Remington S L 9
My BIL just gave me a saw to work on if I wanted to.I have only really worked on Partners so far.I have built from parts both new and old about 11 this winter and enjoyed it quite a bit. He used to work at Agway and in 1973-4 / he bought this Remington SL-9.
He ran it for many years just puttering around.One day it started to have some Idling issues as it would only idle if the chain was kept at a high rev.Which of course made it very dangerous to use, so he parked her in about 1985 and she has set ever since.
He was told it was most likely a bad seal and to just throw the saw away as it was not worth fixing. Like most Mainers he did not throw it away he even kept the ownere manual and orig tag from the store.
So now I have it and if I attempt to fix it I will need your advice.I would really like to get it going again, he told me when he put it away it ran fine but you had to keep the idle way up for it to run.
What do you think the problem may be? I was hoping it may just be a carb issue but who knows. So now I will take her to the shop and start to look it over a little.Here are 2 pictutes I would really appreceiate any advice you can give. And thanks for the help I will most likely need all you can spare. JeffView attachment 224832View attachment 224833
