That’s great Mark! Nice pics, this is like an online course “saw breakdown and repair 201”
As a bit of history; that saw is my dads last pro model chainsaw, he is retired now, back home in Nova Scotia. I traded him for an 026 that I wasn’t getting much use out of. I ran the saw for a year or two; it always seemed to have gremlins and was getting to the point where it needed to be replaced. So one day when it wouldn’t start I put it under the workbench instead of on top.
There it stayed for three years, buried under empty oil containers and beer cans (also empty), all but forgotten. Until, one day I found the “Pay it Foward” thread and thought ‘what the heck is that thing under my workbench that keeps causing the used oil containers and beer cans to fall out in front of the bench? Oh yeah, dads oldsaw, who am I kidding, I’m never going to use that old 365 again, maybe someone here would like to tinker with it.’
And so fate brings a tired oldsaw to oldsaw a master tinker.
That’s good.
