Remington Chainsaws(including Mall chainsaws)

I don't know what I did but I got spark. That sc parks and rec business card must be the right thickness for the 754 when I get time I will have to put her all back together again and see if she fires on prime, I already got a carb kit on the way.

Now did you notice the witness Mark on the case to indicate the points setting?

 

[Brufab]

I have no idea I didn't even look or know. I just seen the points were really corroded and I cleaned them up with a tiny file and some real fine emery cloth. I also replaced the condensor. The points box cover said .020. Someone already stripped the screw holding the points out so I could not advance the timing or move anything.

Supposedly there's a line on the case to set the points to, I used a feeler gauge.
Just remember that the points gap somewhat determines the timing of the saw. So to much advance might give you higher rpms but with be funky at idle at the rope will try ro bite you. Too much retard and it'll feel lazy but pull hard and slow.

Thanks! Maybe I didn't even really set anything I don't think. Just a cleaning and I checked the gap with that card there was alil play so I figured that was close to .020?

I'm pretty new at all this stuff. I can run saws great but fixing them is something I am learning about everyday. I really appreciate all the help and knowledge.

 

[Maintenance supervisor]

No sweat , I'm still learning stuff too.

You line up the outer legs of the coil lamination with 2 lines on the crankcase as I recall. Pretty simple.

Thinking the 660 parts saw I got that's missing points would be a good candidate for a chip. The oiler line has a hole in it that will need to be repaired somehow but learning how to put a chip in a large frame remington would be fun. Looks like I can get a chip kit for around 25$

You can find them for half that if you shop around. They're all pretty much the same. Definitely go with a two terminal version so polarity can be easily reversed if necessary and so you don't need to hard mount it somewhere to establish a ground. That gives you the flexibility to mount it anywhere using RTV and long enough wires.

All cleaned up and put back together, just waiting for carb kit to come in a day or two. The bar studs are alil wobbley though, not as tight as my other large frame remingtons, either guy overtightened them all the time or was really rough with the saw.

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

You sure do a thorough job on those. Mine was absolutely filthy when I got it. First thing I did was pressure wash it. LOL Learned about Remington paint jobs real fast. Has a little left, but pretty much looks like your clutch cover everywhere else. Great compression and pops. A project for another day.

The bar studs on all these Bantam style Remingtons are captive so they can feel loose. Nothing to worry about.

The ones on this saw are the worst out of 9 saws. Very sloppy.

 

[Brufab]

The jb weld has held, but not sure how long it will last though. The 90 out of tank is pointing towards carb and needs to point strait up atleast. Could not budge the fitting even with a cheater pipe. I quit before I broke anything else. The hose has a lot of tension on it because of the orientation of the fitting and thinking that's why it broke the 1st time

 

[Brufab]

Hey guys, quick question, does anyone know if a large frame remington is a positive or negative ground saw? I managed to fix the oiler line on a parts saw (super 660) thats missing the points box cover plate and the points, I ordered a chip for it today to get some spark going. If I get spark then I will proceed in rebuilding the carter ND carb. The super 660 is a real early model based on the front handle style and carb model. Thanks!

Hole in oil line to bar. Repaired with 3/16 compression coupler. Tested and no leaks. Waiting on chip now

You folks happen to have a good bead on how much a good super 754 is going for nowadays? For example one that may not run but still in fair shape, complete and will a long bar.

 

[Brufab]

@northwest saws i have seen 25$ to about 200$ I paid 175$ for a nice one locally, 165$ total for one shipped from Washington state and 90$ for one on ebay. All 3 needed carb kits (30$) a few I missed on ebay went for around 175$ there's one on ebay for 350$ right now I'm interested in your 754 if you going to sell it.

 

[northwest saws]

I'm getting one with a lot but it will be several days before I can pick it up. It's got a 28" bar on it I believe. It's complete but will need some work, probably needs the fuel system refurbished
