Can anyone tell me what old Mac powerhead they used for this cutoff saw?

 

[Jacob J.]

Those are usually a 795L.

That is what I was thinking, 795.

 

[grandpatractor]

Thanks guys.
My neighbor picked it up for almost nothing. Has no spark.

No spark is easy enough to fix. Those are a points ignition engine and that's the weak point. A solid state module will excise the points and the ignition module is pretty much bulletproof on those.

where can a person obtain one of them?

A solid state module or a 795L cut-off saw? The modules are pretty common: Solid State Ignition Module Replaces points & condenser | eBay

You're on your own for the cut-off saw though.

Oregon part number 33-053, Ignition Module, universal. Any small engine joint can hook you up. Cut off saw, what he said.

795L power head is correct. I actually have two already, one yellow and black with the name Stowe I think, and a blue one like that.

JD, I could always use another if the price was right.

Compression? My Stowe is very low compression, the Target feels pretty stong yet.

Yeah the concrete saws usually lost compression fast due to thin rings in a dusty/abrasive environment. A lot of the older cut-off saws I'll pulled down had junk pistons and cylinders due to concrete dust ingestion.


BTW Mark- I still have a 795 short block if you want it.

Thanks for the link jj.
I have not had a problem with points and condensers yet.
Would be nice to have a few of these just in case.

JJ - I still have a 1-70 boxed up and ready to go as well. I can send it as soon as you PM me with the shipping address. I found I can bring a box like that to work and our shipping guys send it along UPS for about 1/3 of the cost of USPS.

As soon as I get your address I can send the 1-70 out, have a look and make sure it suits your needs, then feel free to send the 795 back this way.
