There button on top is plastic and works together with the spring. It seems it loosens enough for exhaust to leak out and melt the button which ruins the release all together. If I don't notice it right away it will back all the way out. I'll be lucky to find it in all the sawdust.

Post a picture of your "melted" decomp and the threads in the cylinder for both the decomp and the carb adapter bolts. Sounds like the cylinder threads themselves may be the problem due to being ham fisted over the years and simply will not tighten any more. You'll need more than Loc-Tite to fix that.

First time I've heard of a decomp valve "melting", but there's a first time for everything!

Can I ask is the piston and cylinder on the TS760 the same as the 075 and 076?

Thank you

 

[kc4sfe]

To my understanding it is but perhaps someone with access to the IPL can confirm this.

 

[Trever]

Yes they are the same (TS760, 075, 076).

I have had them back out on me as well and also had one those the black plastic part of the valve (blew it right off). I blocked of the jug in some of my 75s I have had in the past. I really like these saws alot, but you have to keep check on all nuts and bolts.

Just use blue lock tight every time you take them apart and they are fine.

Family pictures. Every body at attention except for my one 075 which is on the workbench.

A little bit of cad going on the Billy!! Any of the 051's converted? How much for the 090?

 

[William Balaska]

Not for sale. It's much worse than what you see.

Wow that surprises me knowing that you have excellent skills at working on these beautiful saws. I'm sure you have a plan Best of luck with her!!!

 

[William Balaska]

I have two 075's and three 051's. I have done a conversions in the past really no big deal.

 

[William Balaska]

Four out of five of my 1111 series saws are keepers and one is the one I use for cutting and beating on. I might part with them down the road as I always wanted to build a pro street camaro

 

[Rockfarmer]

Im looking for a couple 075, 051 clutch covers with no luck, anyone got any kicking around??

 

[William Balaska]

I'll take a look and let you know.

Your the best! Thanks
