Since you brought up duckbills, I put one in the Dayton fuel cap and it whistles under pressure, is it supposed to do that.

I will put new duckbills in all my xl 12 caps-What size is your dayton compared to a poulan saw.Never heard of whistleing.May try a light weight oil in 330--Diaphragm looked good and I soaked it with silicone to soften it .

I'm not 100% sure, I think they are close to the same but the Poulan is longer. I've never heard one do that either but when it's under pressure it just has this slight whistle sound.

I like the wood work-I am not an artist but I think you could use the basic saw pattern and turn it into a bow saw or a different type of saw outlined.Ran the Poulan 361 and s25da. Both had good power-idled good. I run a heavy oil mix in my old saws compared to my new 1--Echo 590. Started my 330 homelite-ran great but chain oiler barely putting out--It has new lines,clean filter,duck bill valve,old pump diaphragm. Thought about thinning out the oil----Any ideas???

Oh I'm no artist either, I wish I was more of one though. The bow saw idea sounds neat, I will have to try that when I can get some time. I think thinning out the oil would probably help, winter oil maybe. I can't imagine it would hurt anything.

[Kensie1988]

Happy new year everyone! Everyone kept falling asleep here so I just gave up and went to bed haha. I wish everyone the best in 2017!

 

[Mac&Homelite]

Happy New Year everyone! Can't complain about 2016, but my gut tells me that 2017 is going to be a way better. I was going to say that I hope everyone finds all the saws they have dreaming of, but I think we all need more help getting the ones we already have to run right. Haha just kidding, CAD is never satisfied, hope you find all the saws and bring them home guys.

ok guys heres the deal, ive been doing some hard thinking lately about my collection. Ive decided i need to put some of them in hands of you guys who are begining thier collections and well enjoy them like i did. I have too many to maintain properly. So that being said these are ready for new homes, im not posting these anywhere else, the same few guys have kept this thread going, i enjoy this one the most. if they all dont sell theyll go back on the shelves i want you guys to have them, on one condition. Dont flip them to make a buck off me i want the guys who want them to keep them and enjoy them. So lets get it who wants what

I did some work earlier on cleaning up someones mess of a dual port muffler on my recently purchased 2159, got it all done and came inside to order some parts and now I'm not allowed to go back outside, something about being my day off. hmmmmmmmmm............ i wanna spend my day off playing with saws!!!!!!

I made my second ever eBay saw purchase $75 shipped how do you guys think I did? It needs a pull start spring and the little cover that goes over the pulley. It's a castor cp65.

It is, I believe it's made by alpina. Now finding the parts I need may be a challenge.

I have no idea what they are worth, but it looks like a fun project none the less. First time I have heard of the brand also. I don't know for sure, but it may not even need a pull spring, my craftsman 2.3 looked like that too when I got it. Another wrap of the cord and all was good. How many cc's does the saw have?

It is 65cc. It should be a good project and a good saw. I wish the recoil cover wasn't missing. I have a 40cc top handle alpina I am working on.
