Not much help but my PL-7A has an HS-74A on it.

Thanks , the one that came with the saw looks alittle small its an hs134a

I did find a Tillotson application chart from 1983 and my PL-7A is supposed to have an HS-134A.

The PL-6 (94cc) has the HS-74A.

There is no reference for the SL-7A but I suspect the 74 and 134 may have been used as carb supply dictated.

I did see a Homelite bulletin at one time that indicated swapping Walbro and Tillotson carbs due to production shortages was OK.

I would guess that affected a number of manufacturers.

It's worth mentioning that the application charts are likely made from PO's to Walbro and Tillotson indicating the saw manufacturer's part number for a particular model.

I think many of the manufacturers swapped carbs to keep up with production numbers.

I'm guessing my HS-74A was a cleanup of PL-6 inventory on carbs.

Thanks for the information, its funny but the venturi of the 134 looks smaller than the carburetor off a husky 266? I know its definitely smaller than the carburetor on my pro mac 700.

Some of those saws have primers. That would account for the different carbs. My PL7A has a primer, SL7A has a choke.

HS carbs typically have smaller venturis but do make power.

Good point Chris. My PL-7A has a primer.

Does anybody know what rim sprocket cluch drum fits the SL7A?

 

[cbfarmall]

I'm thinking it uses the Bantam drum. I recall swiping a Super 660 clutch assembly that fit.

Yeah it looks like the one I got for my super754.

Can I get an possible ID of the model saw?
I've narrowed it down to two possible saws depending on the style and cc's but hopefully a Remington guy (Carl) can confirm.
I was thinking either the Logger or SL-11 but I'm only going by the Acres site not knowledge.

I’d call that a SL-11 based on the fuel cap, rewind starter and muffler. [emoji848]

Those had a stick on builder’s tag on the bottom of the oil tank. Soon lost due to bar oil spillage. [emoji849]

For positive ID, use a popsicle stick in the cylinder. (Remove muffler)

Thank you sir [emoji106]

There's a straight check valve on the side of the oil tank, The one at the top. I'm not sure if you can make that work.

I got two of the Homelite 90* check valves off Evilbay.

Tiny fellows.

Looks like a bust. [emoji21]

Hey Carl listen to these to beauties rumbling along. Just picked them up yesterday and nothing needed to get them going just filled with fuel and primed the carburetor.

Holley carburetor sells a tiny check valve for a four barrel to keep a back fire from blowing the power valve diaphragm?

I figured they would take some adapting. Maybe a brass fitting that might require the hole in the tank be enlarged and maybe a new tube from the cylinder to the check valve.

On the oiler check, I used a Poulan duckbill with a smear of 3M weatherstrip adhesive.

Check run this morning shows it holding up, holding tank pressure and piling the chain. [emoji1696]

I’ve been wanting to use this for quite a long time now.

Reconditioned PL-5 cylinder kit from @chainsawlady.

I can make this Wards 3.6” into a PL-5A.

The rings are butt gap but I think I can get 49mm with locator pin notch from ‘The Greek’.

Somewhere during production of the PL/SL saws, Remingtons changed from a rubber duck bill to a steel ball check.

That shiny spot center.

No mod required.[emoji16]

But still ‘burp’ the tank when done running. [emoji106]
