Titan parts/advice needed,can anyone help?

[Sharky74]

I have a vintage Titan saw, one in which the bar rotates 90 degrees. Not sure of the model but I was told it may be a sportsman. It is still in fairly decent shape and I was trying to get this thing goin but she has no fire and after cleaning up the ignition, when I pulled on it the recoil spring took a crap. It broke right where it "hooks" at the end of the coil. I tried to heat the end to make it hook again but it broke after a few pulls. Does anyone have or know where I might be able to find parts or how to tell exactly what model it is? I was also told by an old timer in that an old style mercury outboard tiller motor points and condensor would work on this.

Also I am new to this forum, but have been around the woods most of my life. Any help or advice is appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Shawn

Went to Mike Acres site and he has a beautifully restored Titan saw on his home page (not a sportsman however).

Here is a link to the Sportsman model info page. 31.5 pounds? Give me one of those heavy 441's!

Sorry, but I forgot to welcome you to ArboristSite. There are a number of members here who specialize in used saw parts. One member is retoocs555. You might try to private message him. Hopefully someone will be able to locate some parts for you. There is a lot of knowledge here (along with the bs). Good luck.
