Thanks again. Ordered the switch. Replaced the coil today, she starts now. Used the choke to kill the engine for now but at least it runs. Once the switch gets here I'll get it installed.

NSEric, not sure what switch you used but I will look around to see if I can find out. If you have a pic or link that would help also. Thanks ........

Does the on/off switch just ground the coil to kill the ignition? That's my understanding but just want to make sure. Thanks again.

Thanks. I'll get one ordered.

I have a timberpro cs6150 Chinese saw and no spark. I checked the coil, pretty sure it's bad. Been looking for one. Haven't been able to find one saying it'll fit the 67cc saw I have. Will the coil for a 58cc work? I've found several of those. Going to replace the on/off switch as well since I...

I think what the OP was asking is what temps do the firebox get to. I may be wrong. I have a magnetic thermostat just above the loading door on my Norseman (same as hotblast) and right now I am burning a little hot since it is below zero outside and the temp above the door shows 500° and my...

I bought mine a few years ago either on eBay or from harbor freight. I don't remember which. It was only $10-$15 but it has served me well. It may not be the most accurate out there but I only need a ballpark figure anyway. It also measures air temp and a few other things.

Thanks! I may try this in the spring. Been using it fairly regular here lately. I have a Dremel just have to get the correct bits to do the job.

I've never ported a 2cycle engine. I have thought about it though and your right on. I'd rather port for torque. RPM is fine where it's at for what I do. What did you use in place of the base gasket? yamabond? If you have any close up pics of the porting on the exhaust side could you post them...

NSEric, looks like I spoke to soon. I didn't realize you had souch experience with a Timberpro. I found your thread on porting it. Sounds real good in the vid you posted. How long has it been since all the mods? Is it holding up to the rpm well? I though I saw somewhere that the bearings we're a...

BTW, Eric. I don't know if you've modded yours at all. I discovered a while back that mine had a very restrictive cat muffler on it. I changed it out for a non cat. That seemed to help quite a bit. Definitely a noticable difference.

NCEric, I'm not sure which saw you have but mine seems to do pretty well for what it is. Granted it may not run as well as a name brand 62cc saw but we mainly cut Ash around here. It seems to go through it pretty well with a 20". I also had the 24" on once and cut into oak just to see how she...

I have not tried a 3/8lp on the Timberpro yet but so far I am very happy with the way it cuts using the .325 Oregon chain. I think the 3/8lp may be a bit on the small side since I run a 20" and a 24" bar on that saw.

That's about what I came up with researching it online. I wouldn't save much per loop at all really. The little I would save could be better spent letting someone else assemble them for me.

That's about what I pay as well.

I'll need to see what chain my uncle's saws use. If we both use the same size or 2 it may be worth it to go in on it together and save some money on the chain.

I was considering buying rolls and a chain breaker but from my research online it wouldn't be that much of an advantage unless I use alot of chain. Might be handy to have a breaker/spinner to fix the occasional broken chain but that's it. I've only actually had 1 break in the past 8 years.

As it stands now I have 5 saws total. The 3 mentioned above and a 1960's solo 640 and a Mac 10-10. Those two both use 3/8 chain. Was just thinking of simplicity but your right, they may use the lp chain for a reason. I did modify the solo slightly to use the same bar and chain as the Mac 10-10...

I am considering using the same pitch chain on all 3 of my main saws. I'm sure someone on here has done this. Just want to know the pros and cons since it will take a small investment as I change things over. My 3 main saws are a Timberpro C6150, Poulan 260, and an older Poulan green saw...

I can't give an exact year for yours but I have a 10-10A which has a black top. Mine is a 1973 my grandfather bought new. I believe the yellow top saws are slightly older. The A just means it has an automatic oiler. Yours may not so make sure you push the oil button when using it. They are a...
