So I got a little deeper into the saw and the spark plug wire is crap so I'll need to get a 5mm wire too.

I had to replace the coil wire on my C9,not a big job,but you'll have to pull the whole ignition system apart to do it.(at least I thought that was the easiest way to make sure the wire was threaded in properly) I had to replace the coil as well. I believe I have a stack muffler here with your name on it.

The coil is already apart and inspected, just need the 5mm wire.
Ed if you find a stack I'll buy it.

I bought the coil wire on eBay fairly cheap.Make sure it's a solid core or braided copper wire,don't use a carbon core wire.Yeah,I've got a stack muffler here for you.

Looks like it will need a HeliCoil in one muffle hole.

The lower hole is pretty much gone so I'm going to use JB weld to make a new hole.  |

Rather than JB Weld it,see if you can get a helicoil to stay in a bit further down if there are any threads left at all.The threads go down a bit further than the screw does,so it might be possible to go with a longer screw.Don't drill down any deeper than the boss is already,otherwise you'll be into the combustion chamber.Measure the depth of the hole & compare it to the length of the screw.

This corner is missing.  |

I don't even know if JB Weld can fix that.You might be better off getting a good used cylinder.

A member on AS is a very talented welder and we've traded saws, my Poulans for his Homelites. I'll ask him if he can repair it.

I just remembered about "Blue Demon" brazing.This is where you'll need to use either oxy-acetylene or mapp gas for your heat source,propane won't get hot enough.The metal must be brought to 600*& you use the special brazing rod.The end result is stronger than the original metal,so I don't know if it can be drilled or tapped afterwards.Probably better to have the screw/bolt in place & fill in with the braze,then let cool & turn the screw out.The braze will not adhere to the screw/bolt as it's much harder.Just Google Blue Demon brazing & you should be able to find a video on YouTube about it.

Ed I'm leaving this to a professional! Ryan agreed to welding it for me this Saturday.

It's probably a wise decision that you're leaving it to a pro.
