New saw for the collection.

[Oregon_Native]

Well i dug this one out of the pile at work for months i didn't know what it was.

well push can to shove and i was on hold with a suppler waiting to get parts for some equipment and walked out back and started looking it over close and saw the motor plate and it just had to follow me home.

it is a Wards WD-99 with the west bend 820 motor 8.2 CID this is no mini mac!

this motor is still manufactured to day by "US Motor Power" it is a go kart racing motor (west bend Power Bee model us820)

it looks like something that could be a really neat stock or modded saw for racing. I love the design of it, modular, and easy to take apart. btw, why was it taken apart?

cleaning and painting

it had a lot of grease and saw dust and the paint had separated from all and aluminum and mag housings.

Hot Saw on the way

well i got it painted the housings and rebuilt the carb and cleaned up the bar and chain.

i still have some work to do on the throttle linkage and carb tuning.
and i need to find some good sharp square filed 1/2" pitch chain.

but it is comming to life slowly.
