Jonsered 630 Super 2

[Slemaydel]

First post and Hey all! Just bought a used 630 Super II for $225 runs and idles great. Looking for honest opinions of the saw and any info I can get. Background to my story is that I have actually been looking for a used Jonsered for about 5 years. It all started when my wife and I purchased our home property in 2015. We had several large hardwoods down around our 13 acres and commenced cleaning up. I had no saw and no equipment. My wife's grandfather brought down his John Deere 4 series with a grapple and his 2166 and 2071 turbo. I WAS HOOKED. Those things went through wood like they lived in it. I was later given a Stihl Ms170 by my grandparents which has cut above it's weight for me and others time and time again. But the
larger Jonsereds have had my desire since. P.S. we now have a 1 series Deere to help around the property too. Thanks for reading. Any info on the 630 Super 2 will help me.

Great saws, I think you'll be happy with it.

Thanks! Not a whole lot of information on this particular one out there but after seeing and holding it. It is definitely in the right realm of the Jonsereds I'm interested in.

If it turns out that you need a little more power you could put a 670 cylinder on it. You could even put a Husqvarna 266,268 or 272 cylinder on it.

Thanks! I have checked it out briefly. I'm just combing more for problems if any that one type may be prone to. My wife was nervous we didn't get a good deal. To me it's well worth it but I am an amateur.

$225 for a 630 in good condition is a good deal.

 

[Slemaydel]

Awesome

I had the 625 and 670 in that series, and they were very good saws.

It's one of the best in that class in any decade

Oh, and...

Oh, and...

Right, here it is. LOL!

Your saw is in great shape.

I love that family of saws. Haven't owned one but worked on one for my friend last year. Have also owned a few of it's orange cousins.

Thanks, I'd be lying if I told you wasn't immediately excited seeing and starting it when I went to buy it. I hit the chain with my file and yesterday was supposed to be first run in the wood but it poured all day. Im itching to see how it does

Congrats on your new saw. I think you did fine on the price as it looks to be in good shape. Since no one has yet to explain what it means to be a 630 Super II for you I'll attempt to give you a heads up on what you now have. The Super II is the latest and most advanced 630 there is. Firstly it features the one piece ign and that case half case side upgrade which, besides the ign. upgrade, the other improvement is that the crank seal installs directly into the case rather than into a seal carrier that is then o-ringed to the case as with the earlier versions in this family of saws. So what that does is eliminate one more possible place for an air/vac leak. Next is the cyl.....it uses all available 630 pistons, but came with a single 1.5 mm thick ring piston......but the real interesting thing about this cyl is the fact it has a "D" shaped combustion chamber rather than the regular 630 round combustion chamber.......this increases compression and thus power output......I have one here that I ported years ago and it just rips......will not tune below 14,400 rpm......and loses little in the cut...truely an awesome 62 cc saw. I have several 630 saws...a couple late Supers and even a West Cost...all in superior condition but they can't hold a candle that Super II.......I know porting helped but it is also just plain more advanced even in stock form. Damn....mine even came with a Ducati ign......really.....

Sweet! Thank you for the knowledge.
I didn't know Ducati did small engine parts. Lol!

Well....didn't either until I took the saw apart...........................I currently own two Ducati bikes......

I brought it to my wife's grandfather to show him. Cut some 4-6" limb wood and let it idle a bit. Seems the idle starts high then settles in after a couple minutes. Still moves the chain more than I'm used to Wonder if I should tune High adjustment down a tad?

Here's a link on adjusting the carb. https://store.chainsawr.com/blogs/t...djustment-and-tuning-of-a-chainsaw-carburetor

 

[Ronie]

If after you get the carb adjusted the chain is still moving at idle use the idle screw to bring the idle down until the chain stops moving.
