Problem with starter/recoil

[sedanman]

Chris, I am still putting the finishing touches on the "display only, built entirely from n.o.s. parts" 015. I found a never used hardnose bar and will display it along with the relatively rare solid sprocket nose bar you gave me. If I find a new white starter housing or a white throttle interlock I can put the saw together for the last time. I found every other part new for an 015, oher than some hardware that nobody will ever see.

Hopefully some Jred 90 P&C photos

Let's test how smart/stupid I am. Edit: The jury is still out-I had to delete one image because I totally screwed it up when I was trying to adjust it. Maybe i should've left it & let someone tell me where I went wrong. Also the piston photo looks like there's a big crease or something in it-there isn't.

Checked out the parts saw today.

I found a fairly deep (very visible & it'll easily catch your fingernail) vertical line on the lower part of the piston on the carb side. The jug looked better than the one on the main saw, so I used it on the main saw. I put the main saw back together, cleaned up the sparkplug, & again adjusted the carb to one turn out on the high & low jets. It will now give a few encouraging & teasing sounds, but won't start. Reminds me of my dating days.
