I was given a blown up TS700 Stihl cutoff saw (concrete saw).
New piston/cylinder and it will no doubt run.
has anyone ever turned one of these into a chainsaw? Engine is up around 100cc, nice big comfortable handle. starter on right ride, and if there is a way to cobble a bar/chain/oiler system on it to make it a "hot saw" it might be fun. The carburetor setup is interesting as it is a progressive 2bbl and looks similar to a stratocharged system. Stihls website says that the rpm is governed to less than 10,000 and that might be able to be swapped out for a different ignition.
biggest drawback that I see in converting it is that it appears to be a plastic crankcase and the extension for the cutoff is cast as one piece here. not sure how to rig up the clutch to a drive sprocket, but I bet that could be done!
feedback??
