670 story

[2188redhead]

Hey everyone,I'm new to the site,I do know a couple of you already,it was suggested I post this here,I won't mention any names,but I recently bought what I was told was a 670 champ,and it supposedly ran great,not so much at all!!
I ran it and it was a dog,I heat with wood so I cut allot,this barely cut as far as I was concerned.
It wouldn't re-start when hot,leaked oil all over, contacted seller with out much good help,will at least free help,seemed to be about more money.
I'm no expert by any stretch but I took it with a 2150 I have to a old jred dealer,he pointed out to me everything that WAS NOT 670 champ parts,like a Chinese coil,different carb,clutch,top cover etc,plus it leaked oil and gas from the get go,I was offered work done to it,but at my expense.
After buying a new coil 87.00 that fixed the hot start problem,oh and recoil partion was broke in 2 spots as well.
I sent a message to seller,and if u guess who,u could win 2 tickets to never never land ranch!? And gave 2 options as this was a bad deal all around,refund me 125 or send a return label at his/her expense and refund me the 340 I paid for it,I simply and nicely said I didn't want to argue or debate it,of course that's that's what's happening,I was asked how I came up with 125, I said simple coil 87.00 partion 14.00 3 hrs drive time for parts plus still need to fix oil/gas leak thought it was more than fair considering.
What do u guys think

How was the saw listed in the for sale ad? How did you pay for it? Could file a claim through PayPal stating it was not as described and seller is refusing to take care of the issues. Sorry to hear you are getting the run around. It’s always a concern when buying a saw on the forums. Hopefully you get something worked out with the seller

None of my business but you are missing the inner bar plate or white nylon wear pad. The plate may help with the leak. A chain catch would also be nice as yours is broke off. Was this a seller on this site?? I think your resolution seems fair. Just saying.

It wasn't listed,I was looking,he found me!! I asked any questions I would have otherwise asked,but it just didn't pan out in my favor

It dosent surprise me,it wasn't meant to be a shelf queen,but it was meant to operate and be correct

I sent you a private message. I'm no help with an old jonsered, but I'm right down the road. We'll have to run some saws sometime.

 

[Dub11]

Fixed for accuracy

its boxed up and on its way to Tim as we speak..lol

 

[2188redhead]

I'd get a refund.

And was the seller from here? We kind of need to know cuz this is some *B-S.... being passed iff as good.

once I get a refund of some sort ill let u know, im almost positive you all know him

I am guessing this is the same 670 that you are selling on CL for $500?

If I was a betting man I'd bet the gas cap is leaking and the oil leak is the oil pick up hose. If a guy puts a little sealant on the bottom hose prior to install and then on the top prior to installing the pump 90% of the time it works every time!
Also as mentioned above an inner and outer bar plate is a must. There is a few of us on here that have lots of parts in these series of saws if needed.

Wouldn’t want to pile on someone, which will happen if you mention names. And then the finger pointing will start.

The entire thing is unclear, it depends on how the saw was portrayed to you. I don’t know anything about that model. I can tell you that certain old husky’s have NLA clutches but can be retrofitted with some from newer models without detriment. The carb looks oem to me, but I’m guessing wrong for the model? As for the coil, I can understand the hot start issue, but I can’t see how it being bad would decrease performance-usually coil issues are all or none. Unless it’s totally wrong for the model and the timing is way off.

Does the saw run like it should now? Is the piston good looking through the ex port?

I have found the opposite about buying on the forum than what’s mentioned above. Usually it’s a safe buy if it’s from a respected member here. No one wants their name tarnished and the guys here have pride and integrity.

I have been into maybe 1 or 2 of these saws and I can tell you the clutch, carb and top cover are all oem. There is no AM top cover for a jonsered, they had several different tilly carb numbers along the way and that's one of the later clutches. According to the serial number it's a 1996.

I sold this fella the saw for $300+ shipping, I disclosed that I had only ran it for a few cuts, I did replace the seals, carb kit and swapped the tank in the saw as it was very faded, I checked the piston by pulling nthe muffler, I also spoke to the owner on the phone about the saw, said it was in better shape then he expected by the pics, I offered on multiple occasions to repair anything the saw needed, even offered to send him a different saw at my cost, I have and always will stand behind anything I sell, the parts are all genuine jred/Husqvarna with the exception of the coil, the saw started and ran fine with that coil for me and it's what the saw came to me with. When the OP asked for a refund I did ask how he came to the amount, but I never once griped it was to much or said I wouldn't pay it a I simply asked for his PayPal address, after he sent me the wrong address, I got that cleared up w PayPal and got him what he asked for, I do find it odd he says it's not a 670 but has it listed on Craigslist as a 670, I get he is going by what a dealer has told him since his knowledge on this model seems limited. I didn't know this thread existed till last evening or I would have responded sooner, I work in a ER and we are being hit hard right now w covid, so maybe he started this before I could reply to his txt. IDK. But I have tried to reply as quickly as I could.
