thanks for the heads up lone wolf getting a new tool

It sounds like this won't be the last saw you will fix/rebuild/buy-sell etc. A mityvac 8500 will serve you well and give you confidence in your builds. A 'must have' tool for proper service. Do seals as LW says and you will have a ripper OEM saw that will sell easy or provide long service life if you keep it.

I never rebuild without seals anymore , its not worth it.

Is the ignition side seal recessed? If so you should get an installer tool to set it at the right depth.They are cheap. Definitive Dave has them.
