What a deal!
Hi guys,
Made a trip to Tucson to visit my brother. Walked into the local Hobby Shop and there was a basket full of propellors near the front door, marked half price. I immediately saw two that I could use, and asked if they were all indeed half price. The owner said "I'm so tired of seeing that basket of props sitting there, you can have the whole thing for $7.00!!" We grabbed the basket so fast we almost knocked it off the counter!! A few have been bolted to engines before, but all are in perfect shape. Cool deal huh?
Then I walked into the local Echo dealer. Starting chatting with the repair guy, and he gave me a Homelite weedeater. I took it home and pulled it through and it seemed to have good compression. When my brother got home I told him to pull it through and it started up!! I already have it converted, except for the CH Ignition that's on it's way in the mail.
All in all, a great trip to visit my brother!!
Take care,
