I'm excited about my Dayton 2z463, even though I paid out the you know what for shipping, I think it's worth that.

On Friday, I checked the compression on my $15 Pro Mac 700 and it was 60 psi, but I took the muffler and carburetor off and everything looks good I think new rings should fix it. My dad picked up a red craftsman 1.9 and a 2.0 chainsaw at the scrap yard today. If efisher doesn't want them then I will probably post them on here for sale.

Your gonna love it, them saws have one mean bark, you can tell when a saw is a big displacement saw, has that audible "pop" and that clutch "ting" when its hammering away.

Yep I'm super excited, I'm hoping just rebuilding the carb and maybe replacing the fuel lines with getting it back running again.

I've talked to a guy about buying his craftsmen 2.7 a/vl but he is being super flakey and I can't ever get ahold of him.

Thats another thing I like about the old saws. Mufflers are pretty free flowing-some you get to see the piston going up and down--and loud--I likem all!!!!!!!!!!!!

May have to clean the points also, or just convert it to electronic ign, i converted my 245a that made it run good

I gotta model 71 poulan the muffler is basically just an extension of the exhaust port, you literally can watch the piston moving, makes your ears ring

How much trouble is it to convert?

 

[Boomer 87]

15 minutes

 

[Kensie1988]

15 minutes

How many parts will need to be swapped out?

 

[Boomer 87]

Super easy

 

[Kensie1988]

Super easy

That will most likely be what I do then.

 

[Boomer 87]

No parts just get the transistor ign module you basically cut the wire going to the coil from your points, it goes to the positive of the module, you run the ground to the bolt use use to mount the module on the saw and your done.

 

[Boomer 87]

I can take a pic of my 245 tomorrow itll all make sense then

 

[Kensie1988]

I think I have seen a video of someone talking about that. You install it under the flywheel and it works off of the magnet?

 

[Boomer 87]

It doesnt even need to go under the flywheel i bolted mine on where one of the coil bolts were just got a longer bolt.

 

[Boomer 87]

Look up the nova II ign module

 

[Kensie1988]

Looks super easy lol
