JONSERED Jonsereds

[FergusonTO35]

Thanks alot! I 'spose I'll leave it on there until it's time to actually replace those components and keeping greasing through the crank. I got it all together around 10 pm last night. Stood there and thought "would the baby wake up if I just started it up and revved the engine a few times to oil the bar?" I concluded that the wife might wake up, which would be even worse!

One of my top cover screws was missing and the cheapest price i found was $10.00/3 for OEM. Took one of them to the hardware store and turns out the correct size is 5mm x .8, 25mm in length. Went ahead and bought several 'cause I tend to lose things.

If anybody has the hankering for a 2150 here is one on Fleabay that looks decent and is open to offers:

I met a guy who was referred to me for working on saws from a recent customer, and he has two saws that he wanted me to go over and clean up/tune up, and do what needs to be done to make them right...

One saw is a 2255, obviously a newer saw, and he hasn't abused it from the looks of it. He said he loves that saw.

The other one is a Jonsered 450, and it looks like an old dog... and I have never messed with this model in particular, out of the 100 saws I have played with now...

The compression seems very low on it and I think the rings are worn out. I am going to pull the muffler first and inspect the piston for wear, and then I am going to recommend not rebuilding it, as I have read some pretty weak reviews about these 450 models before, seems like it wouldn't be worth it.

Does anyone know what the healthy compression for an old Jonsered 450 is? I would assume 135 minimal at sea level and 150 is ideal?

This saw falls down the rope when held up and doesn't put up much resistance at all when being pulled over, just pop,pop,pop, easy as you please.

A little eye candy of a personal "big saw" of mine, passed from my Dad to me.... it is a Jonsereds 630 with low hours of homeowner use, that I converted to an OEM Husqvarna KS 272XP piston and cylinder with a little work done on it, base gasket deleted, 272 intake and bigger carb, with velocity stack and K&N air filter. Muffler modded.

I have a new old stock Windsor 28 inch bar on it with Stihl RS chain. I have a 20 inch Oregon power match bar as well when I need a shorter one(when I don't use my 346xp'd Jonsered cs2149)

Runs awesome and I am very happy with it.

I see those 630's on Fleabay fairly often. What years were they made? Is there a Husky model they correlate to?

268 and 272 and probably a few others I'm forgetting. I gots a 630 chassis thats getting a 272 head one of these day.

 

[RYNOSAWR]

Yeah, they are great saws, 630's were from 1982 to 1997


Part of the Husky 62, 162, 266, 268, 272, Jonsereds 625, 630, 630 super, 630 west coast, 670 series saws


One of the biggest series of heavy duty 63+cc to 72cc saws made by Husky and J'red

Also one of my favorites to work on and own

You won't regret it Wayne!

Sweet on the bar! I have 2 670s right now and love them.

I have a good running 520 that use regular and will check compression reading on it tomorrow and let you know what its reading is. The 520 is pretty much same design as 450 and time period, but approx 49cc instead of 44cc of the 450.

Thank you Sir, but, I am sure this one is a goner..... I talked to the owner and asked him how it ran, and if it shut off when it got hot and lost power.....

He admitted it did.... so, I am going to check and see if the piston is really carboned up and the rings are stuck or if they are just slap worn out like I think they are....

I'm guessing those engines new were 150 or so? The 520 I mentioned showed 130 on couple gauges I have. I'm at 1,600ft elevation so figure could add maybe a couple pounds to that reading. I got this saw used couple years back so can't compare it to maybe its younger days. However, been using it with 8pin rim .325 pitch 16 inch setup and it has plenty of torque. Little thing impressed me enough that I've hung onto it and grab it often for firewood and brush clearing work. I usually just fix saws for people and when they trade me something, I later move it on down the road. However, as mentioned have kept this saw and like it. I bought another 520 parts saw just to try to keep this one going in the future.

Note, sounds like you have the right game plan for the 450. Just figured that would respond back and add a little info.

Here's a 2153 that looks to be in nice shape on Fleabay. $227.50 with two days to go, if I'm not mistaken this saw is a 346XP in Jonny colors.

What it on the last hour it'll shoot up! I was bidding on a 670 a while back and had the highest bid for 3 days. Last hour was like shark week it jumped 150 lol

 

[FergusonTO35]

I bet it will. As nice as the 346/2153 are, I'm quite happy with my $195.00 Dolly 5105.

Just picked up a 2152C from Chipper1. Runs good, clean low hour saw. Has some slight wear on the bottom of the handle, but the stickers are still on the bottom of the saw. OEM (Husqvarna cast into side of) cylinder and piston, never been apart as far as I know.

Will be seeing what the piston looks like since there is/has been a lot of hubbub surrounding whether cat mufflers cause overheating and scoring. Has the metal intake boot clamp. Has been run with 42:1 mix. I will be running 40:1.

Runs good now, but have plans for the mdavlee modified 3/4" pipe outlet muffler to go on it... going to put 3/8" chain, and 16" bar on it, 7 pin rim.

Not a little screamer like a 2045 with a 346 cylinder kit, but it still revs pretty good. (ran that 2045 with 346 kit on it)

Will post a picture later tonight, after the muffler mod. Just got home from a day of working.

Also ran a 550xp, that cut pretty good.

 

[Sleeper]

Here's the pictures... the last one shows the bottom. There was another sticker on there but it got rubbed off on the ride home. Took a rough road home. Fun when a wrong turn takes you somewhere you usually wouldn't go.

Cat muffler is definitely a choke point, tiny holes in the baffle separating the cat element and the exhaust port, then the exhaust has to flow through a 3/8" tube to the outlet under the deflector. Not doing favors for letting the saw breathe.

I suspect a decent improvement in power from just swapping the mufflers. Will run it and retune it once I get a bar and chain on it and can bury it in a piece of ash.

Muffler mod and weld looks good on the 2152. Also, looks good having some Mac yellow in the background.

mdavlee did the muffler for it. Looks great.

Mac is being built. Slow progress on it. 87cc, three boost ports, six transfer ports, and will be fed by a Tilly HL. Will be having an adapter made for a 395xp air filter to clamp to the carb. Only have one top cover for this series saw, but have another waiting on a rebuild. That one will have a stock filter setup.
