Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Haven't said much since being home, but I've been having a blast. Ms361 is getting shelved again. Need a saw that works and that's obviously not one currently. Carb did not solve the problem so back to the board. The Jonsered 510 is in rough shape, so I don't know what I'm doing with that one. Homelite 350 needs a new carb boot and a starter cup. Mac 10-10 is getting cleaned up and will be getting a full wrap soon. Making good progress, but not exactly where I had hoped. Homelite XL needs a few minor parts and should run easily.

Where did you get a full wrap for the 10-10?

I think someone is making them

Heimann had made some, hopefully he has some left. Still have to order them.

Pics of the Jred. Undecided as to what I should do with it. Needs a new muffler, piston and cylinder is questionable, and it is in need of new antivibe all around. It has some mag rot from concrete contact as well. Thoughts? No bad feeling towards the seller either, I knew it was this rough when I bought it.

How bad is the rot, and what is it gonna cost for the parts, that's the question.

I havent seen him around lately on here or Facebook come to think of it.

Hope he's ok I haven't been able to reach him with a pm or his cell for a couple weeks now.

I don't know how much you paid for it, but if the magnesium casing is so damaged as to qualify as "rot", I would turn that saw into parts. A 510SP is not such a rare and/or valuable saw as to justify all the effort going into a saw with damaged casing and parts for those late 70's Jonsereds seem to fatch a fair price here.

I only paid for shipping so I could care less. Mag rot is not bad, but both tanks would need to be sealed. I would love to have it run again, but it's cost prohibitive after I looked at parts. That's assuming the cylinder and piston is salvageable as well. Looking like I might part it out and look for another mid 40cc rear handle.

I hit him up on his cell the other day too with no reply.

Find you the same saw again and you’ll have spare parts at least

That said, does anyone have a good vintage saw ideas that I should be looking at around 45 cc? I really liked that Jred because of the weight, antivibe and chainbrake.

Poulan 3300

Don't know if can find one with a brake unless you get a orange Canadian model.

Homelite VI Super Mini. I would give an arm and leg for a nice one.

Echo CS 452VL, Tanaka ECS 415, Sachs-Dolmar 110, Solo 616...

 

[s sidewall]

With part available and decent prices, that should be thrown in there also.

Yes, for sure. Lots of nice small saws, but they are cost prohibitive to keep running.
