Thanks much, tried them but never find the real eBay site like we have over here, mostly private eBay shops.
Try searching ebay item #231008906292, he has them with the S decal also.
Repo Contra top.
That top looks great. I sent a message asking about a cover with the S on it and will wait to hear back from him. Many thanks for the link.
The carb is a Tillotson 112C, just got through dismantling it and now its soaking in a bath of Acetone and white kerosene. The choke shaft and the throttle shaft is stuck, the rest of the carb looks very good and all came apart easily.
Happy to add that the shafts came loose after setting two hours in the acetone/kerosene bath. I had tapped lightly on the choke arm with a hard plastic screwdriver handle and it reverberated like a tuning fork, it was solid. The choke moved with just my thumb pressure after soaking. The throttle shaft took a little more working with my thumb pushing on the idle set arm but I felt movement immediately and after rocking it back and forth and adding some WD40 it would snap shut with just the pressure the little return spring exerts on that shaft. The rest looks like it will clean up nicely, even the 50 year old diaphragms and gaskets could likely still be used, they are not hard at all. I have an original Tilly rebuild kit for it however.

Are you sure this an S model? Slide her red top off to tell for sure.
How can ,you, tell by that?

The top of the 137cc cylinder is different than the 106cc.
How so?

The S cylinder has more of a "raised" spot in the center. Just measure the bore, it's 58 or 66.
Just pulling your leg,..already been done and documented.

I figured that.

That's what the 137cc looks like.
Filthy isn`t it?

There's nothing wrong with a filthy redhead.:msp_wink:
I think it will clean up nicely, not a lot of heavy gunk/dirt anywhere on it.
I married one:hmm3grin2orange:
That saw will clean up a treat!! i think the early contra/lightning,'S' had this type of recoil housingView attachment 302800
And the later 'S' saws had this typeView attachment 302801
