020AV Super ?

[Beer Gut]

Were the 020AV Super's 40mm jug?

And were the 40mm jugs interchangeable with the 38mm? Looking at my IPL it doesn't list the Model Super but it does show a layout for both the 38mm and 40mm P&C. From what I can see you could swap them out and you can size up your 38mm saw.

I'm rebuilding my 020AVP (38mm)
Rings, carb rebuild, hoses, sprocket cover, sprocket, MM, squish lower, and converting it from rear handle to top handle. Also a fresh paint job.

But I like playing and don't need the saw right now so was gonna bump it to 40mm P&C unless I hear of an issue form yous.

Yes, you can put the 40mm bore cylinder on. They're marked with a $

In all my years this is the first time I've heard of a 020 av . guess they turned into what the 210s/211

No they would be considered a pro type saw to me. Mag case and all. I would say they were the precursor to the 020t/ms200t and ms 200 with the rear handle if your talking 020avp

All other projects listed above are a go and in process. 40mm P&C on order.

I need to track down rings though.

Also have the conversion coming for 3/8 LP picco from 1/4in. Oil gear and sprocket.
Primarily because low pro is a lot easier to find.

Questions I have are.
I did do searches on here but didn't find any reading on the comparison between the two. It looks to me like both are well liked. Which is better?

I had a 16in 1/4 pitch on this saw and that worked well. Will 16in with 3/8 low pro be to much for this saw? Should I go shorter bar with this change?

63 PS chain cuts way faster than 13 RM in light wood. I run the 020 avp with both, not a huge difference.

That's a sweet bow setup!

Numbers on this stuff is new to me what's 63PS and 13RM? I'm used to 3/8RS and 404RS. Lol

I picked up a bar today 16in Stihl and Yellow chain RM. Found some RS competition chisel online. Gonna order some soon.

Saw is really coming together lots of parts on order. I'll post picks soon.

Here's a before pic. This saw was always touchy. It would run well sometimes and go out of wack others. Handy little bugger though.

VERY nice Brad

 

[XSKIER]

Yes, oh so nice. And a points and condenser model to boot!

 

[blsnelling]

I even got the matching bar cover for it

 

[Beer Gut]

Very cool. That one is the most unique I've seen. Through the research I've looked at lots. Way cool

Here's all put back together. Still 38mm waiting on 40mm jug to show up. Figured I'd work on carb and test run while I wait. Tomorrow I'll try to start it. Waiting for Motoseal to dry tonight.

Great saw, sweet deal!

I'd be interested in trading you a top handle set for a rear handle set.

That may be possible I'll let you know after Im all done messing around.
