Had a recommendation from someone in another thread to post these pictures here. My dad picked up a PM650 at a yard sale for $20-it was clean as a whistle and the gas tank was dry as a fart. I ran it for a while with the 18" bar it came with but I needed something that would handle some bigger wood. I gave Lee at Lil' Red Barn a call and got a bunch of parts including a 24" bar with full chisel full skip chain and a tune up kit. I'm running it on 50:1 (my other saws are both Stihls) 100LL fuel which it seems to like so far. I also have a PM610/Eager Beaver that runs which I might put the old 18" bar on just for some variety. What is the operative difference between these saws since they are apparently both 60cc? Is it just the carb and/or the tuning? All shined up and 24" bar and skip chain fitted:
Some of this week's bucking and splitting. Finally got around to working on some of the locust and cherry that fell during the "Four'Easters" in 2018-this is only about half of it. The trunks are about 20-22" in diameter so the 24" bar really helps. Looking forward to browsing this thread more and hopefully learning the difference between a 610 and a 650 as well as what parts interchange:
Your in New York, you should be in a hot spot of old saw treasure! I highly recommend stopping by small scrap/junk yards ,old farms ,and old saw shops.
Finding old saws sounds a lot like finding a job!! haha
I like people so its pretty easy for me, but with what you got going on you time is pretty much spent. So if you just let people around you know you might get lucky ( work ,church, ect..)
Can you see the manual page?Can someone remind me on the SDC carbs what the deal is with the pump diaphragms? It had gasket, teflon, then rubber diaphragm in that order. The teflon diaphragm only has the valve leaves, not the actual diaphragm part if that makes sense. The black rubber one is complete. How should this go together?
