If they have a good ignition that's about half the battle. Of my recent 5 Super XLs I think only one of them has spark. Can't really complain, they were given to me..

The generator I found on the roadside two years ago . It runs perfectly but I found that since the side covers were all busted the gas tank was vibrating. It eventually ripped the gas line
When I found it
And now .I ordered all the skins for it

EU7000is propane conversion for a customer. First fire on propane hasn’t seen a drop of gasoline other than at the factory.
Cleaned up a couple more Mono saws today to move into the display.
This is a Mono branded O&R...runs on prime...
This is a Mono 660, direct drive saw with the Power Products 5.8 In3 engine. Very low hours but stored in horrible conditions for many years. I did not pop the flywheel to access the points so no spark. Remarkably clean inside.
For some reason they equipped it with that same odd, short spark plug found on the BP-1 and some Homelite XL12 models.

Fuel injection gasoline to propane? Interesting, how does the conversion work on this?
All you need to do is unplug the fuel injector. This is a tri-fuel kit so natural gas, propane, gasoline. When you wanna switch back to gasoline just plug the injector back in.

Well that's easy! Wasn't sure if for some reason having the injector disconnected would throw a "code" or cause it to not want to run. Or maybe they designed it with alternate fuel conversion planned...
Yeah they run great on propane and natural gas. Disconnecting the fuel injector doesn’t cause any problems as long as it’s getting fuel from another source.
My hardworking Bandit 65 getting a well deserved make over.
Wheel guards belts fresh paint. im happy the bearings shafts frame Kohler donk and shackles are in good order.

My new - used Greenfield mower need to be tided up as a few things NQR. The seat adjustment strangely was MIA so i scavenged the bits of the old dead mower but need to bespoke the parts and attachments to make it work
and neighbors home use husky what POS
Some cool stuff that I never heard of in this thread.
The Polaris Trailblazer is finished! Only a grand total of $775.... not really bad but........
3120XP was on my bench, now it’s in time out. Customer got half a tank worth of use out of it, died and wouldn’t restart. Long story short clutch side crank seal leaks pressure but saw will hold vacuum. Got Husqvarna involved on this one so we’ll see how that goes.
Well, of the 5 XL12 and Super XL saws I finally put together one which will probably run. I may have a pic of the ugly thing later. I put a little fuel in the carburetor and it popped a few times. Being greedy, I'm gonna try to make one other runner if possible. The XL12 saws that didn't have any spark might not need a coil if they have points, which I haven't checked yet. It's gonna be close whether I get another saw out of this mess because about all these saws need the same things.
Four more saws to work on now; 3 Stihls and a Dolmar 510. The Stihls are: an 025 of course a hard starting one, an MS290, and an 034. The Dolmar tag says it doesn't run right, guess that could be anything..
The plant manager where I work is bringing me a Husqy saw to look at. A coworker has a power screed for concrete with a Mantis tiller style engine for tune up and fuel lines. I am still trying to find the fuel leak on that Homelite Old Blu..... if it even has 1!
My SW-51 project has been on the back burner. Got bearings and seals in case halves, stuck the crank in the FW side and that's where she sits...... poor thing.....

We got a really big bench at work..... along with a really big and costly repair....
Every gear, bearing and some shafts have to be made from scratch. 4-6 months projected time. Some of the steel may have to come from Germany I heard. A complete new unit would be a year or more out with a price tag of $700,000 - $1.2 million.
Marshalltown - perhaps they should have shut that machine down a bit sooner...
