The David Bradleys can look nice cleaned and repainted.

That's like a gas powered hoola hoop!
Sick saw! Never seen something like that before
 
On the David Bradleys, if you take the time and do a nice job like Mr. Bow Saw, you'll raise the value significantly. Most of the David Bradley models were real common and Sears had gazillions of them made. Any of the more common models of vintage saws are made more valuable by a finely done restoration.
 
Lewis and Mr. Bow Saw do you guys have a good starting point on carb adjustment I can get the thing to run but you rev it up its like it quits and goes all the way down I have to pop the throttle to get it to start to run or it will kill on me always restarts though

Thanks for all the nice comments everybody.:)

I set them at 1 1/4 turns each and then adjust as needed.
 
What do you think of the cutting out when it revs up? Starving of fuel? It sounds just like you hit the off switch but it doesnt turn back on till it slows way down almost a surge.
 
Clean and reset the carb, new kit if the diaphagrms are stiff, cheap and easy to do and makes old saws run much better. Old Tilly carbs are easy to work on and kits are easy to find, don`t cost much and are good maintenence on old saws.
