Husqvarna 50 special?

[peatff]

Clean the aluminium transfer off it with some acid before you say it's rough, that should clean up a lot better with some 240 and light oil after the transfer is dissolved.

You need to be careful using the bigger cylinder as the crankcase opening on the early 50 is too small to take the skirt of the bigger cylinder.

Thats a easy one. I wont use acid anymore. 

 

My 3 step plan and 3 is a fresh crosshatching.  Not needed. But I feel it helped in my racesaw rebuild so I do it in work saws now too.

 

Remove with flapper, check by hand with emery clothe.  Crosshatch.  #3 not needed like I said.

Thanks guys. I’ll try polishing it up and see what happens- nothing ventured nothing gained!!

 

For anyone interested, I came across this page: it has parts lists for many years of 50s and more, hope it might come in handy to someone.
