Can you ID this old Husqvarna?

[jlambe5]

I know this is a shot in the dark and I'm hoping for a miracle, but can anyone ID this model of chainsaw? It's pretty old and has no model # on it. There's just a serial number on the little metal tag (107150). Any ideas? I'm trying to get it running. It doesn't have any spark, so I'm guessing the coil may be bad. I'm having trouble tearing it apart to get to the coil.

L65 perhaps?

model 65 or L65. Be careful with that flywheel, the fan wheel can come off the rotor if you don't use the correct puller.

Looks like an older model from the 70's, probably an L series saw. Check acresinternet.com

It seems I found that out the hard way. What kind of puller does it take? I used a regular 3-jaw puller I purchased at the auto store.

L65 or L77. I'm thinking more the L65 though.

:agree2:

Is TOMOS mentioned on the number plate?

As you can see in the 4th picture, nothing is legible on the plate except for the stamped serial number (I'm assuming it's the serial #).

I couldn't make out anything there, in the pic - not important anyway if it say TOMOS or not, just interesting.

 

[Zackman1801]

did you steal that from my basement? i have one thats in just about the same condition, but mine dosent run.

 

[jlambe5]

I can't figure out how to get the flywheel off. Any instructions/tips/ideas?

Sorry, no - and that saw isn't worth the trouble, unless it means something special to you......


When the first 65s appeared in the mid 1960s it was pretty good, but it soon became an outdated design (1969, or a tad later). Late production was in Yogoslavia (TOMOS).

I was about ready to give up on this saw a few days ago but then I was able to get the plug to spark. I removed the plug and grounded it to the chassis to test for spark and found that in certain ways I would position the wire, the plug would spark. The plug wire was chewed up in a couple places and had been spliced together so I had planned on replacing it anyway. The wire is very old, hard and brittle anyway. So I decided to keep on working on it thinking that maybe the coil is still good. After making and bending 2 different pullers I finally got the flywheel off. It turned out the wire was barely connected to the coil. I’ve never seen a wire connected to the coil this way. My only experience has been with a few small lawnmower engines where the wire was made into the coil. If I replace the wire, does it just screw into the socket of the coil? Is that a threaded “pin” in the center of the socket? I’m just trying to make sure I’m seeing and thinking correctly. Also, the old wire has some sort of pin in the side of it. Does the new wire need this or can I just get any ignition wire?

hey what a coincidence!. i've just been given a husky identical to yours but mine has not even a serial number on it so thats saved me posting. but what size engine does it have?.
yeh the coil wire just srews down onto the spike in the coil. i would use some good industrial type silicon around it too - just to help stabalize it there.
the hole in the wire looks to me like it has been for the normal spike through the wire type ht connector.
have nt done ant work on mine yet. might get a chance this weekend to see if theres life in the old girl!!

Yes, the wire screws into the socket, the "pin" you see sticking out of the wire is the remains of the old spark plug terminal, it's broken. If it were all there it would have a loop on the end of it that slides onto the plug and would be covered by the rubber cap. Any solid core wire will work as long as it's the right o.d. to fit in the coil.

.....the "pin" you see sticking out of the wire is the remains of the old spark plug terminal, it's broken.....

But this is the end of the wire that goes on the coil.

 

[pioneerguy600]

But this is the end of the wire that goes on the coil.

If that is the way it came off then someone has turned the wire end for end while trying to do an ineffective repair job to the spark plug wire. That pin hole does go to the coil spring like sparkplug connector that is found inside the rubber cap that snaps over the end of the sparkplug.They can be purchased as a complete unit at small engine shops.

Good to know. Thanks everyone for the help. Hopefully I can get this thing running.
