I bought new fuel line, and replacement filters at my local chainsaw shop. Works like a charm.

Ok, all three available sets are spoken for...Sorry to all of those that i wasnt able to help.

Any body know a good place to get tygon (spelling) fuel line? i need 1/4 and 1/8 maybe a foot or two of both, ya know, just in case.

I get mine from NAPA but I'm sure other auto parts stores carry it as well

What type of material do you use?

I have been punching them out of a big fiber disc that was once used as a backup pad for a sander, made about a dozen for my 600 series Pioneers so far. There are also fiber washers used in the plumbing trade that only need the center squared out with a file, done that a few times also.

Would anyone like to take this 5-20 (?) off of my hands? It is pretty much complete, excepting the carb. The piston has some very light scoring. The compression is probably about 100psi, but I wonder if the rings are frozen with carbon of which there is a lot.

I'm open to pretty much anything...

Looking for a piston and cylinder for a Remington SL-10A.

Or, someone interested in adopting an orphan needing some love. I got this Wards/Rem. SL-10A from another forum member in an inventory reduction cleanup.

I have one excellent runner now. Just not sure I need another. Do I?.............................

any body know why i wouldnt be getting spark on a Homie EZ auto? its not the plug, or wire, thinking it must be the coil. anybody got one they can let go of?

I have a Homey EZ parts saw. It has a coil, but I'm not sure if it's good. I can try to test it today... I can't remember if it has a starter cover though.

Well good news and bad news from the shop today.

Good news first, as its directly related to the bad/painful news: I got the C7 running on the third pull and with a few twists on the needles she runs like a top!

NOW, when i went to shut 'er down...I fliped the little toggle switch which grounds out the spark and kills the motor....well little did i know it was going to ground through me, i was holding on the the wrap and rear handle, and got shocked in both hands, almost dropped the saw! but the saw kept running, and not untill it touched the ground did it cut off....What did i do wrong? something isnt right, or im an idiot...

Even with the nice little wake up call, im still pumped to hear that big ol' girl run.

Both points and condensers are cheaper than coils.......................so I'd try them first. Are your laminates clean and rust-free?

We need to know which ignition that saw has. Mark pull the flywheel cover and look to see what color the coil is. If it's blue, then you have an electronic ignition saw. Those blue Prestolite coils seem to take a crap without warning. I have a nice looking S E-Z with a dead blue coil right now. Goint to swap on a hopefully good coil from a parts saw. If that don't work, I'm probably going to install a points saw flywheel and coil, and put on a Nova module. I'm about done with those damn blue prestolites. It's not easy to convert a blue coil saw to points ignition, as these saws don't have the points cam machined into the crankshaft. A fellow has to swap the points saw crankshaft into the saw if they want to go with points. Screw that. I am glad that the rest of my S E-Z saws are all equipped with the black coil points ignition setup. I can easily keep them running, whether I maintain the points systems or swap in Nova modules.

That's strange Mark. The kill switch grounds out the low voltage side of the coil. Shouldn't give you much of a jolt. Are you sure you didn't somehow brush the plug cap or plug wire with the fingers of your right hand as you were flippin' the kill switch with your thumb? In any case, I'd suggest swapping in the kill switch from Cliff's parts saw.

I bought nice looking EZ auto off ebay few years back. When I got it here no spark.
It had the blue coil electronic ignition. Before I started looking for a new one.
I pulled the plug wire out of the coil and twisted it back in and then I had spark.:msp_biggrin:
It don't always work out that way but its worth a try.

I'll give that a shot Cliff. The lower part of the carb box is so tight against the cylinder on those saws that I've gotta remove the plug wire from the coil (or remove the cap from the wire) to remove those coils anyways..............so I might as well try twising it off, trimming the end, and threading it back onto the coil stud. That'd be great if it solves the problem....

 

[AU_K2500]

ok, well its blue, ive had it off, cleaned all the dirt and oil off of it, and yes the laminations are still nice and shiny, no rust. the plug wire, and unit itself seem newer than the rest of the saw. so Cliff i might try what you mentioned. maybe the plug wire just wasnt seated properly. Id like to get it running as i dont have a smaller saw thats operational.

And yes. this C7 is throwing me for a loop. the switch is is fine, and im pretty sure the coil is set up correctly. some how the high voltage side is getting grounded to the saw and straight into my HANDS!!!! Granted the saw needs a new plug wire, but i cant see that being a problem......why would it just do it when i flip the switch?

opcorn: weird, better get used to shutting it off with the clutch until you get it figured out. please post the solution when you discover it. i've been racking my brain trying to figure out how that could happen. so far, nothing.

Im thinking its a short in the switch, but yeah, ill probably just use the choke for now. and have a rude reminder if i forget and use the switch by mistake!

There is a bad ground somewhere. The ground side of the coil is not properly attached, or the saw is not fully grounded to the handlebar for some reason. These problems usually only happen on saws with av mounts. The Mac SP125 has a special ground strap on the tank to prevent this sort of thing from happening.

You may need to make a ground strap from the carb box to the crankcase. Did you repaint the saw? That may be your problem, as paint is not a good conductor of electricity.

Im looking for a Homie EZ ign. coil either an electronic (blue) or a crank and points style coil to convert.

Oh, and solved the C7 problem, no more grounding through me! ordered a chain from baileys will have it in some wood next weekend.

Best way to convert that blue coil S E-Z to points is to get a parts saw (sound familiar?). In addition to the coil and the points-saw crankshaft, you'll need the flywheel, and the points box. You can get by without a crank changover if you just swap the flywheel and coil, and install a Nova module. I may end up doing that soon with one of my saws.

Parts saw!? where?! im always open to a parts saw!!!

A few guys here have them. Check with BPlust. Post up here that you are looking for a points E-Z/Super E-Z parts saw too.
