Remington Chainsaws(including Mall chainsaws)

[cbfarmall]

Hey fellas! I just acquired a automatic oiler remington and for the life of me I can't pinpoint exactly where the duckbill check valve is. I am leaning towards part #37 as to where it's located. I enclosed the ipl. Thanks and appreciation in advance.

Yes, part 37 is it. There is a screen and check valve in there. You have to remove the flywheel to unscrew it from the tank.

Finally got around to the pics of this old dinosaur!

I got the Monkey Wards 4.0 yesterday & went through it briefly.It has good compression,but no spark.It could be dirty points,or a bad switch,but I'm leaning towards a bad condenser.When I get a littlle time on my hands next week I'll go through it more.

Has to be points, that saw was super clean with little use.

Holy heck sawbawss. A Robin egg blue super 754/bantam hybrid I have no clue what saw that is. recoil and front handle 754 no bottom plate/rear handle support like a bantam. Thanks for sharing that it definitely a super cool saw!!! What carb does it have? That may help us narrow down the model. Super 754 had tilly hl159a super 660 and bantams had carter ND or NRD.

The pl7a arrives today, I don't have many tools here since I'm moving but I will try and pull the muffler and look for spark as well.

Thanks CB!!! much appreciated. I'm pretty new on repairing saws, thanks again for sharing your knowledge. I should have the saw today and will start going through it in the next week or so. Take care, and thanks again!!!

Found some tillotson information, not sure if it helps anyone or not.

That old dinosaur looks like it has a hardnose mall bar on it. Or an early homelite.

Hi guys,it's been a while since I've been on this sticky.Lots of other brand saws to work on.
A big hello to our newest member Matthew D.from across the pond! I've read about your dilemma with the broken cup on the FM starter.Homelite used those starters as well & I belong to a Homelite forum.Leon of Leon's Chainsaw Parts & Repair is the administrator of that forum.There was a member there who made his own starter cup from parts he bought at a hardware store for around $10.That was a few yrs.ago & I'd have to hunt up that thread later in the week & hopefully post a link.

I bought a real nice Monkey Wards 4.0 yesterday for $85 on Feebay.The saw is in really good shape & is supposed to have great compression.Only time will tell.Here's a pic from the seller.

Thanks for the welcome. If you could post a link to that starter cup thread I would be grateful.

Yep that's the one, but with shipping it would be about $60, which is more than I'd want to pay. If I was going to buy an NOS one I'd get one from Leon's, it's about $35.

Pl7a looks good.

I will look here in a little while, got to get another saw Im working on off the bench.

 

[SawBawss]

Actually found that model tag! Just took a little wiping down to find!

 

[Brufab]

I'm perplexed. It does have a hl159a by the looks of it. Possibly missing the muffler, where that piece of screen is on the underside. That had to be one loud saw running. Cars and saws were pretty cool back in the 60's

 

[SawBawss]

I will do some digging on it, but I don't think it is missing anything. What gas mix do these take? I might throw some fuel in it and see what it does.

 

[Brufab]

I run red armor 32:1 rec fuel. But 40 or 50 to 1 would work for a prime test

 

[Brufab]

My pl7a starter cup like brand new other than it's cracked all the way around. Is there another remington saw that would have a compatible starter cup?

 

[SawBawss]

Ouch! That crack is scary looking!
