Thanks, yeah I love it already. Funny thing is I've been thinking about fabricating something from scratch the last couple weeks.

Picked up this beauty today on my way home from work for $20. Not so much for the tiny vise but for the Wilton Power Arm that it's attached to. Should make a nice chainsaw holder with some mods.

If you find another one for $20 I'll take it

I picked this up from dad, thought I bet the primer bulb is bad since it hasn't been used in around 15 years. I push on it and it just shatters exploding pieces everywhere. Cylinder looks good through the spark plug hole. I assumed the carb wouldn't work, the tank was still full of gas. I poured gas in the carb a few times and got it to fire a few times. Then I tried a full throttle start with starting fluid ready to keep it going to rev it up. It revved up very well, but didn't seem to want any starting fluid helping it out. Then it just idles perfectly on what is probably 15 year old gas. That really surprised me. I guess I'll try porting it.

I'd make a test cut video, but the chain tensioner pin is missing.

Picked up a freebie today .I think the crank bearings are bad and its in pretty rough shape.

 

[Daserlon]

The bearings and cylinder are good. The piston not so much.

I'll re-piston it and see how it runs. If its good I'll look for the other parts it needs.

I've just found out those saw have some funky nla PTO bearing and seal bs going on.

Thats not so good. I'm glad the bottom end seems fine

 

[Sawsparky]

My first “new”saw? Been wanting one of these too. Used $15 clutch cover for the win! Gota watch the bay pretty closebut there are a few deals every now and again.

The 2071 I scabbed back together with husky parts to see if it'll run, the cs-490 had all the parts to get my cs-500p going.
