I got this D-B about a year ago. It had good compression and spark, so I thought I would clean it up a bit.

Nice DB Cliff, It's amazing what a good clean can achieve

If stuff from the 70's and 80's is considered antique, then that means a lot of our members are "antiques."

I resemble that!

Nice fine on the Rex Tim. Is it a runner yet? Not surprised to see that clutch cover broke, they were very thin castings.

I heard they weren't very rugged saws. The guy I bought it from said he used it two months ago. I haven't gone through it yet but will get to it soon,

Solo Rex question.
What does the line that goes from the banjo fitting above the intake port to the oil tank do?
The saw runs but definitely has a vacuum leak. Getting at those HL carb nuts was a real treat to get set for a pressure and vac test.

I think that's for auto oiling?
You're right about those carb nuts, there's little to no room in there for any spanner!
