They don't all have grooves. Most weren't that way from new in my experience. Stihl did use a replaceable grooved insert in their starter cups and standard FM pawls. Some were plastic, some were metal inserts.

I had a 754 with grooves and my PL7A had a steel insert inside the starter cup with some serious grooves
Scored these the other day by chance a pair of nos friction washers 
Got it extra clean now, nicest one yet in my collection 
Still had original powrflite chain the saw might have only been used till the chain got dull. The cutter looks like it was never sharpened once. And has the muffler screen still in it.
I have a 75S available if anyone is interested. I've done a little cleaning of the exterior (after this photo was taken) but since I have a NIB model in the display I don't really need this one. If no one steps up I will mount a bar on it and stick it in the log outside.
The saw turns over freely with what feels like decent compression. Currently no spark.
The NIB 75A is in the display...

Mark, bring that to Baraboo and I'll take it off your hands.
Lol I just pm him on it. It's going for a real fair price but if you want it go for it. It would save him the trouble of shipping it.
No, it's yours. If the deal falls through, then I'll step in.
Just purchased the super 990, now waiting for it to come from the PNW.
I'm excited for you! Definitely gonna have to post alot of pictures.
Will do. Hopefully I can get it going.
Other than the top end, it'll take the same stuff as your 770.
Anyone know if this is original it's off a super 990 looks sorta homemade but not sure. Also got a broken bar stud

Probably an old log master

Definitely homemade. Any new exhausts had a screen but most are now long gone.
The bar stud will be easy to change once you split the cases. It's a special captive bolt. Just look for one off any other direct drive. They'll be the same.
Anyone know the difference between 60582a and 60582b? The ipl on the super 990 says the needles are 60852b and it takes 28 of them? When I took apart a super 754 I don't remember there being 28 needles??? But I could be wrong
