Jonsereds 70E Runnin' Great

Well... I finally got the parts for the 70E (top handlebar and lower AV mount, and complete rear handle assembly). Tossed a new plug and fuel filter in it and cleaned 'er up quite a bit. She was pretty crusty.









When I first got it started, she was foggin' for skeeters from all the crap that was still in the crankcase... Fouled the plug 3 times... once the cylinder cleared out and I readjusted the carb, she ran like a scalded dog!

Pulls the 28" Windson Speedtip and full skip chain no problemo. If you remember what it looked like before... this thing looks dang near new!

Love to get the beasts runnin'!

Right Awn! Looking real good! I see you need some big spikes for it though!

A nice sized saw to have around. Seems the 70-80cc saws do most of the work.

Darn nice saw, that looks like it would out cut 10 Stihl's .

It looks really good, but a 28" bar........ :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

Will aftermarket Husqvarna spikes fit?

I doubt it. Maybe some Jonsered collector has some laying around as it is a pretty old saw. And, I don't think you will luck out and find any full-grown spikes. Your odds are best at retro-fitting some Stihl or Husky spikes, or making your own! Cutting up a set of $25 Bailey's large 5-points shouldn't hurt the wallet too bad.
