Well, it might fit the crank but I need a clutch smaller than the Homie 1050. Looks like 3" diameter is the size. Did they change clutch size when they changed paint colors?
I checked compression - 105. Did not check timing yet.

Fairly new to this website. I have a Remington Super Yardmaster, which looks just like the Mighty mite. Having trouble getting the housing split, seems to be too tight, like I'm still missing a bolt or screw, but cannot find one. Would you be willing to send me the ipl and sm? Or maybe advise on what I might be missing, like hidden type connector.Mighty Mites are awesome little saws. I love to run mine. The good news is, they are very simple to work on. A mighty mite is actually the first saw I ever tore into. You can find parts saws for these very easy and cheap. The bad news is, a oem filter, and the plastic filter cover are very hard to find.
If you decide you want to fix it up, send me a PM. I have the IPL, and Service Manual.

Thanks! Anyone know replacement number for Remington 14" bar 90513 OEM to Oregon or other manufacturer?
The Yardmaster types are not really bad saws, but.
You will find that the chain oiler is problematic. The tank is above the bar mount and once you have it running there is no controlling the oil flow. After you shut it down it will syphon all to oil out on your truck bed or garage floor.
I suggest loosening the lid to bleed off the pressure and parking it on its left side.
The air filter is a bad joke.
I had one. Not looking for another, ever.

Thanks Ray for the link.
Also, thanks for the oil tank info. I'll keep that in mind. No sure if the saw is worth restoring!

Thought I found rubber mounts, as the old saw rubber mounts have deteriorated to the point of crumbling. Anyone have any of them. Chainsawr has but the shipping is as much as the parts.Thanks Ray for the link.

Thought I'd give an update. Managed to fix the mounts with some very powerful adhesive, I used to glue dryer replacement drum felts. Seems to hold very well.
Think I figured it out! What appears to be missing is the eyelet, spring and retainer. The pics shows what I believe is the proper hook-up. The hose in the pic is just a mock-up where the oil line would route. I think the link simply pinches the hose to restrict oil flow, until the trigger is pressed, thereby reving the engine. Just haven't figured out the precise spring to use or what to use for the retainer clip, necessary so the spring and link cannot push out of the slot.

I stumbled across isolator bushings for the Yardmaster types yesterday on evilbay. I recognized the dovetail locator on the side.
Do a search in 'chainsaw parts'.
That's a pee poor shutoff by the way.

I agree with your comments about the oil shut-off. Sounds like an engineer had a brain..... You know! My mock-up isn't the best because although the closest line size, that fuel line is to stiff. The original line is very soft, and pinches off quite easily. With the line I have the spring will have to be heavier to apply enough pressure to pinch off the line.

Is is possible there is a Zama carb that could replace a Walbro WA53? It's for a Remington Yardmaster and the existing carb body is oxidized badly and cannot seem to find good one. There's one on Chainsawr, but appears the fuel line fittings are missing and/or cracked. Waiting for confirmation! So back to the original question, any cross-reference between Zama and Walbro that would work?

I have this military Remington 754G that is in great cosmetic shape. I am not going to keep this saw so I have not run it. I did fix the slipping starter and while pulling it over it did pop but did it did not run. I have drained it and have set it aside until I can determine a good trade value. This is going to be tough as values of saws differ from person to person. Any help from the Remington collectors on fair trade value would be greatly appreciated.

I wouldn't spend the kind of $$ the seller is wanting (note the "we are open to reasonable offers!" wording in the ad, LOL), but it is a cool Montgomery Ward (Remington).

One of the images shows a clear difference in paint color shade on the rear handle, but that doesn't actually surprise me.

Local pick up only, Streetsboro, OH. This could be a good buy depending on the bidding (no shipping usually = zero/few bids on eBay).
