Kinda like putting the chain on backwards.

Actually it only looks that way because I ground it down on the bottom so the saw would sit flat. I plan on lopping the top spike off. Otherwise the saw sits on a slant because the dog is longer than the saw and that's annoying.

I've done that before, I have a bad habit of putting the chain on the bar, then deciding to flip the bar over without moving the chain

Never put a chain on backwards so far. It's waiting to happen though...

Thanks-Like cad years ago when the Coleman bug bit I gathered up more lanterns and stoves than I NEED. Still pick up a rare or uncommon one now and then--Use them-loan then -give them to people who start out camping--All leave my hands with a lifetime repair-If it stops working-Bring it back for free repair by me!! Forever-----David--Any body needs to know history,repair,parts on old colemans they have just ask. I encourge people to use the old stuff--it last a lifetime

Got my dad's old cook stove and lanterns from the early 70's.

Steve

Get them out and fired up-not hard.

So today was a successful day. Got a couple duckbill valves put in. Was super happy when the retainer clip was still in the craftsman's cap, but that didn't last long. Was prying it out and almost had it and plink, under the bench it went. Out came the big magnet and I eventually found it. That will teach anyone to keep a clean shop when you nearly lose those small parts. Other big accomplishment, not saw related, was I FINALLY got my outboard to run for more than a minute! Ran pretty good, but still had some strange rpm surges. That's minor though, it stops, starts, and runs! I also rounded up a john boat so I will for sure be going out for some fun on the lake this summer. Only took 3 years... and more $ than I care to admit.

Is that retainer like a little star washer-Found 1 In tank on my poilan 25DA??

Daves here-every body leaves-----Pull up some Neil Young tonight--been a while

 

[46 Poulan]

Cooked the buttercats caught at camp and some catfish fillets tonight.Home made slaw and hush puppies--Dads old school-prefers bone in catfish.That poulan 3400 is the fastest to start old saw I have ever seen. It may rate higher than a homelite super xl 12--TIME will tell--future test---both with bows on----Dig it!!!

 

[46 Poulan]

Hook up the 1/2 inch chains--me and Neil pullin this thread back up to the top--Did I ever tell yall I like pullin the string on a 2 stroke--Like the song says (Country music) Old johnson runs 6 oz. of oil to the gallon--I like the smoke--never fouls a plug-water cooled--You can lean highspeed screw to max for top rpm-will not hurt a thing-pretty cool

Yes it is. The saw is so much more enjoyable to use now without fuel spilling around everywhere. Only cost me $5 for that little tiny valve.

Paul Harvey would call that a a a True Value--He was good at what he did
