Back to the little 3516..... still not been able to get it in a log but have cold started it several times and it is consistently going on one pull with the choke then fires on the second pull without the choke. Will make someone who doesn’t cut that much a decent little saw.

Any venison with that repair??.
 
Happy Thanksgiving, All.

I thought you are probably tried of me cutting with the PM800 so I thought I would repair my SP40 that I have only test run since purchase. It has been several years, I bent the throttle rod on a reinstall and the throttle would not open all the way. Today, I straightened it to be roughly the same as an NOS rod I purchased off eBay. I spent a good hour trying to reinstall it. Still wouldn't open to full throttle. So I the new one on it (same length but different end on the carb side). New one was only slightly easier to install. But it doesn't open the throttle fully either. Maybe it doesn't matter that much.

Wide open at full trigger:

Wide open to stop.

I just gave up and decided to cut with it as is:

Recoil broke trying to started it:

Another battle for another day.

SP40 woes continue ...

I "fixed" the recoil by stringing two 5/16" hose clamps together and tightening them down around the plastic cup. I was surprised that the two small clamps cost $4.15 at NAPA. I need to get out more. I digress too much. The fix works fine. But I have a significant fuel leak in the tank area. Any common issue in this area that I should check?

BTW it runs but is not quite the screamer I remember my PM510 to have been even when forcing the throttle to the stop. The carb is a fixed jet.

Well guys,I picked up a 1-70 a couple of days ago on Feebay.I was watching one 1-70 go out of my range once again when I got an alert that another 1-70 had just been listed.The seller was asking $150 or MO,so I offered him $135 & he accepted it! He was in Pa.& I'm in N.Y.,so it only took 2 days for me to get it.
I thought I'd go through it & see if it had good compression & spark,but the starter wouldn't engage on the pawls.I thought maybe the pawls were seized up,but upon taking the recoil off I found it had no pawls at all,Lol. Lucky thing for me I have a parts 1-70 that's seized,but had a perfectly good clutch with pawls.Unfortunately I couldn't find my rope I use as a piston stop,& it was beginning to rain again,so called it quits for the day.I did find some starter ropes while going through my parts totes looking for some 10-10 choke rods,so I'll have a go at pulling the pawlless clutch tomorrow.I think someone had this poor saw half buried for a while - it was covered in oily dirt.No mag rot though that I could see.The manual oiler might take a little work to get it freed up too.The air filter was covered in oily dirt too,but on the upside,the air box is spotless.It came with what looked to be a 20 in.bar & .404 chain.I've seen 52 Oregon chain,but not familiar with 62 Oregon chain.I'll get pics of the saw on here ASAP.
would you by chance have a parts break down for i-70 or have any extra parts i could buy?
 
My SP 81 is here and it's all I thought she would be! After giving it a quick test run I really want to get the last minor details on my 5-10 and 10-10 buttoned up so I can run the against each other.

Nice saw man. Roller starter too. Its hard to pick the 850 up over the 81 its such a light saw for its age and cc
Put a few tanks through mine a couple days ago. Snapchat-812691141.jpg
Stuffed in the back of the lil zook

Still starting terribly must get to it. Points n plug
 
No doubt that it would. My damage was much less severe; the hose clamps work so far.
Id bet on a tank seem leak. It is the same tank as a mini mac. The 515 i got had a leak and it was the seam. Thats why i say that. Could also be the small barb on the tank outlet. The sp40, 510, 515 are the same saw really.

Is there a repair, or do you replace them?

Well, when my uncle came up for Thanksgiving he left a few gifts! The little guy on the far left was bought new by my grandpa in the 70's, my dad used it around the house for awhile, and it has languished in my uncle's garage ever since. He wants me to completely restore the saw, sand blast it, powder coat it, the works. Not pictured are its case and an Eager Beaver 2.0 I'm also supposed to fix.

I'd be leaving that saw just as grandpa left it.
 
New addition. Nearly unused !
