Probably noticed me lurking on this thread.....
I'm intrested in how it turns out... take as many pics etc as possible. Hang in there these are fun saws. I tore apart a Jred 590 a few years ago and never got around to putting it back together..... I ended up getting a 490 top end from a gentlemen I found on this site. Actually come to think of it that's what brought me to this site. This has me thinking that perhaps I should try to get this thing back together.
The 590 top end looks like it lean-failed. I didn't do a vac test prior to pulling it apart (Noob). Anyhow I remember looking at the impulse gromment and thinking that it looks poor. Earlier in this thread it sounded as if you could get more of these.... if so where would I look for one? Also when I do get it back together I'll likely vac test... If I have a seal leak, does anyone know where I might get a seal kit?
Good Luck Jeff, sounds like you've got some people giving good advice.
Hey there Rowan... looks like you live about 45 minutes from me.
For the induction pipe (P/N 503161602) and impulse grommet (P/N 505310751) you can pick up from your husky dealer. They are the same as the 55 Husky saw.
I usually get my seals from Banta Saws in Eastern Ontario. They are very good and I usually receive the parts the next day.
Here is a link to the seals on their website.

Or for a complete gasket set

Rowan if you want to get together sometime I can vac/pressure or compression test your saw.
