Technically, you're only allowed to sell in the Tradin' Post, but since you did not specify any prices, we're gonna let this one slide. I reckon a person could PM you if they were interested in any of these saws, though, yes?

I fully understand and yes I suppose if someone accidentally sent me a PM I wouldn't be upset wink wink. They're on eBay and the trading section on AS. That being said I was more probing for what people with more experience thought about the units I'm selling. Any interesting tidbits on them...

I should note that every one of the saws I own and most of which you own are older than me (30) and thus why I want to know as much about them as possible; I have no experience or reference to what saws were like "back then".

So my Pioneer 650 didn't have much for a filter so it got the Scotch-Brite treatment lol

Do you have an arts and crafts store? The project foam is perfect for a good quality DIY filter.

FYI to all interested, thanks to @Kensie1988 he confirmed, the
C-5,7 and 9 West coast bucking spikes have a 5.5" bolt spread which matches up to the Echo 750 EVL

Not saying what you did is right or wrong @Kensie1988, but I've been told that the fibers can come loose and be ingested. Ive done that on a blower, but Idk

I can see that, but there is also a smaller screen under the scotchbrite pad, the original filter consisted of two pieces, a thin fiber filter and small screen. I put the screen back in under the pad for anything fine that might make it through the pad, I'm hoping it will work temporarily until I get a proper replacement.

I've heard that aquarium filter works well... Never tried it, as I don't have an aquarium, and it's kinda pricey...

Egg crate foam might work

I can see the egg crate working well, I might try that out as well

Does scotchbrite have abrasive granules bonded into the plastic fiber? I'd be worried about the granules, not the fibers. They are probably sub visible but large enough for damage.

Years ago I bought some flat sheets of TwinAir foam filter material about 1/2 inch thick. Two layers, differing densities. For about $25 I made about 10 air filters for GasGas 200 trials. Probably make 25 or 50 saw air filters.

I'm not sure what scotch-brite looks like under a microscope but it's a valid point, where would you get twin air filter material?

I noticed the stroke difference also-the hunt continues!!

I just checked acresinternet and they have a different stroke. I guess I'll just keep watching. I have another saw that looks like this one that needs a clutch cover and a wrap handle so I may use those parts on my saw and try to sell the rest.

I have a very similar saw that is missing the wrap handle and clutch cover so I may put the two saws together to get one.

I've tried it on a poulan top handle. I soaked it in oil and squeezed it out. Seems to work good so far.

Not sure that i would use scotch brite,it's abrasive.As the saw pulls air through it you could be sanding the inside of the saw motor

The crafts stores here sell "hard felt" I've been using it along with whats left of the original mesh for filters on some of my Macs. Its cheap, and seems to do the job ok.

Here is the Saw in my avatar after being worked over by the chainsaw guy.

How much did he charge you for that??

 

[Kensie1988]

Right at $250 shipped right back to me, not bad at all considering the work that was done.
