Good news: Found the oiler push rod. Cleaned the muffler assembly/spark screen/baffle. Checked the piston and bore, they are in great shape. A little carbon on top of the piston, but nothing to worry about. From the little I could see on the cylinder wall through the exhaust port, I saw cross hatching... this thing probably didn't get used much. Also found a bar that I just might pick up for this saw... two words: roller nose...
Bad news: Never got around to calling those sources, and still gotta compose myself, and go find the crank nut and washer, the primer plastic line (if I can find one... if not, I'll find a fuel line that seals up well with the hole in the tank left from the careful removal of the little grommet that the primer line originally sealed into) and one more little part, the primer button.
The chain is about 93% free, haven't checked on it recently, but I did spray the problem areas several times with rust penetrant so it may surprise me and move just like a new chain should, without help from pliers, a screwdriver, and a vise.
Also, I would like to note that this saw most likely would benefit from a muff mod, all you have to do is remove the spark screen/baffle assembly, and set them aside.
That right there would be a huge gain, since the screen is one long piece folded over three times to make four layers of mesh to flow through!!!
Talk about restriction, it probably explains why there is so much fricking carbon in the muffler assembly and around the exhaust port. So much more than I've ever seen before, the screen was basically plugged with carbon.
I might pull the carb and check it over. Most of the time, I find that the engine I'm working on doesn't need a carb rebuild, just a little cleaning, and put back together.
These projects I have going should pick up some steam somewhat soon, since I know can afford to buy a few things for the saws. (got that 790 project too!! That thing will be a fun saw too) So keep an eye out.
