Could have used one of these today. One can only dream.
 
Well they got the saw running but seller wouldn't budge on price so no saw. :(

Since I wasn't able to check it out & had no idea what type of price one would bring I was hesitant to go very high. I will be picking brains at the Iowa GTG to get an idea what the older large cc saws are worth & which ones to stay away.

I had a neighbor give me a shindiawa in non running parts..
Yesterday Levi put it back together and believe it or not, it runs..
Is it a 48? or a 488??

Sorry for the delay Matt, I've been travelling on "business" and haven't been able to get online. That is indeed a 488 Shindaiwa and it is a fantastic little saw. The only downside to it is, as you noticed, no high side adjustment on the carb. I run a .325 18" bar on mine in hardwood with no problems. I prefer the Shinny to the 028 any day, but that's just me. I got mine used about 2, maybe 3 years ago and upgraded to the fully adjustable carb so I could do a MM. The coil failed a few months ago but the Chinese make a good coil for it for about $25 delivered.

My 488 has the same "48" on the ID tag. I don't know why they did that. If you don't mind buying the Chinese stuff, get a fully adjustable carb, do a MM and I think you'll really like the little saw. It's a professional grade saw with good power and balance. I haven't torn mine down to do any port work 'cause the little saw runs so well as is. Cobey is right, I like mine and ran it at the Charity Cut last time but was having a hard time keeping up with a certain 72cc Jonsered so I switched to my Dol-Kita.

Cobey lucked out. My source had a length of 80 drivers left to make the 78 dl loop of .404 x .058. (Carlton chipper).

Claims he can get another reel but that remains to be seen.............................................

If your looking for big, older, some milling, long bar saw. 076 can be found worth the money (and Matt is a pro at working on them) but they are real heavy. I have several parts if you find a builder.
 
Morning everybody, just about done with my 1 cup of coffee for the day. What to do? Supposed to rain, so I'm not going to work on the fence. Hmmm. Maybe I'll check out that 042 I got from Diggers_dad.:D

Thanks for the info Mark..
A. I see it has not only a coil, but some other type of Cdi box also..??
B. Levi already put an extra 3/4" opening in the can...
Good news is, we are having no trouble delivering ample fuel an it hauls the mail for 48cc...
We've ditched the .325 7 pin for a 3/8 7, and are gonna put 3/8 LP and a Poulan bar on it..
Should be interesting...
