I'm pretty tempted to fab my own but I'm not certain what design would work best. Any patterns out there?
I just made a set for my 361. All I did was look on google images, copy past into word and print until it was roughly the size I wanted, then modify the mounting holes to match. Went pretty well. It's saw dogs anyway, nothing super important. Also, make sure you use cold-rolled steel if possible. Less likely to bend when you aren't paying attention.
 
Here's what mine ended up looking like. I was super happy when all the points lined up on both sides. Usually stuff doesn't turn out that well the first time.

Y'all...this JD 50v is beating me and I'm about ready to throw it at a wall. Fires with gas in plug hole. I've cleaned the carb at least 5 times. **it has not been rebuilt** I've taken it apart. Plug looks wet. Gas cap seems to leak a bit when trying to start. I'm about to pay someone on here to figure this out lol. If it were my saw I'd leave it until the end but it's for a friends dad :/. I want to get this thing running. PleSe help

If you had a POULAN It would be running now HaHa
Thinking you need a carb kit
try the seat on the metering side
 
Tell me about this saw. It is called a Sears Ranger Lightweight chainsaw. Is this the same "3.7" saw made by roper that everyone talks about just an older version? Is it 50cc? It has a hard nose bar of about 18" give or take and auto and manual oilers. Acres site has no information on this model number. I paid $10 for it at a flea market. Cleaned the molasses out of the fuel tank and dressed the points and it runs great. I think it's .325 chain. Would like to swap it over to 3/8" like all my other saws of parts are available.

20170408_171551.jpg Finally got to do some milling today. Heres the arsenal of saws i got to use for different things. Finally put the echo to work... ugh nows its all dirty lol. Runs good though. Had the xl 923 on the mill while in breaking in the echo. That thing ran all day like a champ. Dad said he thought grandpa gave 3 dollars for it at auction! Used the 475 pro to make wedge blocks to rest the log on, and used the 330 pro to trim knots. All in all got alot accomplished.

You are correct it is still a Roper, they are great saws, really strong. Parts should be easy enough to find, and the the 3.7's were 60cc high compression saws and congratulations on finding a ranger in good shape and the air filter intact! Normally they are broken.
