Thanks! It’s in the top 5 favorite saws I own!

Well every saw is a favorite one at some point or another. Some just stay at the top longer. Like the SP125's!

my wife's grandfather owned this saw and I recently inherited it. I cleaned it up a bit and cranked it. The thing runs great, no smoke. After running it I got to looking for a spark plug and never found it. Anyone familiar with this saw and where the plug is?

are parts still available for these saws? I'd like to run a little longer bar if I can get one. Also, anyone know what gauge chain it is?

Yes you can find parts, yes you can find larger bars and I’m pretty sure that’s a .063 gauge Chain.

My recent project is this sucker here.

Came out super well, it was a full rebuild and port. I do need to do some adjusting on the jug then I'm going to get a bigger carb and boot for it but I really like the pipe muffler mod I did.

Next one I have apart is my recent 2171 75cc. I cleaned up all the port work and will be ready to go soon, then my 2165 methanol pipe saw project.... that one will take a while to get finished. Gotta go to work tonight so instead of working today I'm taking my gma on a much needed lunch date. We used to go all the time before I started my new job, we hadn't been since. If I get time I'll take some pics of my John Deere B while I'm down there for you guys.

How about painting those two muffler bolts, looks like a sore thumb on that fresh muffler paint. [emoji6]

Nice job! I've been working on a Poulan Pro 395 and my double barrel style muffler mod hasn't gone the best, blew through the paper thin sheet metal. Twice. Grrrr

That sucks! I got a buddy who brazes to repair the muffler on my 90

I was gonna say, braze it, you can heat it up just right and it will flow and make a pretty weld.

Ya but if it makes you feel better the paint is already bubbled off the cover apparently 500ﾟ pain wasn't enough

Powder coat time?

I used 1200 on mine and it still bubbled, but I think it was because I put too many coats without it adequately drying so it bubbled, after that initial run and slight bubble though it hasn’t done it again.

Probably gonna try some 2000 degree header paint. The stuff that you have to cure in stages with heat. If not then powdercoat.
