Got the Mall sort of running if you zip tie the trigger and hold the choke just so.
The automatic (!!!) oiler works.

Prolly have to take the carb plumb off for a good soaking. H needle is 2-3 turns out and havn't found a L speed screw yet.

Morning midlanders.

Finally got the MS440 complete. On C'List he goes. Sixty bux of air filter parts. Yikes!!

Just now catching up on the thread.

I posted a few saws on Clist the other night thinking that someone in Lee's Summit might need to clean up a tree top or two. No bites yet

Got another one under the knife... Never have seen this on an 025 before, pretty impressive really. No evidence was left of the culprit, anyone seen anything similar before in their travels?

I have a dozen or more cases that are totally trashed exactly like this. The main culprit I have found in heat/friction from frozen up drum bearing and or worm gear failure. Some are just plain melted and other I have seen are similar to yours in the pic. Happens all the time on this family. Most have a heat shield( large washer) but some I have seen without them.

Did a little trading the other day and picked up this little gem along with another for parts and an 030AV.

Morning midlanders.

Slow start this am due to all the pulling we did on the Mall yesterday.

Compression check is in order on him as oil in the cylinder increases resistance imencely.

Can't see squat from the spark plug hole.

Heh. You put your left toe on top of the oil tank and use both hands on the pull rope. Lots of drag as the clutch is froze up. 9/16" chain x 24" bar.

Yep, some of those old 1 man saws should have been called 2 man saws. Because it took 2 to start them. 1 to hold the saw down and 1 to pull the rope.

As soon as you get that clutch feeded up it will work better. I have a 34 cc top handle olympic that had a bound up clutch pulled hard than my ported 2094.

You all have a great 4th

Happy 4th of July, Independence Day.
Let's not forget the ones that have served and the ones that are serving this great country. Without them, we wouldn't be celebrating today.
Many thanks and much gratitude to you.

I try clamping the bar or dogs in a vise and thrash on it. I've got a couple that sit in the corner waiting for when I feel frisky. (They're getting pretty dusty)

My Homie 2000 has taken up residence in the big vice for near six months now.


Havn't felt frisky enuff.

Took out some dangerous ceader trees by a house yesterday......

Hit the ground ...... sweated my shoes full them little odd limbs make saws kick back bad.

The OMG is really different to what I'm used to. Rewind starter turns the 'output' shaft on the timing belt reduction. So, for every turn of the starter pulley you get approximately four turns of the engine crankshaft.

The crankshaft is another gem. Cantilevered crank pin. That is, take a conventional crank and remove one end with counterweight.
Our next step is to reset the points as I think a late ignition is a goodly part of my problem.
