Anyone recognize this porting?

Either the case or jug is warped? Is Permatex 2A as gummy as Permatex Motoseal?

I checked the jug but not the case yet...
I'm not sure about the gummyness.
I've never used either before.
It's my first time[emoji12]

Sounds strange that the base is leaking. Is there a pin hole in the jug?

It's definitely the base. Soapy water bubbling on two sides.

Make sure the cylinder extensions ain't bottoming out in the case.......and look carefully for any place that the transfer bulges might be contacting the case. Anytime a jug is lowered, ya gotta look closely at these things.

Hmm. Now that you mention it, the cylinder extensions were removed on the jug that was on there...
If they are hitting should I remove them completely or just file them enough to fit?

 

[Mastermind]

Just enough to allow the jug to sit flat. If they were the issue, up might have warped the corners when it was tightened down.

You were spot on!
The jug

The case

You seem like your talking from experience.

Unfortunately it won't be til Sunday.
My beautiful wife is having a tag sale at her cousins. I just spent 3 hours loading up the truck. We need to be there at 7am and it's an hour away.
Oh well.... It ain't going nowhere....

Progress! A tiny bit of work with a file and the jug is down tight. Much better but still not holding vacuum. It comes down slow now. Oil seal behind oil pump was leaking. Fly wheel side is good. When I pulled oil pump the spring from the seal was just sitting there. And the rubber on the seal gas an impression on it from the spring. So I don't think it was installed properly.
Now I've got to get a few parts...

On these old saws it is best to replace the seals before you run them I have found this on about every one I have pulled down. Good luck she will be a beast when you are finished.

Do I need to split the case to change the flywheel side?

 

[rattler362]

You don't have to split the case to change it seal can be removed just be careful

Ok great, I was a little worried about it.
Thank you!

 

[Paragon Builder]

But I'm sure I'll be needing to do it soon enough.
Can't stop playing with saws... They just keep coming.

You are Welcome

Here is a pic of the seal with the impression of the spring from being installed improperly.

Got the new seal in and she's holding a vacuum now. [emoji106]
Working on getting her back together now.

Show me someone hasn't ever made a mistake, and I'll show you someone who has never tried to do anything new to them.

All back together! Fired up nice got her warmed up and dialed her in. Couple cuts and she started racing....
Yup I forgot to top her off....
Scared me for a sec!
Seems to be running real nice. Idles smooth, throttle response is a tad slow but maybe I can richen up the low a hair. Plenty of power in the cut.

Time to get some chains sharpened!
