Hey y'all, inlaws have an old Jonsered 451E that I'm looking for some basic info on. I'm having a hard time finding stuff online, although I did find a parts diagram (dated 30 April 1981).
It sat for several years and won't start. It had been worked over by a shop 4-6 years ago and ran, and it ran about 2 years ago, was sitting after that with all the gas drained. I didn't have time to mess with it much, but when I get back in front of it I'll verify spark and clean the carb and try again.
It cranks over fine, is not locked up or anything, feels like it has good compression. The spark plug looked normal.
My first basic question is - what fuel mix does this thing want? A lot of older saws I've seen used to recommend 40:1, and wanted to make sure not to run 50:1 if that's the case. It looks like it's one of the circa 1978-1981 variety?
Also, what spark plug should go in this thing? the old parts diagram I found says 504 39 06 02 but I'm having trouble crossing that to something new/modern. I forgot what was in there.... will check in a few days.
The bar is a Windsor (made in canada) with oil lube holes in the nose sprocket - does regular bar oil go in there or can you use lighter oil that flows more? It seemed clogged on one side, will blow it out with compressed air if I can get the thing to run (I hope that is not too dumb of a question)
Here it is with my old Stihl 028 AV Super. Sadly both failed me last weekend.... had to stop the Stihl and tried to get the Jonse running to no avail just to finish cutting one big downed oak
