If the Saw was set up for under water use it would not need a means to oil the bar because the water would be the lubricant

Well, this has an oiler that goes through the sproket

Does look funny to have a tan rooster tail coming up out of the water.

I got lucky this year, we have 6 trees in the creek and dad kept putting it off for us to get them out, plus my chest waders have a few holes in them.

So I plugged the governor on the Lancaster carb...
It's way happy now!

Anyone got a link for the closing the Tilly HL carb governer? Might have to give that a go on the Mac 250 as that was one of the things giving me grief on the saw.

That's like the 5200 that in the works, has a govern carb, was told to install the 4200 carb I have cause it has no governor.

This looks like a David Bradley 5G21, they made two different displacements for these saws, One had the AH-47 motor at 77cc's and the other had the AH-81 motor at 130cc's. But since all of the placards are missing and there are no logos you would need to pull the muffler and measure the bore to be certain. AH-47 50.8mm bore and the AH-81 is 63.5mm

Slight chance it could also have an AH-58 @ 95cc...

@Mac&Homelite take the governor plug out of the carb, and put a little round piece of a soda can in the bottom of the hole. Reinstall the governor plug with some removable thread locker and good to go.

P.S., aluminum from a Spiked Mountain Dew can works best, gives the saw extra power. [emoji23] [emoji106]

I passed on this tonite. #1 , Just bought a used Echo 590 today, sometimes the wife’s sense of humor ain’t good. #2, my Jred 2166 is about my weight limit.

You need to go back and get that!!! My favorite saw in the group [emoji51]

Want me to see if it’s “Stihl” available and ship it to you?

Heh...

If I didn’t have my third boy being born in a week I’d say heck yeah. I’d love to have another. But him “not knowing” if it runs leads me to believe the ignition on that one needs repair or replaced. I could be wrong though.
But man I do love the 056magII

I hear you there. Parts are easier to justify for me personally, even if entire saws are cheaper.

Ehh, I'm more of an Arizona guy myself. My brain is fried from homework today, but what plug would I remove on the Tilly HL carb? Only one is the main jet and the high/low screw that I remember from working on it.

If you change your mind let me know. Worst that could happen is he tells me it’s gone.

I can’t tell you the temptation in my mind right now. My adhd impulsiveness is wearing on me. I got mine for $150. If he came down to that I’d do it again lol. But man I love the 056magII.

Congratulations Lee! What goes wrong on the ignitions with those saws anyway? Can't they be retrofitted with a nova module?

I don’t know of any retrofitting. The Bosch ignitions, I believe, on them were known for going out. There’s a thread on repairing them though. You try to buy a good ignition and you could be laying around $250 for that alone lol.
