Tinkering with a 2175

[Xr650jkallen]

This old 2175 has been setting in the shed for at least 15 years. Figured I'd drag it out and atleast get it running. I'm not even sure where I got it.

Geez look at the air filter

Got a decent carb on it atleast

Fuel lines are garbage

Trash

Figured I'd atleast clean up some of the casting marks


Gonna work on the exhaust side tomorrow.

Might be a decent saw for my boy to learn on.

Nice! These saws are great to play with. Mess something up and there is another one in the trash can next door!

Got her running today, the bar and chain are toast. Gonna put a 14 or 16 on it. I think she's gonna be a decent limb saw. Slight porting, MM, and timing advance woke it up pretty good.

I'll get a cookie vid when I grab a new chain.

Anybody got a chain recommendation? I haven't bought a chain for a small saw in a long time. I'm pretty sure its 3/8lp

Stihl 63PS is quite nice.
