Is this work fixing? would require a parts saw find, bottom handle mount area is broke.

I am missing what is broke. If it is not the cylinder or tank, the rest should be easy and inexpensive. Ron

Just a bottom and chain guard. All kinds of 10-10 parts out there cheep.

My problem with buying a part saw is almost all of mine end of being project saws. So far only two have remained parts saws. Nonetheless parts saws with good parts can be cheaper than buying a part at a time.

Thanks for the info on the oil pump. I'll keep my eyes open for one.

As for my other 10-10S issues, I guess the fuel line, fuel filter, and air filter did not help. It ran great for a couple big cuts and then started acting up again. Does it when hot or cold. I guess replacing the coil is my next step.

Time to rebuild the carb. Get a kit that has the gaskets and diaphragms. Clean all passages with carb cleaner.

We didn't get a good look at the bottom of the 10-10 with the hole broken, we might be able to conger up a fix for it..

Anyone got a cylinder for a PM55 they want to part with?

 

[rwoods]

Brian, I believe you have developed a full blown case of yellow fever, specifically the 10-10 variant. Ron

Now that your camera works, let's see that 101B SP125. Ron

My 55 started running poorly today. I had bought it and cleaned the carb and put into service not realizing that someone had put the clutch back on without the washer that holds the clutch bell from hitting the case. Well it ate the case. It was still running with the crank seal gone. No wonder I could not get it to tune right. I knew I was going to break it down this winter and replace the crank seals and new rings but never knew the crank seal was gone. Cannot see anything of it. Must have been gone before I got it. From now on if I get a saw I am going to check it over good before I put it into service.

Having never replaced a chainsaw's ignition assembly (coil) I didn't realize that there is a gap to be maintained between the flywheel and the coil. So I didn't measure the old one before removing. Can anyone tell me what this gap should be set at for a 1982 10-10S that uses the 95553 (superceded by 223708) coil? Is it specific, like a spark plug, or just "as close as possible without actually touching the flywheel"?

Thanks!
Rob

Rule of thumb is to set the gap with a business card...

FLYWHEEL/COIL AIR GAP:

0.011 to 0.015 in. (0.3 to 0.4 mm)

Thanks folks. Got the coil changed and the saw runs the same still. Starts fine, revs good for a little bit, but when cutting a log it starts to die out. I guess carb rebuild is next.

The good news though is that the Pro Mac 700 I picked up recently that didn't start now starts fine with the carb from my 10-10S. Didn't try cutting with it since I think the jetting is probably different, but it was nice to see the saw runs.

You must start them early.

That power products saw that is behind the mac on the bench, what company made that one?

Thanks. Saw carb or kart carb? Ron

 

[BigBlue]

Any walkthroughs for doing a carb cleaning/rebuild? I have a Walbro kit on the way for both my 10-10S and the new 700. I think they both need carb TLC.

Thanks,
Rob
