I hadn't re-installed the governor, because i have an aversion to governors, but knowing this now, i'll put it back in and just use the OMC carb. I did recognize that the throttle linkage was weird when i took it apart. I actually don't mind the ignitions, just do the cheap $20 coil swap from...

Its coming together slowly. I need to decide if i keep the OMC carb and rebuild it, or if i figure out a way to put a tillotson HL in there, my 1750 has an HL swap, but my 700 has the OMC carb. And i guess i ought to order up the decal while I'm at it. Need to make more space in the shop...

ended up calling fluidseal in richmond, sales person was most helpful.

For the guys in BC, Canada, who are you using to get crank seals these days? Motion used to be my go-to but now they seem to want to charge full freight from the seal MFR for everything, when before i could just go and pick up the seals from their coquitlam warehouse and not pay any shipping...

Just saw it, funny story, its the same guy that i got this one off of. He was a little bit sketchy. Definitely lied in his posting about the condition of the saw i bought. Thanks for the heads up though. i still haven't found a cir-clip, but was thinking it would be a standard size so a...

69 nova, my dad's project. has new rear quarters and some previous body work repaired. In primer now.

scrap the high top, port it and put the v stack on! not a mac, but i haven't worked on one in a while This was a $100 181 low top i picked up a few years ago.

Working on a very rough pioneer 750 at the moment and i'm in need of 1 wrist pin circlip. Any chance someone has one or two laying around? I'm quite sure its the same as the ones on the 650/600/620 saws I thought i had a spare from a parts saw, but it turns out i'd already stolen them for...

yeah, and its really, really heavy, and has incredible compression. This one has been fully rebuilt, very well made saw. picked up a 900 too a couple years ago, but the top end is trashed pretty bad from the looks of it and it needs a muffler. I might be able to save the cylinder i just...

Not that common... I have one too, it also came from the island. But it was really rough and locked up when i got it. I had to do a lot of repairs to the castings and get quite a few other bits (made new oil lines, and cylinder tin shroud, retrofit an outboard coil etc.) They're only 107cc. Same...

engine enamel and 2k clear on top. Holds up pretty well

Thankfully most of the IEL/Pioneer parts are standard sizes so seals and bearings are pretty easy to get. Gaskets are easy, and they pretty much all use basic normal fuel lines. Only bad thing are the OMC carbs that some of them use. And since we are sharing restored saws: IEL HM and HC...

I guess i never posted the finished saw photos. Poulan 4900. Needs decals, but they're spendy (i'm in canada) so i'll just live with it. I know the top cover should be a darker green. had to put a new clutch drum on it, and clutch cover as the original had been smashed up beyond repair

I'll keep that in mind. I'm pretty sure i have one in my collection of spares that i can use, but if not...

not really, little more than i'd usually spend but still less than 1/3 of what they seem to be listed for on ebay.

Just picked up this one today. Its mint. Maybe the cleanest saw i've ever bought. reed muffler, fully intact, no rust, no carbon and a functioning brake - note the stylish (definitely asbestos) linoleum bar cover. decal is almost new looking little bit of wear from sitting on a shelf...

looking for a poulan 4900 IPL please!

Restoring a 4900 countervibe saw and need some help with the crank seals. The document i have from here (got it a long time ago) has a bunch of cross references for various saws and manufacturers and lists the large countervibe saws as requiring 2x SKF 6904. When the seals showed up i compared...

Since we are on the subject of 10- series saws. I pieced this one together over the christmas break. Its a mix up of 1-10 and early 1010 parts. Has the cast metal style auto oil pump. The small fasteners for the air box to cylinder intake flange, and i needed to drill out the extra hole in the...

This one has a full wrap on it, but i haven't seen a lot of others with it.
