the smaller size, the only ones I’ve seen are 3.25” in diameter and would probably work for the chain cover.
I think it’s kind of odd too that they painted everything on some of these tools. I have a Pony Express bicycle engine that is also completely painted.
For th insulator cap would it be possible to wrap a little foil around it and then use heat shrink tubing to make a custom fit cap (then remove the foil of course)?

body filler.
By the way, what brand/color of red paint do you use- that’s a pretty nice match to original O&R?

That’s for sure. A couple tanks came up a few months back, including a vertical one and I hesitated and have been kicking myself ever since.
