Help Support Arborist Forum:
A little paint would clean it up. Not new but cleaner. I appears to have the orginal clutch sprocket and nylon chain sliders. I have a new rim and drum for it with a bar and chain. It appears it needs a piston ring but I’ll spuirt some 2t in the cylinder first it could be bone dry. I had a saw before like that the compression increased the more we ran it, stuck ring? I wish we had a listing on the pre 1970’s huskys, this is one of the oldest 60 cc saws I seen so far.
When was the first Husqvarna saws imported to the USA?

A customer gave me this saw today. I believe it’s from the early 70’s. All metal, no avp, manual oiler, on board chain sharpener, no chain brake, case included. He said he hadn’t used it in over 20 years. I’ll see if I can get it running. Heck, I’d pay $150.00 to our local small engine repair to get this going just for the history and novelty of it!

I am assembling an AH47 top end and have noticed that the piston does not have locating pins and I can’t remember the original orientation when I took it apart. Was wondering where to put the ring gap. Possibly offset the rings so that one is open to front of saw one is open opposite side of piston due to the two possible exhaust openings on the cylinder……?
Any help is appreciated!

No locating pins means the ports are round holes so no chance of hooking a ring.
Some guys put the gaps 180 deg from each other. Put them where you want. any position will work.
Thanks Tim. Yes they are round ports.

Little update on the Wright Super Rebel that I recently picked up.
I took the starter cover off, and after turning the flywheel by hand I'm happy to report that the engine seems to be in great condition. Lots of compression, and the massive looking domed piston looks pristine with no obvious wear marks.
As for the starter itself, I'm a bit stumped. Never had to deal with one of these mechanisms before, so I need to spend some time and learn about them I suppose.
Lots of fine metal dust in the cup and on the mechanism itself. Nothing seems to move on it when you pull the cord. Any advice here?

Here is an disassembled view an an illustrated exploded view.
Another view on the FM starters. These don't like oil. Clean it all off, especially on the friction washers, clutch disks in the pic. Brake cleaner works well.
Can someone have a look at their AH47 blower housing and confirm if there is supposed to be a washer/spacer between the blower base and the crankcase.
It seems like the starter is out of alignment without the washer placed at the two bottom screws.
Possibly something else is slightly out of place in the starter though.

l have lots of Oem Tilly HL Diaphram and gaskets if you have not found some. Were are you located here in Ontario?
Located in Ottawa. I’m still looking at a kit. I’ll send you a PM. Thanks
Don't see these very often -- if ever. Pretty cool. Complete/Compression/No Fire. 'Bout 40 minutes away. A little steep for me these days at $225/OBO.
I am looking for a few presets for Carlton D3 (1/2" pitch, .063 gauge) chain. I have lots of McCulloch, Atkins, and Oregon presets but the rivet diameter is smaller on the Carlton. Any help would be appreciated.

https://www.arboristsite.com/threads/old-vintage-saws-everywhere-i-looked.355151/page-3#post-7608395I posted some saws I picked up today into the above thread or just look up "Old Vintage Saws Everwhere I looked" and thought I'd post a link here in case you haven't seen the old stuff. After looking through this thread I was happy to learn that the Pioneer I got might be a 1955 IEL and was stated as "easy to work on"
. I need alot of easy to work on....

Your saw and post is how I even knew to call it a 1955 IEL....other than Pioneer I know nothing about it. The IEL emblem wasn't obvious to me until after I read your original post when I got home.
I have the same saw I picked up 2yrs ago.
