OK, figured out how to get the clutch off, used an adjustable pin spanner like on motorcycle wheel bearings on old Brit motorcycles. Real long...
Jon, look everyone is telling you to pass on that pig. If you really want it, go after it, more opinions are not going to matter in your decision.
Post a picture of your black tag. Saw might be a 61 or a 66! The top cover is not from a 61 (looks to be from a 66) but the starter definitely is...
Jon, pass on that saw, it will end up being a pit into which you throw money. Find a clean 288XP or Lite and be happy!
Rainbows out the exhaust, nice brown one, look like over ripe bananas.
Nice looking saw Dewey, congratulations! Be safe!
Heavy saw, much more so than your 7900. Plus you don't know what is under all the dirt. Looks to have a starter problem, by the fairly new looking...
+1, I'm with Jon1270!
Correct Fuzz, H-380 industry D009. If it is a later version of the saw it may have rim instead of spur on it. All mine have been changed over to...
The gray/orange paint scheme reminds me of a crotch rocket bike. Not my cup of tea, rather have all orange!
1000 feet of altitude change will make a difference in the operation of the engine. When at 5000 feet the fuel to air mix needs to be reduced to...
Once you flatten out the can, you can cut out the gasket using a cheap set of kitchen scissors, and a leather or paper punch for the bolt holes...
For intake you can get that stuff at any auto parts store. If I am really in need of an EX gasket I cut two out of a beer or soda can and use them...
They had a number of different 'HS' series Tillotson carbs on the open port 61s; 163, 254, 263 and can also use the 260A/S off a late model 272,...
Clutch has to come off also, no tools I have fit it, have to come up with a 'red neck' tool. Still thinking about that. Perhaps I'll take a pic of...
Nice saw Fuzz, I just sold one to a customer, I hope he finds the saw as good as his old 353 E-Tech!
OK, it appears from some pictures of a Roper tank I found on eBay, that the entire tank needs to come off the engine in order to replace the fuel...
From the IPL it looks to be a multi part line, with a double barb where the line exits the tank. The line inside the tank and the filter are...
OK so have finally got it ready to start. It will start and run with a squirt of mix directly in the carb. Not pulling fuel, new carb kit, still...
This and Chainsaw Repair are the only two sites where the Mods are impartial and the members respect each other and the rules. It is not easy...
