Might try again to get the connection ends for the screw better. IDK They do go quicker once you do a couple and don't drop the roller bearings! I use the magnet of the flywheel to find them! LOL Also use it to hold them so they don't escape by accident. That flashing is thin enough to cut with the blade type paper cutter to keep the edge straight and perfect the entire length. The paper cutter was bought for accurately cutting that thin spring steel sheet for making those tiny carb springs. ( Of which I need to make more of now) Works well for some gaskets and other stuff too when you want or need a nice straight cut. The flashing could also be cut with a straight edge and a razor knife to score it then bend it to break it off but the edges don't come out quite as clean.

Wallfish 698 #27 Posted January 27 TT 400. No where near as common as the 300 or 350 are. Pulled this one out to copy the base for the earlier 300 but now it's going to be the next one up for a rebuild too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wallfish 698 #29 Posted February 8 Well here's another one rebuilt. Used the so called "unserviceable" shaft that was serviced in the other thread about changing the shaft. And the muffler from the muffler bluing thread. Recoils and housings will need to wait as I have 2 or 3 that need paint and new decals. Maybe in the spring.

I'm thinking solder on new pieces for springs on those. Maybe cut some thin strips of copper sheet metal for the springs. Did you make air baffles before? Thinking about giving that a shot too but it's going to be difficult to get them to look original or somewhat close. Wondering if I can make some kind of a mold out of pipe and steel to press them with a hydraulic jack or hammer it hard together. IDK. Another crazy experiment that sucks up time but the challenge of it is most of the fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
