Have you ever seen one of these??
I found this little Italian made top handle saw at an auction today.
It's an ALPINA A-40 with 14" bar and good chain, got it for $20.. It felt like it had good compression and looked like it was hardly used. Then I got it home checked and compression 165 psi, checked for spark was good. Dumped the gas and filled up with fresh, five pulls and it fired up worked the choke and kept it running, then slid it off and cleared it out. I can't believe it the thing runs and oils like a top.
I also picked up this really cool 3 gallon Justrite drain/catch can for $14.. It that has a fine mesh screen in the top, perfect for holding parts in it while spraying off with carb clean or brake clean.
I never knew these Alpina chainsaw's existed. It's covered in the chainsaw manual and I also found it on CSCC site.
Sounds like a pretty good saw, chrome cylinder, infamous dual ring piston, it may be electronic ignition or have points, depending on DOM.........................454
