Tooo much time to be in front of this damm computer! Purchased ANOTHER welder. Now I'll be able to weld thin stainless for new maple pans AND weld aluminum to re-fabricate my old basstracker boat. Not to mention a chainsaw case or 2?

Metal flag makes me think of my 451s.

70e or 66e Pull the muffler to know for sure. 66e much less common (and more valuable?)

This one will work, buy it or I will just to have for ???? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Jonsered-455-535-Walbro-HDA-52A-Carburetor/282950598962?epid=1458658148&hash=item41e12b8132:g:d4wAAOSwjIta60X7:sc:USPSFirstClass!54501!US!-1

This tillitson site has some good info, tho not much specific to the HK series. The HDA-3 will also fit up to the 451 https://tillotson.ie/resources/

Try pressure testing the carb for leaks also. If its the original tilly HK with separate "sandwich" style metering plate that can warp especially if its the plastic version. I gave up on rebuilding this carb and replace them with a walbro from later 450/525 or 455/535 models. HDA-6 or HDA-52.

More confusion----- From early workshop manual 50,51,55 all open port? Later 51,55 EPA (closed port 55)

Made 2 of these "trees". One for the showroom at the store and one for the garage at home. And the only tool you need for the build is you favorite little chainsaw! It holds a dozen saws and only takes up a 4'x 4' floor space.

Google the UT number that's on the sticker under the choke knob. ut-10700 = model 300 ut-10711 = cs50 etc....

Sounds like maybe the intake boot. Make sure the rubber spacers are in place above and below the carb. If one is missing the top could be flexing the carb too much ??

So when are they going to come out with a reversible chain for the mechanicly challenged ?? Blount, are you listening??

Tiltons TOTAL brand AM parts catalog from 2008-2009 used HERR part numbers for sprockets and recoil springs. They put a T (for total) in front of sprocket numbers and H in front of spring numbers. Tiltons later catalog from 2012 used a different number system.

The look on the cows faces are like-- " HOLY HUMAN that's a nice running saw!!"

That's why I read these threads. Every once in a while I laugh out loud at the monitor. Wife says......what's so funny? This time I just said.............nevermind....
