Gday all, as you can all tell I'm a newbie around here, so a small introduction. My name is Joel, living in NSW - Australia. I recently acquired an Agristar 350 saw cheaply, and as there's rarely a free lunch, I need a couple of bits for it, first and foremost a clutch assembly. The saw has the drive sprocket, but removing that reveals empty space where there should be a clutch. I'm wondering if anyone around here has a lead on new or used parts, either in Aus or overseas, I don't mind paying shipping, and is willing to part with a few bits. The majority of the saw seems in good order, it took very little to get it to run and idles well, and revs cleanly. Oil pump seems healthy and the saw has an Oregon bar and Stihl chain in good shape, so it seems worth saving to me.

Thanks for reading if you've made it this far.

Cheers

Joel

There is/was a member "Wayne," Avatar " G Max" that used to post although haven't seen him around for a while He lives in Aus & is/was into Efco kit & might know of a spares outlet, I have some clutches for Oleo Mac's but nothing to suit your saw The pt #to suit your saw is 4900068 for a complete clutch which comprises of a 3arm centre 3 shoes & a compression spring

I have a pile of 950 and 945 parts. If a 945 clutch works I have one for you.

Thanks for the replies fellas, in the end I brought a 264F clutch from Chainsawr and got it sent over. Bolted straight in and I'm good to go with the saw.

Does an alpine saw fit in this thread. I have an alpina a-40 top handle saw. The fuel line had disintegrated and the fuel filter is rotten. Half of the fuel tank is plastic that is attached to recoil starter housing. I need to split the tank but I removed the two screws holding it on. It won't come off and I have to split the tank to change the line and filter. Does anyone know how to split it, or do I just make a new hole in the tank for the fuel line, thanks

I think I read that somewhere. This is an old saw. The fuel tank isssue has me stumped. I want to take it off but I don't want to break it and I can't find any more screws. I posted a thread here once about it and no-one knew

No they have always been rivals in the chainsaw stakes Alpina's main plant was at Azioni Conegliano Italy & the Oleo Mac/Olympyk was at Reggio Emilia Italy Where they have branched out too, all the Oleo badge brands are under the Efco Label.

I have an olympyk 251 chainsaw. It has good compression and everything. The inside of the gas tank is corroded. I tried some soapy water and tiny nuts and it didn't do much. What else should I try? Thanks

Dump fuel after each use into a white plastic bucket. Let the crap settle and decant into a clean fuel container.
Eventually the crud from the 'white death' will diminish (but not disappear entirely.).
Change the fuel filter more often.

The fuel from the crummy saw tanks go in my lawnmower. Briggs runs fine on 32:1.

I will see if I can get some of that. I do have a 5 gallon bucket of industrial epoxy.

McCulloch used to use a black epoxy inside fuel tanks, some held up pretty well and some came off after 30 years or so...

Red-Kote is available from O'Reilly's; last time I bought some it was $35 for a quart. I make a point of keeping is sealed and have had some still useable after a couple of years. I can get 10 or 12 tanks sealed from a single quart can.
