Remington duckbill went to tar. Take it apart and study how to use a Poulan duckbill to fix it.
On the SL-9 types, the duckbill is in a pipe fitting in the wall between the crankcase and oil tank.
You have to remove the tank cover for access.

Well I bought the Pro 88. As you all know its a sickness ! It is in great shape. Judging from the paint on the fasteners and lack of any tool marks I dont think its been apart. Even the carb looks untouched. Came with a original roller nose Remington bar #10-A 2820 DJ and chain. It has 24" after the spike . Has spark and compression. Looks like winter will have a couple projects!
Pull the flywheel on that and coat the coil with Liquid Tape.
The plastic on them has gone to hell and you won’t have spark for long.
They will fall apart running.

No puller needed on the flywheel BTW.

Curiosity got me and I pulled it apart . I must have a newer design on the coil /points box . It has a differant coil and a built in gauge to set points. I like the no puller flywheel design .

Mr happy saws , what is a Eclipse Wasp? Im close to the old Eclipse rotary mower plant . Or one of them .
Chuck two drill bits shank up in your bench vice. Block the piston with a piece of wood. Hold the clutch, turn the saw.[emoji108]

It snowed here today so I guess its winter. Had plenty of shop time so I got a couple customers taken care of . I also had time to break down the Pro 88 . It must have not been used much before it was discarded for something newer. The P/C look great so did the carb . I am glad I took it all the way down because 1 crank bearing was rusted and a crankcase oring had turned to goo. Looks like parts are available.
