Anyone know the easiest way to get a working chain brake on my jonsered 670? I've got the side cover but that's it. No handle, band or mechanism.
I know the 670 cover fits my husky 61 but the husky cover won't fit the jred, too long at the rear. Are the brake parts interchangeable? There are plenty of knock off husky side covers available, no jonsered ones. Could I just buy a husky cover and move the parts over or even just cut the back end off so it will fit the 670?
That's part no. 1
Part no. 2 is an air filter cover. These seem to be pretty difficult to come by. I've got a scruffy top cover but no filter cover.
Anyway, for the $0 I spent buying the saw its coming along ok. A $4 piston ring took it from almost 0 compression to 'really damn hard to pull' and I should have a new coil here this week. Hopefully it'll start and I'll have a $25 670. Plus whatever the new filter cover costs, and a chain adjuster, and a bar... and chain... and... etc.
