Better late than never.

Again, 70 psi is the middle of 'normal'. Got it running and cutting and it now lives in Kansas City.

It had automatic oiling by the way.

Mono with a Power Products 81 engine. Just got it running for a fellow member. Loud, just what the neighbors needed.

You can watch the fire coming out the exhaust port.

Bump for the begging for manuals people.

Hard to find much David Bradley saw info 917.60035 that uses the AH-47 engine. Did locate the Tecumseh Power Products split engine manual. Sears parts had a parts diagram but most parts are no longer available. Never found an owners manual.

Wish i had that pull starter lol

I have a Mono SL245 w/ a PP AH44. It runs, but it looks like the ring gap is right in the middle of the exhaust port. There doesn't appear to be the little "pin" that I'm used to that holds the ring in place. Does that sound strange?

On further examination, it has two rings. Possibly just one is intact and that still provides enough compression for the engine to run?

I thought there was 2 rings, i would say the gap you see is a broken ring

With that type of exhaust port you don't need the ring locating pin since there's never a large port it needs to cross.. pretty much all the old 2 strokes had that kind of port. Some (Titan blue streak for example) had 3 rings, 2 were compression rings, and a ring on the bottom of the piston to keep the crankcase sealed off from the exhaust port, I figure with the tighter tolerances of the new engines they didn't need it anymore since the piston was close enough to the cylinder wall it wouldn't leak significantly anyhow

Nope! Not broken.

Lots of support for the rings on that style of port. No locator pin needed.

Stagger the gaps at 180 degrees and you are good.

It does not look at all like either of the ones I have (had).

With the rope oriented that way, if it's for a saw it would probably be for a gear drive.

Doubtful. Rotates wrong direction for a direct drive saw. Don't look like it can be reversed.

Edit: forty one seconds behind Wingnut.
