    At least it didn't blow up in all that heat

    Thanks! Not seeing much in the way of used ones showing up. Probably they don't get used very much.

    Your cautionary is well noted though, I'd be bummed to get the thing together again and it wasn't meant to be.

    At least it didn't blow up in all that heat

    I don't really know how to judge the temperature, but when the water from the hydrant hose I was using hit the burning saw, the fume ignited gasoline shot out of the tank like a fireball on the fourth of July.

    What do you think, I need to replace some gaskets? :|: I finally got around to assessing the damage to the MS880 in the shop fire. Crank, cylinder and piston, carb, and maybe the clutch are still good. Ignition might work, but a little charred. Finding a case and all else would create the...
