PNW Sawduster
I cut it off twice, and it's still too short!
So I've been looking hard for a replacement coil for one of my old trusty Jonny 49SP's, and the only one I could find was on eBay of course. The listing was for a recoil starter cover with coil, for a 49sp. The Seller said the coil was good, and I figured even if it wasn't, for the price ($35) I could roll the dice and get most of my $$ back out if the cover alone, so I bought it and it's currently in transit on its way as I type. I was just poking around the listing again trying to figure out when it would actually arrive, when it suddenly hit me that the photos posted in the original eBay listing didn't jibe with what pix I've seen here on other 49SP posts that show the coil. All the posts here seem to show the coil attached to a couple of bosses sticking out from the cylinder, whereas this animal is attached to the starter cover itself. Is this from an older 49sp maybe? Or did the seller just misidentify the origin of the part, and I was too dumb to catch the difference before pulling the trigger? I'd simply check my saw except A) I'm at work, and B) The saw is at a shop anyway. Here's the photos from the listing; what do you guys think? Cantdog? Love to hear your input as you seem to be the authoritative source of all things 49SP
