My uncle gave this saw to me a couple of years back, he bought it back in '81 to cut up some limbs after a storm. Said he fired it up once and then put it away, sat in his storage shed for over 25 yrs. He kept everything including the original manuals, he even had the receipt, paid $91 bucks including tax at k-mart.
When I got it, the thing pissed oil after it was shut off, so I replaced the duck bill valve in the oil tank but it still leaks when it's sitting. I've had to tinker with the carb to get it stay idling, so I'm guessing it's probably in need of a rebuild.
Anyway, here are some pics..I've used it a couple of times to cut up downed limbs but now that I have two other saws that work well it's just sitting in my shed..
I'm pretty sure it's a 14 inch bar, here are some #'s off the cover, not sure if they can provide any useful info: UT No 10618, Ser. 7C1211095.
Found a guy on ebay that sells parts, but I'm not sure I really want to put a whole lot of $$ into it. Is it worth keeping and trying to fix leaking oil and carb problem or should I get rid of it? Thanks.
