True. I'm curious because the saw pictured is from the George Blake collection, & a lot folks consider him to be the Jonsered guy.

I do as well and I think anything he's going to work on would be 100% original. But there's that factor that even he may not have had all the parts available.

The cylinder is 54mm and both it and the piston are good to go. There is some carbon build up on the top of the piston and a bit on the respective cylinder area, but not too much and both areas should clean up nice.
The choke lever was unhooked and the choke plate was stiff, but that should be an easy fix.
The only other thing that I noticed was that a ground (? black) wire was loose where it plugs into the coil. The wire pulled free from the female spade terminal.
So it looks like a new plug, some new fuel lines, and a carb kit should put me in a position to fire it up once I read up on the tests that I have to do.
The chain is worn, but the bar looks to be in great shape so overall this is starting to look like a quick repair.
Thanks

Now all he needs to do is e-mail George and buy a thin-ring piston...
if your trying to find parts for it, bama gave me a great list of people who deal with "obsolete j'reds' parts
Looks just like my 90 but that one has a chain brake, great saw.opcorn:

I came across that name when I was doing a search today.
After I get more into the saw and have a list of required parts I will definitely be looking to email him. The piston looks to be in great shape. Can I not just put new rings on and re-use the piston?
Thanks

Yep. That is what I do, unless the piston is scored. I've used George many times.
And George is???
And his email is??
I could use a new/used decomp for my 90 as it is missing the 'KNOB'

Those chain brakes are a dealer add-on (around here through Tilton). They were not stock. I find them on 621 and 801 a lot. My 801 and 51 both have them. They don't lock on, they push down on the clutch drum and ground out the engine. The saw stalls and the chain slows to a stop.
And just so you know, a lot of the 801 parts will work on your 90.

That was new info - but I guess they were supplied by Jonsereds as an option, as new saws has been reported to have come with them, and not only in North America.

everyone else got it already, damn. it is a 90 for sure. Same frame as the 801 but has a decomp sticking out the top.
George's e-mail is: [email protected]
He's a real good guy to deal with.
This is real good info and history on these saws.
