I like your neat old saws, I just got my first mac a 10-10 auto, its a loud booger, still tryiing to get it all working right
but them macs seem pretty cool. thanks for the old saw videos

 

[sledrat]

Right On THANKS bud !! yep the old stuff is sure neat thats fer sure..
Have not yet came across one old saw i could'nt make run with out a bit of tinkering from original they all seem they still got backbone!
Either that or maybe they were made alot better than the new stuff???better parts or more pure metal? who knows..
and i seen some bad ones...
but then again i guess
one should let some of the old sleeping dogs
REST...

Commonly known as "Hagenbrew" on the farm forum I'm on...Good stuff, as good if not better than what you can buy in a bottle.

A SMURF SAW FIND!!
Picked up this lil blue beauty Makita dcs 401 the other day but i just couldnt get it to run ,
it would kinda start and run very poorly very weak in power..
When pulling the cord it felt like poor compression very easy to pull..
So looking at the saw i noticed a lil blue decompression button for easy starting,,
Was it simply stuck open??? took it apart yep it was stuck wide open,,
Manage to get it working with a quik shot of the XXX SUPER RAT LUBEXXX then i tryed pulling the saw over and i tell you this lil SMurf saw got alot of good compression!
It started right up and ran like a champ but i can hear the clutch is a lil loose or needs a shim plate behind the clutch??...Anyways never seen or used one of these makita saws before but from what i see they look like a dang nice and decent made saw!

heres a few pics and of course a start up vid of my Smurf...

 

[Trx250r180]

aren't the makitas blue dolmars ?

Heres a quick lil viddy
of the Smurf up and running again!

later brotherz

PS
STOP THE PRESS~~~~!!!
Sure starting to like the smurfs saws!! WHOA!



Think the Dolmars are the same ect ,,,but not sure dont know much about the new stuff..

 

[Steve NW WI]

Yup, the Makita and Dolmar are the same saw under the color.

401s are a running little machine, you'll like it. Snotty little saws. The only thing better in that size IMO is the 420, but they're a bit heavier (disclaimer added for weight conscious wimps on here, you know who you are )

some days i just luck out

dont try this at home folkz ot recommended..
use the right tool and then treat your self to a shot of whiskey after for being a good good boy and good to the old saw
ha!

 

[sledrat]

OK folkz im done filing & cleaning up the old IEL points.

here have look,, Im scared to file to much off it might not run again!

And RATS !!! RATS!!! RAts!!! during the filing i busted my best points file on this OLD IEL

ALL i can say it better RUN after breaking my best points file!! WHAT A DIRTY OLD SAW!

heres a few pics of the points and the file i busteD all up!

Other than that though back in the day the saw companys sure used good quaility parts back then ,,
the coil is not even cracked! THis saW sat for years on a farm then sat for more years in scrap heap of metal!
unbelievable the points and ignition parts look so dam good in this old beast !

STAY TUNED FOLKZ !

NOW TO TRY AND GET THE CARB UNSTUCK!!

 

[dieselfitter]

No worries. Now you have two files.

 

[sledrat]

No worries. Now you have two files.

Well not really the other file is not the same file pattern and doesnt cut it at all ,..
Might have to resort to borrowin BiG mommas electric nail file polisher think that sucker got a diamond dust grinding blade that will easily polish a set of points in a jiffy..... yep as you see im headed fer the doggy house again! just a matter of time...
