Good!!.....Looks like it was never run, piston has all the original machining marks still there and not a scratch on the piston. Saw has so much compression even I can`t pull it over without a chainbar on it.
Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

more pix before cleaning,
Looks purdy good !
If I can find a better top cover this saw won`t look bad at all.
I am sure you can find one ! Darn clean just as is !
Seems the saw just sat around, never threw a chain, no drive marks on the spur drive, no amount of dirt under the bar cover, just a wee bit of bar oil, very little sawdust. Throttle linkage stuck but freed up with a squirt of WD40, no wear on the bottom of the saw and the screws were never removed from the recoil cover.
Sounds like you got a very good one ! Well worth a nice paint job !
Its 100% better than I thought it would be, just a top cover and it will be an easy restore.
Sure hope to get something done tomorrow ? The last couple weeks have really sucked ! Just nothing I can do bout it. LOL Getting very stir crazy !

Okay need some help with an Echo GT-1000 wacker. Runs but a while ago managed to get the rewind spring loose. Grrr. Any good tips on how to get the spring rewound and into the small spring holder? After that should be easy to put back together and get running again. Here's some pics.

Any help is appreciated. Am I better off just buying a new spring?

It will just wind right in.
They can be a little tricky to wind up,hold it, and get it back in there ! I don't really know any tricks to it ? Some one here may ?

Yeah. I'll say have wo wind the booger tight to get it in. Maybe a hose clamp to help.

Zip tie maybe ?

That might work. Something just to hold it when I get close to help me wind it in the rest of the way. Then it has to go in that little ring that helps hold it in place in the starter housing. Once it's in there I think I'm good. Will be happy to have the backup.
OK , hope everyone is sitting down for this ?
Dan is a real nice guy ! :msp_huh:
