Someone decided they needed this, so the lot is going down the road.

Cleaning out at my in-laws farm and ran across this stash. Looks to be enough parts for 1 full saw, maybe 2? Not sure how collectible these are. Assuming not much. Just don’t want to see it trashed if someone could use it. 3 bars, 3 tanks, 3 cylinders, only 2 lower ends…And a bunch of other...

A piece of advise. You have made your argument, no one seems to be buying it. If you don't want to carry your scrench on a string; don't. Leave it with your gas/oil or whatever you feel is appropriate. Don't try to convince others if they don't want to be convinced. Just because you have...

Question: Does anyone have the original length and diameter for the starter rope on a 621? I’m working on one now and the rope is way too short and I think it may be the wrong diameter. Just trying to get back close to original.

Shared a clip of the 350 that I was able to get running a few posts back. Here is another Homelite that I got revived. These were owned by my FIL but I’m not sure if he ever ran them or if he picked them up at auctions over the years. This one needed a new intake boot, new fuel lines, and...

Thanks but had it running already.

Anyone have the initial carb settings for a Dolmar 5105? Is it 1 turn out on both jets? Background. Picked the saw up lightly used and I could not get this to tune at all so I was all over with the high and low jet. I thought I had an air leak. Turns out the air filter did not have the vent...

Any compression numbers or piston pics?

I’ve been fighting a 5105 with similar issues. Well guess what, same issue. Pulled the air filter off and started first pull. I had purchased it as a good running saw, but I fought getting it started and leaning out. Thought I had gotten taken. The air filter was on it when I got it, so...

I was given a pretty nice 350 awhile ago that I finally got around to trouble shooting. It ended up needing a new carburetor boot and new fuel/impulse lines. It has spark, so I decided to try to rehab it. The original boot in the 350 had a "flange" that covered the whole carb sealing surface...

Update: I watched for awhile to check prices but I did end up ordering a new Stihl carb OEM off the fleabay. Finally came in n and had time to put it on today. Saw started right up and idled. Needs to be tuned and I didn’t have time to put it in any wood but it appears that either I fixed...

That’s is the entrance exam to being able to buy a saw. If you can’t figure that out without cutting yourself, you can’t buy a saw.

I was close. I think he had it written down multiple ways, but it’s been a few years since I’ve seen it.

Ever see Dr Strangelove? Remember the 3 letter code to recall the bombers? “Our Personal Essence”

Why is the ultra sonic cleaner a bad idea? Just curious what the reason is?

It’s not as bad as it sounds. Just really busy. We are all well fed, kids have clean clothes, the house isn’t any more messy than usual, and nobody has been late to school this week. Victory is mine!

Recommendations on which OEM carb? Sounds like the Walbro is preferred?

Sorry guys. My wife has been gone for business for a week, so it’s been single parenting here with 3 kids, 3 horses, and 2 dogs in sub zero temps. Chaos rules and no time for saws.

UPDATE to the pressure and vac testing. I was able to get the spark plug adapter so I can test it together. After a few issues with getting the everything sealed, it’s holding 10 in Hg and 5 psi for 10 minutes. Probably have it narrowed down to the carb, unless something was leaking before...

The bushing is shown above. The seal rides on the outside on the bushing, but there is nothing sealing the ID of the bushing to the crank which is a leak path unless you put a little grease on the back of the bushing when you install it, then the clutch pushes the bushing tight in and make it...
