Jonsered 80 & 81

I got this 80 in last week. It has very nice compression as you will see.
Somebody did a muffler mod with removable spark screen.
The saw starts with a shot of mix down the carb but the carb
will need cleaning and a kit.

Yes I traded JANDG who made this post abot the 81

I traded him a nice 044 stihl with 24 inch bar and new chain.
He said he wanted a lighter saw that was not so hard to start.
I thought it can't be that hard to pull. Wow when I got the saw
he was right as you will see in the pics.
Hes happy with the 044 and im very happy with the 81.
I have not started it yet. It needs a new kill switch. I ordered one
should be here this week.

Yes I checked my compression tester on another saw that I knew what
the psi was and its right.


Heres the saw JANDG got.

Fine looking saws with arm breaking comp as well. Great roll tip on the 80.
The Stihl elastostart help any on the 81 ?

You got a couple nice ones there Cliff.
Good luck starting them with that finger
braking compression. Do you think they
have been modded? Never seen a stock
saw with that much comp. WOW

Please post a video of that 81 running and idling? Those are two fine specimens. What a high compression number on that second one, I thought 210 was high.

I am glad the 81 went to a collector, and was posted here in the trading post as compared to ebay. Good job JANDG!


I am very curious to see if there is any internal difference compared to the 80/801.

255 PSI compression?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely amazing. Can you get that much compression without a two piece head?

I was a bit slower than Cliff, but still glad to see that it went to someone who will appreciate it.

With thick carbon build-up, which is usually the case...

nice pair of aces right there !!! I really like the bar on that 80.
These saws have indeed awfull compression and starting is a trick on its own.

I love the way they idle...tak tak..tak.. that's idling the russian way I suppose LOLOL...

That's a great deal for both of you,I too am glad to see the 81 is now "safe and sound".Good deal JandG for posting it here instead of on the 'bay.

The 80 may have been modded. I don't know abot the 81

Well they both got there carb kits installed today. I did not have
time to do any sawing with them. The mix in the 80 is a little
thick so it smokes a bit.

Thanx for putting those videos up, old school saws are the finest.
You done good picking up those two, I'd hold onto them.

They sound great Cliff,
They even pulled over easy considering
the compression they have.
You done good with them 2 saws.

Yep

I usually don't say this to a guy but "You got a nice pair there!!" Good luck with them.
