I think 797 needles will work. I believe I have a 740 or 797 with a MC100 kart motor installed. I'll send you a PM. Thanks!

Same needles I have. MC100 is a very nice motor. Kinda rare actually as they were
only made one year before the 101 debut in 1967. I have one saw with a MC100 in
it and two with the MC75's in then. The 75's and 100's are the same motor @ 120cc's
just built in different years.

I was thinking it looked like a 7-29 or 8-29 with that pistol grip and the green engine housing.

Those are some fine resto jobs you do there @leeha!

Thanks Kensie, Randy's saw is a 5-30 as it has the small oil tank. 7-29 and 8-29 have
a larger oil tank that is flush with the gear case cover.

That's good to know, a better identifier than just the handle and colors.

I was pretty stoked once I found out what kind out what it was. I ordered a new piston for it but it is too big. . The rings fit and the ring gaps look fine, so I am just going to use the new rings with my old piston. It's kinda weird that the rings fit the bore fine.

Did this come from one of my CAD brothers in here? She needs a little resto but man what a great looking saw! So happy to own one of the original Echos when the name was Kyoritsu!

5-30 and 7-29.View attachment 602696

Ok now I'm confused lol is the 7-29 wearing a 5-30 recoil?

 

[RandyMac]

That 5-30 showed a bunch of battle damage, it was donated to a small museum near Eureka, CA.
The 7 and 8-29s share a lot of parts with the 5-30s.

 

[RandyMac]

Daymn, I killed two threads in one try.
Oh well, back to the Batcave.

 

[LonestarStihl]

Hahahaha no worries i don't think you alone could kill this train lol. I don't know enough about all those models so I just read along and say"oooooooo....hmmmmmmm....ahhhhhhh" [emoji51]

 

[RandyMac]

Dig in bucko, there are tons of interesting, if not useful chainsaws out there.

 

[LonestarStihl]

Feel free to send em my way. They will have a warm room and see plenty of loving attention. I know my 10-10 doesn't like sleeping alone at night. Give em some company.
