My actual hero...
Have another MS90A on the way from the motherland. Lousy pictures, but it looks like serial number of 605.
Also have a deal pending on a parts saw, also MS90A.
I'm not really a Husky collector, but having a hard time passing these up.
I had a bultaco matador 250. Call it THE BEAST!
On my haul I got a 41 which is a 40cc version of your 36cc saw.
The performance may be like a poulan 2150 except it is an antivibe chassis and it had the "air injection" which the centrifugal dust seperator on the flywheel/ induction system. The 41 chain was 325 or 3/8lp and acres site says the 36 is 3/8lp only ( may not be correct?)
Interesting tidbit, the flywheel is a 3 segment magnet...why? Still looking into this. magnetic sequence is S-N-S

I picked this up over the weekend. Not too sure what it is, I suspect its a 280 or 380 or 180, but don't know how to tell. It has a magnesium starter housing, and a push button kill switch. Castings look to be in great shape, but its going to need to be stripped and re painted I think. Can anyone tell me what size the crank seals and bearings are so that I can get them on order?

Its been stripped down, bead blasted, painted and is slowly going back together with new bearings, seals and gaskets. I've determined its a 280S
Nice saw, pretty swift turnaround too..

Thanks, Yeah, I did manage to turn this one around fast. Didn't need much fortunately. Seals haven't arrived yet so its still not done.
I find that it takes around 8 to 12 hours of continuous work to get the whole saw taken apart, cleaned and degreased, sand blasted, masked and primed. Then wait a day or so and spray the color. So really its just one long day on the weekend and a few hours to spray the orange. Luckily I don't have any other obligations in life yet.
Re-assembly doesn't take long once all the parts are clean. I think I had the bottom end buttoned up in 30 minutes, and the rest together in another 2 hours or so? lots of double checking I haven't missed anything.
I have a question about the hole in the case above and to the right of the fuel filler cap. What is supposed to go in there? A rubber buffer was my guess, but the IPL is super dark and blurry so I can't even tell what it looks like. Does anyone have a photo of what its supposed to be?
Not a clue about the hole. I thought it married up with the other side and was a slot for a crankcase bolt or something..
I also find it pretty easy to turn a saw around. May main issue is getting parts and the money. Here is my 038 mag. I have used AM recoil, tank and covers till I can find the original ones on the web. I know it's not a husky..

Still waiting on the seals, but cleaned the bar up last night. I also need some bar plates. Does anyone know if bar plates from a 61 or other husky would work?
The chain that came on this saw was pretty much shot, sharp, but with barely any tooth left.

Also was playing around with the oil pump gear on my 50, I think this is the correct position for it on the crank.
Can anyone explain to me exactly how the oil pump works? its a shaft that has a flat cut on the end of it that turns around and moves in and out of the casing, similar to stihls I think.

Models vary but the concept is the same, small rotating piston (#9) turned by the worm gear fed from crank or sprocket drum. Adjustment of the piston in or out gives a higher or lower capacity in the pump bore.
Variations also include slanted piston end or cut out end (as seen in this diagram)
Helical gear #5 works with worm gears #3 to turn motion 90 degrees.

Thanks for the diagram, Im more interested in what the piston should be doing (moving in or out) when the flat part of the shaft rotates past the pick up, vs past the passage to the bar pad. It seemed that the aftermarket oiler I got was just pressurizing the oil tank instead of pumping oil.
