Will a 900 series starter assembly fit a 5-20, or vise versa?
Thanks guys!
900 series meaning 990 909 995 models.

Remember the 900 series has the 3 gear trans, so it cranks over counter-clockwise if facing the starter side. That's why the direct drive and gear drive versions of the 900s use the same starter parts. Saws like the 5-20 crank over clockwise (facing the starter). I'm sure the outer aluminum hub is reversed on these compared to the 900 series hub. Haven't looked carefully at the brass inner piece, but if it has any angled channels for those balls to move of grab, they may well be reversed as well. May want to check the part number to be 100% sure.

Good catch Dan, I forget how simple the original gear-drives were. The only weak spot is that thin end of the crank, on the flywheel side. There is a kid that has a pristine 7-21, he got all enthused, yanked on the flywheel too much and bent the shaft, the vibe level is awesome.

Well, with the crankcase/fuel tank and clutch cover from Little Possum and misc. from the 'White Death' saw from ChainsawmanXX we got the project back together.

Almost killed it again. This time I neglected to seal the space around the fuel line entrance to the carb. box. When I cut a 14" walnut cookie this morning a bunch of wood chips/sawdust was sucked into the enging. Had to pull the carb and reed and use a large plastic straw with my shop vac to clean out the engine. Sprayed it full of WD-40 and vacumed that out for a 'rinse'.
On the plus side, he pumps 155psi and drags a 16" bar thru the walnut with reasonable haste.
I think a 20" bar is workable.

P.S I got that package today, thanks! threw it on the saw and she starts up, need a new gas line though.
Looks like I will be joining you fellers here. Aaron shamed me into buying a 909D which I will be picking up on Monday. I'm sure I will have lots of questions.

Nice. That thing is a beast.
When you get to it, you may find that the carb. low speed jet will work at 1 1/8-1 1/4 turns and the high at 1 1/8.

Nice Ric! I'd LOVE to have a 9-series ashtray like that. Methinks Randy speaks of the stamped starter cover used on these saws. Usually long gone (neither my EZ or 900D have 'em). Wendell's saw still has it. Randy has one he uses to ash his Havatampa's in. Anybody see the overpriced Homelite hardhat on feebay?
