Dies your chain cover have the square or angled front lower lip?

I discovered the type with the angled lip only has 2 screw points and slopes in towards the bar and sits the outer dog crooked.

Angled lower front corner:





And the cover with the squared lower corner for 2 lower mounting bolts as well as the outer edge running square:

I have ordered a square cover with no chain brake stuff in it from the cheapchainsawparts dude so I can mount an outer dog on both of them

I made thus yesterday from an inner dog

You blue your bars?! I never would have thought of that. How does it stand up? I do rust bluing, may have to try it out.

And to answer the question of how they hold up, the bar I did a while back has done several tanks of fuel and looks as good as the day I blued it

They look awesome.

With the cover meant for only an inner dog, simply put the third bolt in then mount the dog normally with the other bolts. Comes out pretty straight. I'd want a chain catcher on it with a support bushing in it though so you didn't have to strain the cover much.

Anybody have any luck getting burnt on Gunk off the outside of a cylinder? I even tried the typhoon parts washer at work.

I don't know if you really need a set of double dogs and a K and N filter .It's a west coast thing,thick bark but then again a 2100 is a west coast saw .When in Rome -----

It's not a matter of need..... When I think 2100 it makes me think of a rat rod. Pretty cool saws. Probly will get used more than what I thought.

Might not just be a west coast thing. Dad had troubles with his 2100s freezing up in extremely cold temps or light powder snow. Foam filters are faster to change and shake out, easier to carry spares. He said some guys ran em. He stuffed pieces of wool sock under the air filter cover which wicked moisture away from the filter. He also ran double dogs, and they cut lots of little Alberta pecker poles. The mill wanted the notch on the stump, and double dogs allowed him to reposition his body a lot less to complete the task at hand if the tree was 10" or smaller he wouldn't notch it, just run the saw one handed using the dogs and push it over with the other. This backfired on him one day though when his bar tip hit a willow and kicked. He said he could have lost a leg that day. Blocking the governor and no notch falling was when they made their big money, paid by the butt.

He also said that in those days the 2100s came with no brake but the brake covers could be purchased separately and installed by the dealer. He said all of his were set up that way as they were already mandatory falling for P&G at that time. He also told me he ordered his with the jungle muffler because he found them easier on the ears than the standard side exit when falling.

My cover was cracked in a few places anyway. I don't like leaving the carb box open

*heavy sigh*
Farmers I was dropping some trees for had one for sale. He had it from new and it had done seriously little work and in great shape. I ran it to drop a tree too large for my saws. So smooth, lovely low-down torque. Loved it. They needed some money would let it go for, IIRC NZ$550 and I just didn't have the cash at that time so alerted an Ozzy anotherMothaBrotha and he paid and I sent it off to him. He rubs my nose in it at every chance he can get ;-)

Its in good hands brother after all I am the 2100 whisperer there that well looked after there almost tucked in to bed at night

Yeah, couldn't have gone to a better home mate. Have you bought yourself a sawmill yet ;-). I missed out on one on ebay because I was in Canada and didn't learn about it until I got home.

 

[460cixy]

No but rob made a mil of sorts seems to work

pics or it didn't happen

Under the clutch assembly there is a little dust seal. Is there another saw a guy can still order this seal for or is it NLA?

If you have the stock number often times it came be crossed referenced unless like Stihl it is OEM .As such they own the rights to it world wide .However given enough time if it's a popular item that can generate huge sales somebody will make it .It's kind of like a model A Ford or a Jeep cj .You could build an entire vehicle from after market parts .
