Many thanks Tim'

I'll look through my air fittings supply to see if I have the fittings and a gauge for you for the pressure check.

aaron (eccentric) noted somewhere else that you could use a plug non fouler from auto parts store to connect to the spark plug hole. just sayin

That's what I use on my leak down tester, both short and long, depending on what car I'm working on in the shop.

Just testing to see if my sig updated.

Oh the new piston kit and PP365 is back to cutting today.

Neighbor dropped this off today. He went to start it pushed the primer bulb and it broke. Said here you can have it, I have three good saws at home. New project.

That's how I got my strato
charged W T, guy dropped it off and said " you can have this junk, bought me a Husky.," . Had it gutted and running like a scalded dog in 30 minutes. A good bath and it was like new.

on the wild things and i guess all that series saw with the primer bulb, how do the fuel lines run?

The big line from the primer bulb goes to the rear tank hole, the fuel line goes from the tank to the carb connector in the front and the primer line goes from the right primer bulb connector to the rear carb connector, is this correct?

Some one will have to chime in on that, I won't see my saw til next Saturday.

Notice the green paint underneath? I've got three Canadian assembled saws with a different color underneath

The fuel line with the filter goes to the top right of the carb.
The fuel line on the short connector of the primer bulb goes to the bottom right of carb.
The fuel line on the long connector of the bulb is the return line to the tank.

Long or short fitting, too many shorts there

Thanks for catching that. I have corrected it so that the long connector is the return.

 

[s sidewall]

I had to read it twice, caught me off guard, had to get my glasses to see if read it wrong. Looks better now

I think you should count on replacing the fuel and vent lines as well as the filter. Most of them don't run because they have long since broken off. You may need a new duck bill valve for the fuel tank vent as well. You might find the little plastic fitting for that in the bottom of the fuel tank if the line has crumbled.
That's a really nice looking example you have.

And it's perfect, still got the machining marks on the rings, just a few tankfuls, I would guess!

 

[AlexTheGrater]

All good info provided above. The only other thing I would pay attention to is the oilier. It`s a diaphragm pump that runs off a impulse from the crankcase. I seem to have a lot of trouble with them. There is no more replacement diaphragms. I buy parts saws for the pumps. Other than that maybe crank seals.

It's in brilliant condition, I've not checked seals/fuel lines/oiler, but hey, this is a good start, a few tankfuls, original chain too, sharpened once or twice..
