Antique saw thread

[Rx7man]

Kinda like in my tape measure.. except that thing was in about 500 pieces.. I was really surprised to see that. If I really need to, I have a piece of 1" wide recoil spring from spindle handle of a milling machine, I think I'd be able to make it work.. It's heavier, and shorter, but I should be able to get 4 turns of recoil action out of it pretty easily before it binds up

So does this thing have an automatic clutch?

So does this thing have an automatic clutch?

The Titan Blue Streak came in both manual and automatic clutch versions. The manual machine is easily identified by the L/H handle grip which will rotate (if it is not seized) to engage the clutch via a cable arrangement. The auto model does not have this feature. You can also check out the bottom of the transmission and you will see if it has the clutch lever /cable mechanism.

OK so it does have an auto clutch I guess.. this was a MODERN saw

Thanks... Now some mufflers on it, perhaps a gearbox oil change and some TLC on the bar/chain/end grip, and it should be good to go!

How wide x thickness x length was the original spring?
A pic of each end will help.

I have several old springs that can be re-purposed to work.

OPE repair shop south of town has a peg board with a wide variety of rewind springs. Dates from back in the '60's.

If/when I take it apart again, I'll measure it.. width is about 1/2", probably about .020" thick, darned long with a very specific looking middle..

Them old mag saws really had character,can`t say that for the homogeneous plastic versions of today`s saws.

Some are 'stylish' like the old ones.
