So they are kinda like a stihl in features with special made gas line etc i dont want to wreck anything by attemping to disassemble without guidance?
The working coils on them are likely worth more than the saw itself since they are NLA so most shops were just tossing them. To fix them up as runners there are a lot of parts that are hard to find/NLA but they don`t need much they were good running/cutting saws in their time.
At least 1 runs i squirted some gas in carb and it ran
You may be lucky and get a runner without having to source any parts, that would be good. I have tossed 4 of them over the years because of parts required far outdid the cost or worth of the saw. Solid saws though if in good running condition.

So we should assume that these are points models? So the Oregon ignition chip should work on them, as they work on the 500vl?
They were points saws, the ones I had here.
Watching with great interest. Would like to read this relic is running and cutting.....in short order.
