Kinda the reason the more modern saws have the fuel tank back near the handle and made of plastic.

I wonder if I could get a bar like that on my Super 2?

New dedicated saw workbench I have been working on.
If any of you have seen mine I hope you forgot what it looks like...

Ok I soaked it in acetone and put a new carb kit in and it's still flooding like crazy. Looks to be a issue with the carb itself to me. Unless the lever is set wrong. Needle not seating? A port still plugged? Damage to the carb? After I put the kit in dry it fire and ran for a couple secs till it flooded again.
Any ideas?

When I was waiting for parts to come for the Titans, I worked
on this saw. I got this saw a few weeks ago. It looked like a pig pen.
I was going to repaint the whole thing, but after cleaning it up it did not look to bad.
I just painted the the top cover and rear handle and put decals on it.

Metering lever height set wrong.................or possibly you have the metering chamber gasket and diaphragm order wrong. Gasket should go on first, followed by the diaphragm. Other possiblility is that the needle isn't seating right with the seat (either grit holding it open, or the seat is damaged). With the carb all assembled, put a piece of fuel line on the inlet barb and presurize it with your mouth (or with a low pressure pump and about 5 pounds of air). Should hold. Is your carb a Walbro or a Zama (can't remember if you stated..........and that saw could have either)...

Does this conrod look alright to you guys???
This came to me in a 240. The crank would only turn through a range of about 120 degrees.............and the piston stayed in one spot. All the rolllers are GONE. Cylinder and piston look to be just about undamaged (just some carbon staining). Rings look OK. The rod is discolored (blue) from a point about midway down the beam and all the way through what's left of the big end. Small end (and bearing) is fine. I'm going to scare up another crank/rod assembly and throw this bugger back together.

Yeah, that is the only clean spot in the garage right now. Everything else cleared out for the photo. Still have to get my chain grinder and spinner/breaker mounted.
Hey! I resemble that comment! :hmm3grin2orange:
Wish I had AC in there. That big metal box can get a little hot in the summer. Thought about adding a gable exhaust fan to help pull the hot air out.
The idea is to only use the bench for saws. We'll see if it works out that way.
Built some shelves for the saws and parts too. I'll have to post some pics of that later.

All I can say is WOW! Those series of saws don't seem to exist around here. Perfect job restoring it
The evidence of light wear you left on it really makes it attractive as far as I'm concerned. What do you use on your bar to make it look so nice?
It's a tillosten. The needle hads a Bit of rubber on the end which is supposed to make the seal? Don't remember seeing a gasket for the needle to seat against. I haven't popped out the plugs to clean under them. That's my next step I think.
