The coil is cracked to heck. I was able to locate a wire and was able to successfully solder the spark plug lead back onto it. I was going to use marine epoxy to hopefully seal it better. My spark is very bright when a reasonable RPM is achieved but I cant help but feel that starting will be difficult. Do you think this unit has any degree of collectivity? How rare/common are these GL-7R saws?

I collect Remington saws, and have yet to see a GL-7R; they are rather uncommon. It is quite a collectible saw to Remington or Mall enthusiasts.

We NEED pics!

It's awfully quiet in here! But, I bet Ya'll are either cutting down trees right now or working on your chainsaws, right? I haven't heard much about the under 40cc chainsaw competition. Who's got the fastest saw, thus far?
No, on vacation right now actually. Haven't even started on the saw build yet. If I was home I would be using a saw though. Got quite a few severe storms so far this week in our area and more on the way yet.

Well, have a great vacation. Hope you get a saw in your hands, very soon. :chainsaw:
I've got a few things I'm working on, but I have the Saw for the challenge at least lol.

I did this little modification earlier, it's really common for the mounts of the 450 muffler to break which will cause the muffler to split, well mine has been repaired but I have trouble keeping to bolts in, so I needed to at least make a 3rd point of contact and I figured the one next to the carb housing was the most important so I fashioned a piece of metal and slipped it on between the carb housing and the cylinder to bolt the muffler to.

I just switched jobs this week. I was in the wedding/party tent business for over 7 years and was a foreman that knew everything and trained people. Now I'm in the lobster business and I'm the new guy that doesn't know anything and learning. Not much time for saws. I have a few little saws muff modded and tuned and trying to figure out an aggressive chain to file. I need more time and practice on the chains. If I can not find time or better my hand filing skills I might just use new loops of Stihl pro chain. The one thing I wish I did do was before and after videos. Some of my runners were modded awhile back while I was just getting into saws and lurked on this site before joining.

Ik the feeling, my probationary period ends tomorrow which means I can finally shed my yellow helmet in favor of my permanent white one. It feels good. Best of luck with your new job

750 EVL pulled a 28" full chisel chain through the nasty part of this log without struggling. The evil orange might be slow but she's strong!

Thanks, it's hard to enjoy myself though. Nearly a whole week without doing work is pretty tough, starting to get to me lol. And yes, a saw is going to be one of the first things I touch when I get back home Sunday. First things going to be modding the ms361 oiler in preparation for milling.
