Bob,

I had used PC-7 years ago to repair a 5hp Briggs engine that the connecting rod broke and in turn cracked the case. After disassembly I replaced the rod, etc. and then on the inside of the case I used PC-7 to repair the crack in the case. Held up quite well for a couple of years for a leaf catcher until I got a different mower. The blower/engine is still in my shop, ready to go..........someday.

Thanks for the teflon offer. But I think I can source some locally. I am thinking that a short #8 or #10 stainless Sheet Metal screw with a teflon 1/8" washer would do the trick on the pot. Just round off the point with a grinder and done.

Cool, if you change your mind just email me your address. I can drill and slice a few washers off if you like. I have one of my small lathes setup with a 3C collet chuck just for working softer materials like teflon rod. I might have some 5/16 too. I'd have to go look.

Well, actually I mostly use it for rounding the ends of stainless dowel pins, but I originally set it up for working with softer materials like teflon rod.

I told him he should stop in here and say hi. He says he's retired now.

I may stop by and see him in the mid later winter. Looking at doing a Caribbean cruise with my wife for our 25th. Probably launch out a port in his home state rather than freeze our tushies off sailing down the eastern seaboard.

Sadly, probably not going to be able to meet up this trip. Its 3hrs drive one way from where our ship is launching to where he lives. Maybe another time.

Hey Jim.

I DO reserve the right to call you "young man"

(Mainly because I'm the only one old enough here to do so)

Welcome back.

Good to hear from you again.

Coincidently, I was driving near the Cross Island Parkway last week on my way to Manhattan and you popped into my mind. I thought I remembered that you said you used to live somewhere nearby.
