[flatsfisher]

does anyone know of a service manual that addresses the electronic ignition systems of the late model 10-10 saws? I asked in the beg thread and Ray is not aware of one. thanks.

Mark ,if you're seeing this, let me know where you posted that earlier about the craftsman saw parts. Can't find it anywhere.

I don't have a "Special Edition" 10-10s. It's so sad really, I don't know where I would get the parts to keep it going if I found one.

I like the clean ones, I do! I found a 10-10S at a local auction house. I knew the man who owned it personally. It was about as perfect as a ran saw gets. I paid more than I should have but its mine now. Another shelf Queen.

The 57cc models (PM55, 555, 570, 10-10S, 10-10S Special Edition) have more aggressive porting than the 54 cc 10 Series models and perform much better. I'm sure someone that has studied them very carefully could identify a number of differences but I can't say much off the top of my head.

As noted the early models (55, 555, 570) were iron bore and points ignition but there were also transition models of the 555 and 570 with electronic ignition. I don't know if there were transition chrome bore saws but the 10-10S models were all chrome bore and electronic ignition. Some early pistons did not have the locating pins for the rings and you cannot always depend on an IPL to give you the correct data for your saws unless you match the model and serial number from the IPL to the saw in question.

The PM570 is the AV version of the 57cc saws.

The Special Edition models frequently were equipped with more socket head fasteners (hex or Torx).

If everyone will send me their NOS and NIB 57cc saws I promise will carefully catalog all of the differences and publish my findings for all to enjoy. I probably won't remember to send your saws back...

I am boxing all 9 of my NOS NIB 57cc saws up now Mark. Just wait for UPS to drop them by one day lol.

I might have. Give me some time to dig into my service manuals and tech updates.

between the peeling and the fading, I think I'm gonna go ahead and paint this thing. some of the black parts have peeling also. in for a penny right? also need to bead blast and treat the peeling fuel tank.

Sounds like a good chance to put an older lightweight tank on it

More weight

[flatsfisher]

oh hell no. I don't think I'm going to put $124.00 in parts on my $50.00 saw to save a few ounces of weight.

Fair enough it works out nearly 2 n a half pounds.

An old cheap 10-10 parts saw be the go

I don't think the entire fuel tank weighs 2 1/2 lbs. it is heavier than the tank on the SP70.

Na not the tank. But the entire chassis. All the bits are a bit than a kg extra from memory. From a 7-10 to a 700 or any PM saw. Even the air filter lid

 

[bob kern]

Can anyone throw me bone on this from one lone pic??

 

[mogulmasher]

Looks just like my super 44. Air cleaner lid is on backwards.

 

[vinnywv]

Id say 44 also. Older buttons and fuel cap. Cant see auto oiler. Not a gear drive. No rubber on the hamdle.
