Stole the bar off my 2159 that I haven't gotten to run right yet, that's on the chopping block next. Stupid carb on them things.

Brief warm up & go cut wood with the intention of keeping the saw under load. You may want to test compression prior to break in to see how things change. Find a good mineral oil not synthetic and mix it up a little rich like 32-40:1. Try not to start saw and idle it for periods, you get one good shot to break in so don't fork it up! Remember pressure within the cylinder is what promotes a good break in/ring seal so you want to create that environment within the saw.

Ok sounds like my normal routine. Besides compression testing I really need to buy one of those. I made a major oopsie. Totally forgot to check my squish before starting. everything seems to be fine piston looks good and it didn't make any crazy noises. Fyi gasket is deleted.

I have ran a couple different 555 autotunes and I must say I'd love to have one. Wish I had a 50cc to trade you. Only 50cc saw I have is a partner 5000.
I would also have to agree someone stuffed something round in the exhaust port to hold the motor from turning over while they tried to remove the clutch .

Yeah turns out he thought the bar oiler wasn't working at one point. Makes me def think he tried fixing it and messed it up. Liar!!!! Sorry for doubting you guys I hope you will forgive me

That's why he needed to take the clutch off. People do stupid stuff and try to cover it up by lying. That's just the way it is[emoji6]

 

[huskyhansen]

I doubt he even achieved getting the clutch off lol what an idiot. Lost a lot of respect for this dude. He had no reason to lie I would have bought it for 100 bucks either way. Saws in great shape.

 

[huskyhansen]

Anyone else have trouble getting a good squish reading on these Saws?

I'm not sure what you mean, sometime you'll have to check a couple of times and take an avradge. Make sure your all the way at the edge of the piston and across the parallel with the piston pin.

Great saw to get on the cheap a 555, gotta be the hooski that puches above its price point & its farm/ranch category. I am gonna fire mine up today & give it a run.

Cut a tank worth of cookies in a nice chunk of oak today. Saw ran great and i absolutely love it! Buuut I pulled off muffler and I see some wear right in the spot that I had to sand down the cylinder I'm pretty bummed. Seems to have good compression when comparing to my other saws though.

 

[huskyhansen]

Muffler modded it today. Man that woke her up. Original owner is a buddy of mine he came over and ran it and he is sure bummed he sold it. Muhahaha!

 

[huskyhansen]

I don't know if the bar oil adj is broken or they are supposed to be this way. It seems to have 3 settings. Low med high? And it never hits a stopping point it's just keeps on turning but the screw comes out further then pops back in. Is this correct?

 

[boltonranger]

How about a video? Let’s hear it run!

 

[huskyhansen]

Not sure how to do that.
