Chainsaw Repair

Well, I built my 50Magnum last night using the 490 top end. Kinda sorta. I'll try to get some pics posted during the week.

The 50 bottom I had turned out to be unuseable, so I went with a 55Rancher chassis that I had and moved the 50's externals over to get the earlier look. I bagged the idea of using the 50's choke and filter set up, as the 55's was right there on the bench. Decided to just modify the gray top to clear the choke lever and air filter. Going to give it a run today and see what she does.

Also did a little research at the store on all of these different cylinders yesterday morning. It seems that I may have gotten the last, or at least one of the last closed port 55 cylinders from Husky a couple weeks ago. (it's going on a cosmetically perfect 55 I have.) I entered the same part number into web order and it got superceded up to the open port 55 set. So, we may have seen the last of them.
