I'm looking for the chain cover/starter/oiler cover for mine if anyone knows of one available.

Visit flea markets and find one of the el-cheapo stamped steel wrenches in 13/16". Use the correct plug, something that interchanges with the original J6J. The hex on the plug must line up with the gap between the top cylinder fin and the housing so the wrench will fit in between.

Lawnmower plug and J6J have the same location for the hex. CJ6 or CJ8 will be trouble. Wrench in picture is flea market find for a buck.

All the above wrench needs is a 9/16" deep well socket welded on to the end to duplicate the original supplied with the saw.

DRIVER , do you have a pic of the origionally supplied tool ?
 
I knew that. I wonder what the thinking was. Seems like the only saw Remington did that with but I've been wrong before.

Was that the literature Carl was referring to in the Remington thread?

Chris B.

Yes.

And this one too.

I wonder if a bow application had something to do with modifying the handle.

Looking at that 75, it appears the handle was cast as one piece along with crankcase side, versus the 770 with a removable rear handle.

Chris B.

And, the one piece right hand casting varies according to which carb. was used. The H&L jets are in slightly different locations between the Carter ND and the Tilly HL. Choke throw is opposite also which causes me confusion when I go to start my blue Wards/Remy.

Better wear ear protection when viewing this one.



The 7/16" chain isn't too bad, but I do have new .404 and 1/2" sprockets to use down the line.

I think the rear handle is meant for a bow, or it should be. The angle of the grip makes it awkward to keep the saw waist-high and level and still hit the oiler.
