Kevin, I think that I misspoke, the material was for an oiler diaphragm, not a gasket. You could try contacting fossil for the details.

I'm always leary of a saw without a sparkplug... but you never know.....you guys will love this story!! I picked up a 630 off ebay a couple yrs ago...nothing special..add said engine stuck...no sparkplug......don't remember the price but was cheep......it came and I looked down the plug hole....full of fuzz and crap so I blew it out with air and tried to turn it over...nope...stuck tight....didn't look bad in through the ex port..piston was near TDC so I filled the top end with Seafoam "Deep Creep" and walked away for a couple days....came back... seafoam was gone.....tried to turn it over with a wrench.....nope... So I added more and waited a couple days with the same end results. By then I was determined and took out the cyl bolts.......cyl slid right off!! The main bearings were rusted tight!! Piston wasn't stuck in the cyl at all!!! I think it was a saw from one of those poor folks in the Midwest you see on the news with just the ridge of their house sticking out of the flood waters. The cyl was near perfect and I used that on a very sweet 630V (Electric heated handles) and most of the other parts have also been utilized.....but not the cases or crank!!!
Kevin,
The material for the diaphragms is nylon reinforced nitrile. The stuff we bought was for oiler diaphragms which is 0.017" thick.
I don't see why you couldn't use some kraft paper and coat it with the Motoseal or equivalent on both sides.

I've used the oiler diaphragm twice and must say it works very well. Almost too well as there is plenty of oil flowing.
Tim,
Yeah that was the upshot of all the reading/research I did;find a suitable paper size and coat it both sides. I'm not against that if nothing else can be found.

Crazy me, I bought a bar before I got the saw running. $38 from sawagain, 24" Windsor Speedtip

...Robin, you sure you didn't buy from the same seller I did that apparently deals in 'underwater' saws??! My whole crankcase was full of clear water. At least you got a sound piston & jug...that's usually worth the price of a parts saw if you got it cheap enough.Kevin

And a new sticker.
You gotta have 10mm space there for the bar studs to fit and make sure you have the right oil hole pattern for the 90. Old Husky bars are really easy to modify and are about 9.5mm-oil holes are fine. I modified one Oregon bar that Bailey's sent me a few yrs ago...never do that again without access to the proper mill work.

I've seen those for sale...do they appear to be decent quality?

Yup. It fits, I just tried it!!!

They seem decent. Paid $6. I'll probably know better when I peal it and stick it on the cover.
Should be somewhat oil & gas resistant I would think....dunno if the new ones are. You're sure putting a little bar on the 90....it will hate you for that.

heh, this 90 is just begging me to run it again with a manly bar. I got my new rings today too, all I need is a cyl gasket.Should be somewhat oil & gas resistant I would think....dunno if the new ones are. You're sure putting a little bar on the 90....it will hate you for that.

I'll get that in the mail in th mail to you today.....sorry for the delay...been a completely crazy week here......
Awesome and Robin will fix ya up on that one. I'm going to experiment with different papers and coatings on that gasket.
I've got a 36" bar waiting to be tried on the 90...I have my doubts it will pull skip-tooth .404 chisel that long...that's why I never put it on. Pulls a 32" with .404 though just fine. 30" and .404 chisel is the max for the 80 and the 90 is not that much bigger. Doesn't really matter because the Husky 2100 will run anything bigger than 32"..it's all a win here.

That Winsor is a heck of a nice bar at a good price!!! Looks like you got the last one he had too.....went looking there for a 24" or 28" for my 910 project.....nope "not available"........

I kept checking that price and I just couldn't turn it down. I see they still have a jug for a 90 at $169. I'm so tempted to buy it for attic stock.

Not a problem Robin, I'm just excited to find one. I'm very appreciative of your offer.
