This morning I replaced the brake band on a husky 450 and started replacing the brake handle on my ms391 but found I need more parts deeper in the saw. Only a pin for the spring/lever behind the brake linkage but a PITA as I'm not near the dealership anytime soon
 

L and s engineers get it to you next day almost always and are very cheap

Not sure if that's the right pin

Found a decent condition 10mm Stihl 044 not long ago. I was going to flip it until I ran it. This thing, completely standard, pulled a 24" bar buried in oak very strongly. And far as I can tell, these aren't as sought after in Europe as much as stateside. So, I decided to keep it. I've outfitted it with the spikes I am more used to since it just didn't have the purchase I needed when felling. Aftermarket clutch cover looks legit..er...

About to put the timing a few degrees forwards. The original baffle is still in the muffler(and can be seen in the photo). That will go and I'll increase the exhaust exit there. I find that the closer the muffle exit is to the cylinder port exit, the more beneficial it is to performance. Even so, she wears a dual port front end just to be safe. Compression is 170+ psi. I don't intend to increase it any. As it is with the muffler mods and a slight timing increase, she'll run circles around any other stock 70cc. Not too bad for a couple hundred Euro.

On my bench last week was a 346xp that has sat with fuel in it on someone elses bench for a year or two! Carb went through the ultrasonic cleaner 3 times and fitted carb kit in Monday. She runs sweet as ever now, saved the customer £130 for a new carb (yes I work for a dealer!)

I get a variety of saws on my bench and here's a nice easy one to start the day. Little ms150t. Sheared flywheel key. 26624d79e9cfbb7424616b6ba7f57a0d.jpg1bcd0b1777f64397a56704cbea5315c2.jpg

A rather expensive flywheel key.
