Jonsered Chainsaws

[SawTroll]

.....

I think Saw Troll said in here once that they moved J'red production over to the Partner assembly line in the late 70's....which means the 910 was made on the Partner assembly line. Doesn't matter, there was no Partner influence yet for that model, as it's still purely J'red, warts and all!

Kevin

1979 - so most if not all 910s were made at the Partner factory, as were the 920s, and likely the first 930s.

Okay at the risk of making myself look foolish

I posted some pics a few weeks ago for NOS Jonsereds 621. A few members commented/liked so here is update.
Posted pics of and listed on eBay sold but...

..although it " sold" for 1200 dollars on eBay i had to:

1. Use eBay global shipping program
2. Guess the shipping weight and dimensions

Usually on items like this i just guess for "calculated shipping options" and if i have to dig I into my profits to cover actual versus guessed shipping weight. BUT...the ebay rep I talked to said you cannot change these dimensions when you use this program! Haha. And, what happens when it gets to the facility and the weight is wrong? Nobody knows! haha.

Although i SERIOUSLY dicked up a nice eBay
sale (first intl shipment for me), not that bad because can always cancel order and have buyer purchase again with correct shipping weight. So i guess it really isn't sold yet...anyways do you guys think I gouged this guy or what? I am willing to admit I really get the most money I can for an eBay sale, in my mind the jonsered 621 NOS its worth all that. Opinions?

There are/were J'red saws recent on ebay that were used saws rebuilt with NOS parts. So technically, they weren't like yours and didn't have the provenance yours does. That being said, the prices being thrown around are outrageous and could only happen on a place like ebay, if at all. Most of us here are always on the look-out for deals...none of these prices are 'deals'. As we said before, it's worth whatever you can get for it.

Cracks in the 111S for $850 and $375 for a mongrel 80 sold for 'parts'...nah, I'll pass too...lol!

Stumbled into this the other day. I suppose some of ya know these guys. In the first part of the vid(before they go to the woods), are fantastic factoids about the 900 series. I wish I had time to diddle around like that!

Anyway, if you haven't seen this and are interested in the 900 series;

Handle AV's on the bottom change a lot after the 910....even went to a Partner type, integral wrap handle system. When I get my 910 back together....I'll take some pics of that 910 AV system with a West Coast full wrap handle. There's a steel post that's anchored and pokes through the wrap handle so that it limits how much travel can be in the wrap handle. I'm thinkin' that a J'red engineer's kid came up with that while playing with Legos. Nobody in this vid said anything about a rev limiter in the module, just the Tilly governor that has an easy, well known defeat trick. Personally, probably because I'm used to working in the woods, I don't think these saws should be allowed to wrap anymore than 12 grand....OE parts are too rare and the aftermarket doesn't always supply pistons & jugs. Have some reservations about GOLF et al.

Most people curse those Tilly governors but I can't ever think of one failure in all the loggin' saws I had with 'em. Like everything else in a carb, they have to stay clean.

Kevin

So are all 920 Tilly carbs rpm limiting? Or, just some?
If just some - then how do you spot the difference?

There is a brass, slotted screw on the side of the carb...that the rpm limiter. Some Tilly HS carbs have them, some don't. I pulled one off an 80/90 once...the only one I ever saw on that model. Kind of a deluxe carb too...had some Teflon bushings not on the the other 80/90 saw carbs I have. Some talk about a rpm limiter in the modules on the later 900 series, but I haven't been able to verify that so far.

Let me know if ya want a pic of a HS with the 'governor', as it's called

Nice clear, Tilly HS IPL. The governor is NLA, BTW. A lot of the older HS carbs are NLA from them, as well. I don't remember the full Tilly story, but we have plants in Kansas, Ohio and there used to be a plant in Ireland.

Kevin

 

[Real1shepherd]

Ok Kev......I think you aren't seeing the difference because in the vid you can't see the upper transfers in the 930 cyl because the piston is up in the bore blocking your view of them....go to 9:36 min on the vid.....he is showing you the 920 and 930 cyls side by side.....he's showing the differences in the lower transfers........the cyls are identical except for the lower transfers......notice the piston in the bore on the 930 but not on the 920....that's why it looks to be open port to you......I assure you it isn't......there is another upper transfer you can't see.....looks just like the 920.....

You're absolutely correct, Robin.....I went back to that place in the vid and the piston is indeed blocking my view of the 930 jug upper tranfers. Thanks for the explanation.

Yup - my 920 has it - choke side right by the choke shaft. Thanks for clarifying.

NICE! Thanks for posting

I find it hard to believe that J'red(and Husky) would put a governor on the carb and a rpm limiter in the module. But then I'm new to the 900 series and only used one(910) for a day loggin' back when they were new. When I get this 910 back together, it's going against everything I have near its cc range. My memory says the 910 wasn't anything remarkable over the 80 I was using back then for limbing...just lighter. I was horrified at the use of plastic back then on the 910, but no big deal now in hindsight.....lol

He got full price on that one..........makes me feel a little better about what I paid........lol..

Wow...just wow. Obviously ebay is the place to dump a less than pristine 111S for $800. But...that IS a highly collectable J'red....probably the most collectable model at this time.....at least I can't think of anything in their old line that would bring that kinda money in that shape.

The buyer will most probably never find a pristine top cover without buying a donor saw. A solid, nice running Husky 2100 will bring that on occasion as well. I can find those still around though....the 111S is a phantom.

[taplinhill]

I think that 111 got a little more money just because of the one piece cover. A 110 would probably bring more just for the "when was the last time you saw one" factor. As for that 621, I bet it went to Europe. They pay almost double for new saws, so why not pay double for NOS ones?

 

[Real1shepherd]

Good point...it's true that they pay really high for new saws in Europe. And since it was NOS 621, a high price over there doesn't have the shock factor it does here. I would think the crack in the cover on that 111S would have detracted from the high price, but I was wrong.

Kevin

 

[Cantdog]

Finally dropped the $$$ for a NOS set of 111S inner dogs today...from sawagain.com...couldn't find them anywhere else. Spendy but she definitely needs them...son-of-a-gun to hold back from the log in a cut......no dents in the muffler and wanna keep it that way if I can......so well worth the price...I guess....

I don't think the 9xx coils are limited, are they?
