Chainsaw Repair

derailed with some other things.  original electric motor was throwing sparks.  mounted a too small spare motor to turn the armature down.

also managed to break both brushes.  after the third time dressing the brushes, putting the motor back together, etc.....and cleaning carbon dust off the commutator, too much thinking juice helped the blunder of not compressing the springs on the brushes, before placing the end cover on.  oh well.

but, did get a handlebar mount made using the small motor.
looks like i can make an adapter block to fit a short straight pipe off my strunk saw.
oiler is a no-go.

went to two hardware stores today to find longer carb mounting bolts.  the dang things are metric.  m5 0.8 thread.
could not find them any longer than the stock 2"  (50mm) length.  need a couple of 2-1/2 inch and 3 inch long.  will check another place tomorrow.  if i have to, will weld a couple together.  no-one so far around here sells metric threaded rod.

no hurry on my end.  but curiosity has got the best of me.
