Jonsered 625/630/670 saws are my favorite for many reasons. But as of late rubber av saws have been bothering me. So I gave up on older saws.
Talked with @Dub11 some this morning and my interest in these has been rejuvenated!
Here's what we came up with,
These saws have the large av mount up front and 2 sets of small mounts on the rear. Well the husky 262 spring AV mounts are the large mount diameter but too long.
If you look at the 262 mount there is 4 tight winds around an inner threaded sleeve.
I bottomed out a screw and tightened down the sleeve inside the spring like this.
With a little trial and error I ended up taking off 1.5 winds off the spring to make it the same length as the rubber mount. I used a Dremel with a cut off wheel to cut the spring.
It's currently -11*F so I only ran the saw 10 min or so. But definitely less vibes, next to none on the front handle and less on the rear. I'm super excited about this!
