Yep I gotcha.

Them are why Remington quit making gas powered saws I suspect.

The air filter and chain oiler on them are a cruel joke.

That's interesting, I probably don't want it then, lol

I did have my 038 out today, thats one i spent too much on,but now that its done it runs so good its one of my favorites

I was just rereading this and am so hoping my boat motor ends up like this for me. At least $200 so far on a free project. Oh well, it keeps me out of trouble. Would have rather have spent that money towards a saw, but I was told by an investment person I needed to "diversify" my portfolio.

The oiler uses crankcase pressure to force oil from the tank to the bar mount. The link from the throttle trigger to the carb is supposed to pinch the line shut at idle. But it don't work worth a ****.

The 'air filter' is a swatch of plastic foam stuffed in the cavity with the carb. Filters squat.

Otherwise they run OK.

I can imagine that system is nothing but trouble. I've got too many saws now but I just keep buying them. It's an unusual saw but I just don't need it

The oil tank is mounted above the bar mount. Once the oil flow is started it will syphon the tank dry. That guarantes a puddle on the floor.[emoji90]

Doesn't seem like the engineers though that one out well...

Great design, it always oils, it has no choice haha

So I got my new recoil for the Dayton, having a bit of trouble getting it in, any help would be appreciated haha

I hate when I get a puddle of oil on the floor

I hate when I shake it off and it dribbles down my leg anyway

From personal experience I can assure you we are loathe to build stuff like that.

Most likely the bean counters pushed them into that catastrophe.

The Homelite XL, McCulloch Mini Mac and Poulan top handles are its contemporarys. Tuff competition.

So the trouble I am having is too much slack in the pull rope, should I get some new rope and wind it up in there until I have enough then put a little tension on it then cut it and re attach the handle?

Put the rope in, then pull it all the way out, hold the recoil and give it a couple more wraps, it should be tight then.

Alright I'll try that, by a couple more wraps you mean spin the recoil backwards where it slips over the lip that catches the spring?

 

[brandonstc6]

I think he mean wrap the rope tighter on the pulley

The spring needs to be pretensioned a couple turns then it should be ok

 

[astnmacgto]

When holding the pulley wind the rope back around it a couple times. To make the rope shorter
