Remington Chainsaws(including Mall chainsaws)

[Brufab]

If your going to collect Remington's of that style, you need to get used to dealing with those ball and spring check valves as well as the rubber duckbill check valves.

Yea I have a PL7A that I had to do a bunch of stuff on to get it to oil. What a pain lol.

Just came in the mail today

Afternoon fellas, here's the issue I believe, this hole where the oil adjustment screw goes I cannot get any flow to head out even using a runner tipped air gun, I can manually use the oil plunger and it comes out that hole but once I screw in the oil adjustment screw the manual oiler will not budge yes I am not turning it all the way in if it's almost all the way out it will skirt past the threads and come out there but once I turn it in anymore the plunger won't budge atleast the plunger has a good seal, Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks @Modifiedmark @cbfarmall @67L36Driver @edju1958 @Maintenance supervisor @ray benson

 

[Brufab]

I dang near got a dozen of these and this is the first time having this issue

 

[Brufab]

I'm guessing my issue is somewhere on the bottom end of the plunger assembly. Also thanks @ray benson for the ipl you sent me along time ago coming in handy right about now

 

[Brufab]

I bet part #12 is froze up???

 

[Brufab]

So as to not waste anyone's time I pulled the muffler and the flywheel, amazingly minty so I am gonna keep working on it I can't believe that duckbill is perfect holy heck

 

[Brufab]

I got it omg had to disassemble everything and blow out with air gun brake cleaner and then fogging oil now let's see if I can put it back together again lol

I had the same issue with a Lombard a few months ago, someone reassembled the saw with the check valve in backwards!
I find all kinds of debris in oil pumps though.

 

[Brufab]

Still may need some carb adjustment, I upgraded the muffler to a 3 louver vs 2

Have a chance at a super 990 in decent shape complete. What's the going rate on one of those these days

 

[cbfarmall]

There is no going rate. They just don't pop up for sale. I traded a Mac SP118 for mine and for the SP118 I traded a Mac 73.

I would make sure it is complete. Not going to find many parts for these saws. Even the 770s arw tricky, likely to reducing to finding parts saw. Fortunately, in the case of my S990, most of the chassis parts seem common with 770s, handles, tank, left and right sections. I want to say the clutch is larger but shoes are out there if you know how to search FM clutches. Really, the piston and cylinder are the impossible bits.

Yea here's the pile for sale L to R 770 770 990

 

[cbfarmall]

That's a heck of a pile there. I like the looks of those late Bantams with rubber gripped handles and paddle oiler levers. Check the stroke on the 770s and see if one or both is 89cc.

 

[Brufab]

The 990 looks to have barely any wear.

 

[cbfarmall]

Definitely a worthwhile bunch.
