Remington Chainsaws(including Mall chainsaws)

Funny thing - when I'm using an automatic only oiler my thumb is always looking for the manual pump plunger,Lol.

Matthew,I found one cup,all I need to do is take some measurements.I think I have a cup from a Super 754 that may work,just gotta find it.It'll need to have new scoring done to the inside of it though.

Some good chain info.

 

[edju1958]

I have a lot of bar & chain info from Charles (Classec) from the Homelite forum.A lot of bars & chains (as well as saw parts i.e.Fairbanks-Morse starters,will interchange with Remington parts.The F-M starter pawl assembly is a direct fit from the C series saws (Homelite)..

Matthew,the crap I had to go through to get a measurement was unbelievable.The battery in my calipers was dead & I had a helluva time getting it out to put a new one in.I was able to measure the cup I found & it's not deep enough.I've got more to measure though.

 

[edju1958]

Matthew,all the measurements I have on my cups don't come even close to the measurements you gave me.It seems that your cup is an odd ball.Sorry I can't help.I tried though.

Edju1958, thanks for taking the time to help out, I appreciate it. It seems like most Remingtons had shallow cups. From pictures online I think the bantam types had a similar cup to mine.

 

[Brufab]

Did you buy the one from leons?

There's a remington chainsaw fans group, I have found some parts on there, maybe try that?

 

[MatthewD]

No I haven't bought one yet. Leon's has a couple different types for sale, this is the one that I think is the same as mine. https://www.leonschainsawpartsandrepair.com/store/p6987/NOS_Fairbanks_Morse_Starter_Cup_14-112.html
I was going to wait until I had the crank play sorted before buying a cup. Just incase it also needs a new crank/rod. I should get time soon to dig into it again and take con rod cap off to inspect everything.

That sucks your having issues with that mw saw edju, that saw appeared to be a low use saw. you can get those bugs worked out easily. I might have a spare manual plunger assembly if you need it.

Got some more photos of my 770 today before I take it apart again to do the crank bearing. You can see the exhaust has a plate welded across it, presumably to quieten it down. When I got it the plate directed the exhaust directly into the bottom handle brace, so I cut and bent it to direct the exhaust out a bit. The Allen bolt on the carb is because one of the bolts was stripped out and I had to tap it to a bigger size. The bolt holding the oil pump bracket is broken off, it was like that when I got it, I have the bracket so I'll probably drill out that bolt sometime, but the nut in the end of the pump seems to hold it in fine.

Cool saw, that bar is nice. It only has 2 holes in it. All my Remy bars are Swiss cheese with 8 holes I think.

 

[Brufab]

Is that a Carter ND or nrd carb? I have rebuilt both and I don't like either of then lol. Gonna swap one out with a tilly hl159a and see how it works.

 

[Brufab]

Your 770 looks just like my 660 except for the muffler. Wonder if a 660 starter cup would work. Also the bottom handle was missing on this saw, I found a replacement recently, also saw has a chip in it.

I think it's an NRD but not sure. I can't find a pictures of a 660 cup on the internet to see if they are the same as the 770. I think I might try machining my own starter cup.
Does that chip replace the points on the saw?

Yes but I made my own harness, there was no points in the saw, I bought it for parts but I turned it into a runner. I can check dimensions on 660 cup this weekend.

 

[MatthewD]

Oh nice. The 660s look to have a similar or identical shroud/recoil assembly, so they should have similar cups.

The place I get all my remington kits from just made up some new kit's for the tillotston hs-74a

Get rid of that exhaust deflector, originally it was an open exhaust or just a screen .
That kind of restriction is definitely going to hurt not only performance but also carbon up the inside of the cylinder.

Hi wampum, thanks for starting the thread. Is there a way you could put a "jump to new" at the beginning of the thread? Thanks
