Hello,
Got the saw from my grandfather thus has some emotional value.
I have an equal powered saw but lighter, it is juist easy to have 16" and 20" bar and not have to change bars and chain when needed (so absolutely no reason to must have this saw).
It is fun trying to repair and learn your own stuff and I don't care to spent time on it or occasional failure.
I tuned the saw in big wood, it ran great but died shortly after.
What's your opinion about:
Scratch, it does not look deep (I know it's not that good).
The saw has a lot of compression, very hard to pull over when tired at the end of the day.
Is it normal to have this wear here on the flywheel:
The worm gear from the oiler is also molten (but is still pumping oil as it should).
Does this give me the false compression feeling? Should be replaced anyway.
See the choke axis, it is worn out from vibrations, so probably some air can leak in here (but won't affect the A/F ratio).
I am not sure if the ignition does not go bad once hot, don't like the tape on the bottom so need to check that.
Improvised pressure test with bicycle valve and compressor looks okay
I repaired this crankcase seal in the past, it went to the inside and leaked some air on the outer ring.
Is in place with heat resistant sealant. (yes could replace it)
