No biggy I though it was funny. :msp_thumbup:
Had to open up the shop to sell a $15 MacCat to a kid ( old enuf to drive ) that wanted to tear it apart and see what made it tick and try to put it on a bicycle,ran too ! no b&c tho..
so i turned on the heat and sawa S25cva looking for attention..had force fed it a couple weeks ago and it fired..
I seen some attention being paid to these lately so i investigated..
Yup,the usuall,bad fuel line..fixed that..darn !, now a carb kit so apart and in the USC while i tried to starighten out some of the mess the shop is always in
on/off switch gone,need to put one in,good time while i had the flywheel off to replace fuel line,pull the coil to make room and no prob.
Saw has a walbro "wa" carb on it..several differances from the "wt" carb..
have to remember on the "wt" carb the "low" needle is "L-onger".. on the "wa" the longer needle is the hi speed side..I also hate it when somebody rebuilds one and puts a WT fuel pump in the WA !! they are diff also..and setting the metering lever is differant as the walbro tool dont really work..no welch plug set down on the WA,has a cover and a gasket that sits above the carb floor on one side to cover the low speed holes. so the tool rocks and is inaccurate..
So,fuel line in,carb rebuilt,found the clutch stuck..actually the bearing froze..off that came and a parts saw donated a bearing,greased up well on it went..
Now i think,,hhmmm.. if this runs i have to check the oiler ?? to heck with it !! off comes the clutch !! i dont want to put it all together then have to take it apart to work on the oiler so off comes the clutch !! dont want that thing running loose and have to chase tracks thru the snow trying to find pieces like LAST time
fill it with mix ans thinned bar oil and outside into the cold cruel world we go with my squirt can of mix..i aint one for pullon
OFF it fires !! set the idle and adjust the hi and lo and we are happy..
clutch back on,b&c on and back out into the cold for fine tuning.. happy with how it turned out i drained the fuel and ran it dry for storage.
back in the shop to put it next to another little green one i did a couple years ago i noticed IT was also a CVA,didnt know it was and now i have two !
noticed the first one has a hand guard on it,is that original ?? the new one dont have it..
heres a pic..the older one in back is unrestored,hardly a scratch on it,maybe none.
the new one is in front and still in pretty fair shape..
make a nice pair i think.
Nice pair there Ron. I got a pair also but one is Dayton orange. Well I do have one more way back in the project line to do someday.
What did you find when you pulled the clutch to check the oiler?
I think you were trying to say flywheel. :msp_laugh:
The auto oiler is under a cover with 4 screw in it under the clutch. It is a impulse driven oiler, that works on pressure and vacumme pulse's from the crank case.
There are 2 non repariable check valves built into the pump body and it uses a diaphragm in the pump.
Pretty simple and reliable actually and they really put out the oil well.
If Steve can't supply that manual, let me know.

I think mine is the first one that I have ever seen in person. I did notice that my Dayton 5200 takes a smaller spark plug then the 4900.
Picked it up this morning. Gotta get it shipped now. Good looking saw under 30 years of never being cleaned
I don't think so, they should use the same plug. I will double check though.
Your a good man Rick, I don't care what the rest of em say about you. :biggrin:
Was it the one that was just on ebay?
They cancelled mine and 3 other bids to end the auction early. :bang:

got 3 saws running tonite!
got 3 projectsaws done tonite the one 2.1 craftsman thats was giving me such a hard time i took it all apartso i could get at it the other day replaced the o-ring and used a permatex gasket sealer i used the other day on my trucks water pump grey stuff seals real well!!! let her sit for a few days fired her up pumped the oil boom she was spurtin!!! and the then the auto oiler kicked it also!!!
swawaped out point and did fuel lines on one i got from joe25da she purrs nice old blue 2.3!!!
then i found all my parts to that 3.7 clutch man that took alot of searching!!! im stubborn! put it all back together yanked out the muff screen tuned the carb im still gonna rebuild it but she fired up and after running awhile runs pretty good! i may see if i can find a simple way to modd the muff on it seems like it has alot of power as is but i keep hearing about how it makes a big difference! just gotta find a no weld method!!!!

I agree with Brian, Steve..You suck
Not really...I think thats one that is high on a lot of Lists. I sure hope you have room in the truck for that bad boy, come GTG time..LOL
Great Looking saw Steve!!!
Gregg,
Way to go!! Nice finds there.
Those are both highly rated and desirable saws. Can ask MS460Woodchuck about that 505. He has one too.
Gregg,
