I do get some pleasure from restoring old stuff , I just got my crosscut back a few months ago also, a beautiful old Simmons peg n raker.

I get a kick out of being able to restore anything to working condition that isn't working right. Need a top handle so I just got a project for that.

RedMax G310TS. Cute little thing and red, my favorite color.
 
Likewise.........

Fixing/building is my golf/tv/video games.

One reason I loved R&D.

Same for me now. I have a few things I'm working on right now. I like to get a good result in the end and learn a lot along the way. I love troubleshooting.

Get a chance check out my thread on the Redmax in the chainsaw thread. Let me know what you think.

Dont have any..
simple things that are so easy smart people lose them !!
if ya aint got a junkyard handy i can git one and send it to ya.
tho it should hold just fine as it is,,a bungi cord will work temp.
i got MAF's and IAC's and such but not them clips :(
thing is,,once ya git one runin ya dont need pahts fer a coupl 100k miles :)


oh yeh,,one thing,,if ANY problem with idle or off idle acceleration,,,known intake gasket problem,,,,$9 and 1/2 hr fix..betwen cyl 1 and two leaks.
Also " flame trap " causes strange problems,,can take it apart and clean it.
next is throttle cable adjust,,cable goes to little black box,as soon as cable moves should hear a " click " ,is adjustable,not common problem but can make you think :)
computer,,sitting in pass seat you can kick the cover with your right foot,,simple removal and unplug it and clean contacts.
on an old car corrosion happens.
As well as they are made AGE does do things that cant be helped on anything mechanical.
a fiend owns " automeister " next town over,,google them ..nothing but 5 star reviws.. where i get my parts..

Exxcellent info Ron...Thanks..will keep that intake gasket issue in mind and just yesterday I noticed that the large rubber flame trap hose is cracked so I gotta attend to that anyway.......but your throttle cable an 'puter stuff don't pertain to this one...1976.....injection is CI mechanical....K-Tronic....only 'puter it's got is the ign module.'bout the size of a pack of 'Nadian smokes.....I think I'll put a new timing belt and tensioner on and all new fan belts too.....just to be on the safe side..

Junk yards up here don't keep anything that old....and I ain't been a Volvo geek long enough to know where the other Volvo geeks keep their junks cars.....so if you happen onto one of those clips or remember next time you are looking for parts and see one pick it up for me if you would.....if I find one before you do I'll let you know..thanks for the info...can never have to much.....
 
Morning slackers! Long weekend but I'm going to work today where I will try to get some rest. Got the base and qtr round in the laundry, pantry, dinning room, and kitchen yesterday which consisted of paint, cut, install, caulk in that order. Still got in grocery shopping and managed to get the truck unloaded too. Heading out now to load saws as I am pretty sure I'll be knocking over some more trees today at work. Given the massive rain that side of the world got yesterday, it will be too wet to do any grading and moving dirt.

Wassapp morning slackers! Back to work I go. I have to win the lottery so I can stay home and work on saws and such.
