Jonsered 66e

I'm more familiar with the older J'reds.
Having said that, the serial numbers I'm aware of for the 66E include: 1506413 and 1507504. If it's between these it should be a 66E. Latest 49sp I'm aware of is 1459065 and earliest 70E I know of is 1511251, so it should be somewhere in between these two, assuming the 49sp and 70E weren't produced at the same time as the 66E. There are several folks more knowledgeable on this generation of Jonsereds that will likely chime in.

I believe the 70e and 66e were made at the same time. Sawtroll once told me that the only way to tell a 66e from an early 70e was to pull the muffler. You can either measure the bore or else I think the 66 had to rings and the 70e had one ring. A lot of 66e's were rebuilt with 70e piston and cylinders turning them into 70e's. How is the plastic fan on the flywheel? Does it have spark? The contacts under the recoil cover can cause no spark even if they look good. I hit mine with a little Emory cloth to restore spark. Great old saws!

All true...but there is only one other way that I know of to tell a 66E from a 70E without pulling the muffler.....the 66E has one more cooling fin on the cyl. than the 70E......I know it doesn't sound like much but it makes the distance between fins much closer together than the 70E. The cooling fins are spaced more on the order of the 52/52E, 621 and 80/90 whereas the 70E spacing is more like the 49SP and all later saws. No real need to measure the bore if you remove the muffler as the two ring piston will give the 66E away.
I have the serial #now 694753 What does that tell you?
Post some pics of the saw. We can't tell anything for sure with your serial number.
As stated above the serial numbers on these jonsereds don't tell us anything. The best we can do is have you post some pics of the saw. Some overall sots of the saw and a good shot of the cooling fins on the cylinder will tell Cantdog if is a 70e or a 66e.

Looks like a model 52 or 52E. Find the letter that's cast into the side just in front of serial number tag, then use this chart.
Nice! Haven't seen that before!

Nope......not a 66E or 70E.....what you have is a 52 or 52E......only way to find the difference besides pulling the flywheel is to remove the recoil cover and post a pic of the spark coil that is inside...then I can tell you which it is......52 has a points ign...52E has electronic.....coils are different.
Had the recoil cover off while checking it out and it has an electronic coil. Guess that answers the question on what it it. Thanks for all the help.
