Thanks for the advice and the terminology!
If the stop switch is messed up, the saw is trashed.... send it to me for a proper disposal. :msp_rolleyes:
Just kidding. In my opinion the 5000+ is still the best 50cc saw ever made. Take good care of it.
Here are a few pics on how the stop wire hooks up at the coil and switch. You can easily make a whole new wire. It's 16ga wire 11.5" long and a female spade connector at each end.
This end slides into the red plastic switch.
The first pic is the switch in the run position. The second is stop. The spade end contacts the little shiny nipple:msp_razz: and grounds out, killing the engine.

Well, I guess I'd better box it up and send it off...you'll pay me back for shipping?
The pics are great. It makes much more sense than what I was seeing in my saw.
I figured I had to solder the wire back to the sleeve on the coil

I wasn't sure what was going on at the switch...
View attachment 199085
When I first looked at it you can imagine I had trouble seeing what was going on due to the build up...

One last question for now. Does the kill switch wire get dressed in the same channel as the wire from the spark plug or does it live somewhere else?
Thanks for the clear feedback. Time to go parts shopping.

Another Partner thinkin its a Skilsaw
One of my newest Partners a S55 wanting to be a Canadian/US skilsaw!!! funny tag says Skilsaw USA then made in Canada!! then funnier yet because the case still says Made in Sweden. Model 1632, I really like this saw NO av but still fun to use for short periods. A pleasure to run and own. this saw has very little hours on it. The 7 pin rim sprocket on it says Partner and is in great shape still.
Anyone looking to part with any? I might want to start a Skilsaw collection to keep my Partners company.

Cool. More saw rebadging. Interesting stuff to see. I've seen Skil badged Frontier, Poulan, and Partner saws. Wouldn't be surprised if there were others.

Rebadging
Yeh my girlfreind still laughs everytime she goes to the shop and its sitting there, she loves the Skilsaw Inc USA , Made in Canada Model 1632 with the Made in Sweden showing on the case under it!! I just tell her the Tag was made in Canada for export to the US.
My dad says back in the 80's those saws were throw aways, ($55.00) they had no problems but were CHEAP use them one year and toss um!!! wish I can find where they were tossed too.
Funny they came with rim sprockets, 2 rings, and brakes, for a cheapy rebadge they were loaded, I wasn't expecting this one to run and come with those features when I paid $47.00 to the door for it, I think I need more.
Thank You everyone for the interest in my Junk!!! Wish I could convince my other half.

Thanks, Arrowhead. I think I like it, The cracked cover just gives it a personality, I found another one but think I'll leave it all parts matching, less of course the bc, Now theres an idea I need to locate the OEM bar for a skilsaw 1632, I like challenges. I have other Partner saws f65's S65's P70's and newer Poulan/Jonsereds 2077/2083 but man this little 55cc saw drives me crazy.
Nothing like someone asking what saw you use and you say Skilsaw! The looks are priceless
Someone out there likes these too, one sold on ebay a 65cc for $170.00+
Anyway I love this thread and thanks for letting me share, Im new to all this but feel this info I have will be lost if not used.

Nice looking saw Timber! I believe Mark has one like it. :msp_thumbup:
Indeed I do. Like timber says its a strong runner for 55cc
Might not be that big a challange, I picked up 2 NOS Skilsaw bars a short time ago. I have to check to make sure there the right ones and that they fit though, just have not gotten to it yet. There short hardnosed models.

Partner thinkin its a Skilsaw 1632
Great to know some Skil bars are out there, thanks Modifiedmark I have seen one but it was for the ? (cant remember) Canadian Equipment Co. larger Skilsaw not Partner. Yes I think I'm going to locate more of these, there nothing special just "workers" kinda well balance I think. I have plenty of big saws but I do say these feel like they have ample power to me, but I'd say all the extra weight on the piston and crank (slight over engineered) sure turns up the torque. Still blown away they are 2 ringers!!!! Half my other Partners are singles.
I'm going to find a nice location on the shelf for it and use it monthly for firewood pile trimming (miss cuts)
Guess I better start putting together my Partner 65cc (type 1/type 2) piles to see how they compare

1646 Partner?
Have you really checked this saw out, a 1646 is a Skilsaw rebadged s65, but your looks like a 1646 cover on a R series 70mm cylinder? And Skilsaws are painted a different color yellow. Just though I'd throw that out there. 70mm cylinders hit the top covers slightly unless there 70mm covers. (p70, metal r series) and it looks like that in the picture. May be wrong.

I'm just going by whats on the cover
any other way to tell ??
the cover seems to fit fine without hitting except maybe the spark plug thingy..

1646
Well the colors dont add up, the 1646 cover is just that a Skilsaw 1646 (65cc) they came with bright yellow cases with black tops with stickers. They did not say partner on the bar cover. Some came black. but not regular yellow on the case. Really a moot point because there all great!!!! Yours looks to have more cooling fins (higher) than my saws F65 saws with that style cyl.
Look down behind the flywheel, and behind the coil find the Mahle casing number, its hard to sometimes. Between cylinder head bolts along base gasket. should see 48**** or 44**** if its a 70cc saw it'll be 50**** there are two seperate sets of numbers, (air compressor blow nozzle or carb cleaner helps alot) as long as it is not points!!!
It may be just that a Skilsaw 1646 with a Partner side cover, if so I'll take it off your hands for you!!!!
Also MOST!!! not all 70cc saws had adjustment for oiler under saw.
