Can anyone tell me if the air vent on the oil tank is serviceable/replaceable? It’s a Wards 5.0 (pl-55). It doesn’t seal & leaks a lot of oil. I tried cleaning it with no improvement. The ball is free & the spring feels soft but I’m not sure if that’s normal.
I have gone through the entire...
Is this the flywheel?

I’m pretty sure the recoil spring is mounted behind the flywheel on that saw. The 245 is the same way. Pull off the flywheel & see what’s there. Hopefully you just need to rewind it.
I got this project XL-123 from Steve, @svk. It was obviously a well liked saw as it saw some use. I replaced what was needed & have a good running example from that series.
Wow, that is expensive. I’m kind of the same way even though I don’t cut wood like you. I’ll spend what I need to keep a saw running even if it doesn’t get run very much.
I really like my JD 56. I had to put replace the P/C on mine & it was not easy to find. Plus, shipping from Italy tends to be expensive, even by Hawaii standards.
Is this the part you’re looking for?
I just looked & I have an extra one. It had a tiny tear where it goes in the housing but I put a little Seal All on it & it should be good. I will give it to you if you want it...
