Make sure you find out if it is Wico or Phelon, they are not interchangeable.
I have of those here that has no spark. I will eventually get motivated enough to do something with it. Mine has an unusual full wrap top handle.

Full wrap ..... I'm jealous! How cool is that, a mini muscle saw! I can't believe guys like tinnman and a few others don't do videos of these old saws. Just good stuff...

I hear you. The coil is black if that makes a difference?

Look on the flywheel for Wico, I cannot remember if the Phelon was marked on the flywheel. Both of mine are Wico which seemed to hold up better. The points box will have a different shape between the two as well. Coil, flywheel, points, condenser, box etc. are all different between the two.
I have this pile of 20-ish saws to go through. Been sitting for probably 8 years. Many had new fuel systems before being parked.
You want videos of old saws? Some of us members used to do saw displays/shows at Heritage festivals. We would also get together a few times a year just to show off our collections and cut some wood. Here is a link to one of those members youtube. Click "videos" towards the top.

Much better. Even tried a fix for the cracked up cover.

Plus she runs like new again.

2 small Husky saws today. 136 and 141. The 136 just needed new fuel line with filter, new plug and proper tune. The 141 on the other hand was tore down to block and completely cleaned. New fuel line with filter, all new clutch parts, new plug and new pull rope. Also new impulse tube as they like to wear a hole in them from rubbing on the intake tube= lean intake charge and poor fuel delivery. Waiting on carb kit, ( Zama W6), muffler and bare clutch cover.
OEM muffler was rust rotten and clutch cover was damaged from improper installation over the bar with the adjuster in the wrong position in correlation to the bar hole causing the plastic to bust and cock the bar when running that would throw the chain.
I must say I do love working on these little leggo saws... so simple.

Three more across the bench today. All now runners. Two have points ignition, been a while since I had to setup a pair.
That Sears saw on top of the weed trimmer looks like the 1st gas chainsaw I ever ran. I think they were made by Roper.
awful knawful

cs 2166, fixed, new cross top end.C's 2150. Issues unknown. Been sitting a long time.
Anyone have thoughts on this one? I just picked it up and after doing a little research, I'm trying to figure out if I got a hybrid or if this is the real deal 242xp. I'm planning to pull the top end off and see if the scratches on the piston that I saw are on the cylinder, too - probably looking at a re-ring based on the condition of the piston and ring currently. Still has good compression, though. Looks to be one of the closed port from the view through the exhaust port - anyone have thoughts?
Label on the crankcase indicates a hybrid to me. I'm going with a model 42 in wolf clothing, not sure if they can be converted or not. I seen one vid on Youtube claiming a 42 with 242xp PC.

Picked this up at a garage sale. Just needs a good service I reckon.

Well technically not on my bench, Still have to make the bench but my 11"x30" lathe just showed up today and I got it drug into my shed for the time being. This will make turning cylinders a lot easier than my 6" lathe. Ordered it at the end of June from Precision Mathews, everyone is back logged on equipment orders.

Cylinders for chainsaws? Sleeves?
