Skil 1690 Has Arrived

[aldo]

Jayzuz!! that's a big bugger. The air cleaner cover/petrol tank looks like it's off a motorbike ........ that's because at 139cc all it's missing is a set of wheels

Lee, the parts saw I got looks the same as your intact one, just been comparing the pictures. The oiler is the same and the muffler.

Would it help anyone if I posted pics of the 1690 user manual?

Just bought one of these saws today for an ASer off it's original owner and he still had the manual for it.

That would be a heck of a find:msp_biggrin::msp_biggrin::msp_biggrin:

The resulting complete pdf is just under 25MB, so, way over the AS file size limit so attached as individual pdfs is the front cover and specs pages.

Awesome manual!

Awesome manual!

Tks. Can do the same with the PM270 and 370 manuals if it's useful to anyone. Also Pioneer 650.

If you don't mind scanning the others I'll pass them on in the beg for manuals area

Sure. I am photographing then tweaking it as my flatbed scanner doesn't work with my new computer, darn it. I just went to photograph the PM270 manual and I've got a 'special, collectors edition' because it has been collated with the correct number of pages but has doubled up on one leaf (2 x 2=4 pages of the booklet). Unfortunately, it means I don't have pages 11/12 nor 29/30, the latter 2 being the parts list for the carby and diagram for the gas tank IPL. Not sure I should continue with this but if someone else has these pages and can upload them, then I can complete the manual.

Here's the cover for reference:

It maybe best to leave it until you have all the pages.

A few pages are a slightly out of focus but they print out OK(just).

Hope this helps.

I am loving those scans

This must be one of the all time big boy toys. I hope that someone brings one to the IA GTG, I'd love to see one. Were there many of these made, are they pretty rare? I've heard of them before on AS, but any info would be appreciated. Thanks JR

Hi Lee, can you you or anyone with a 1690 please physically check the crankcase assembly part number? I'm freaking out a little bit here b/c the skil1690 manual says "281602" yet I'm just cleaning this supposed 1690 up a little to send to JJ and it has "281002" stamped on it. BUT when I check the PM370 and 390 I have here they are stamped with the same code but it's laid out differently - they word it as "2 8 1 - 0 0 2" whereas the skil1690 has it as one number and quite compressed, like "281002", so it's a different mark altogether even though the numbers are the same, but it doesn't jive with the IPL I have in the manual.

I can check but it won't be till later today.
The number on the case might be an enginering
number and not an actual part number.
Post a couple pic's of the saw.

Sorry, I think you're right about the engineering number. I just checked the PM370 manual I have here and it has "270602" for the crankcase , which is not the "281002" number on the part itself when I physically check it. The supposed 1690 does have that distinct muffler and the other parts seem to jive with the IPL and JJ has seen a video of it and seems happy with it so I'm gonna relax a bit and get it out to him first thing this morning (a few more hrs before shops open).
