ID this old Stihl saw

[John Lyngdal]

A friend of mine from France bought this saw locally for $30 and want's me to get it running on my next visit.
That said, I don't even recognize the model it's clearly pre-0xx vintage.

It looks a lot like an 08s.

I think so too.

I'm guessing that this saw uses points in the ignition system. Is that correct?

Yes, points. Wait until you see how the governor works...

IPL may be of some assistance.

Thanks Mark. I'll send the file his way.
If you happen to find a service manual for the saw in your trove, please let me know.
