I forget a lot of things but looking at that last picture I posted, I think Chris's 451 was setup like that clutch and I think we did add a couple more shoes to it and turned it into a 6 shoe clutch.

What's on the crate? 34, 37, or a 4000?

Picked one of these up today for my favorite price . I am now the 3rd owner.
I know zero about these. But, as advertised, it did not run. Pulled the carb (pretty easy) and slotted the needles to accept a flat blade screwdriver. I know I should buy a proper driver. Monkeyed around with the settings and found that the original 2 turns on both L & H were way too lean? Quite a bit richer now and it seems happy.
I didn't cut with it yet but my first impressions are: 1. Easy/smooth to start/restart. 2. Oils well 3. AV seems decent 4. Found a cool scrench holder under the footpad
I imagine these would be really zippy with a 0.325" 16" setup.

Surprising saws for sure..., even at $189 if you actually paid for one.
Been heavy into my Macs lately and decided to change shades of yellow today with the newest addition to the jellybean collection. My favorite price, too. Dirty as sin with the usual fuel line issues and disintegrated air filter but is cleaning up nice and is in real good shape. Didn't realize these were 38cc chrome bore micros until today. Pretty cool. The 'Control Tip' bar is weird, tho. Not a banana bar, but has different rails at the tip with one seemingly normal and the other having a bevel and being higher just around the tip. Not enough wear on the bar for it to be from abuse. Maybe a manufacturing defect? Maybe it's supposed to be the way it is? My first inclination is to grind/file it down even with the 'normal' rail. Sorry for the lousy pic. The odd rail is on the left if you can make out what I mean...
Nice score Poge.
My best friend got me one of those out of a dump. Nice little saws. I had to trade to get an AF cover for it.
Any chance that bar on yours was a sprocket tip? I've come across a few on the little saws that were missing the sprocket or the teeth were worn down to nothing.

Odd fuel lines on those. I suppose you may have seen that in other posts. They are (I guess) a cheap vinyl line with a clear membrane lining of some type. I'm not sure what happens to the membrane when it craps out or if it does over time. I think I would replace what's there with Tygon myself. Maybe the liner is impermeable to gas migrating through the lines? EPA thing??
Just a little hardnose bar on it. Yours is mighty nice also. I see you have the chain brake. Pretty sure that was what made a 180 a 190 unless it was a Canadian feature for the 180 and the 190 was only marketed here. Different muffler cover, too. And notice mine has a different sticker..., and brighter yellow lettering.
Mine is a 180C. 38cc. I understand that some of them may have been a smaller displacement. Our government recognized the common man's stupidity (God bless them (read that as strike them dead)) and we had brakes a long time before you guys did.
We call them carry handles. The older Jonsered (Husky's) didn't fare well in that department. (S**t, my handle fell off!)
