I picked up this Timberbear a little more than a yr.ago.It had some issues which I thought I'd straightened out,but I went to loan it out to my brother & it wouldn't start.I left it set all this time until a few days ago.The switch was bad,it was missing a thrust washer in the clutch drum,& it...

Hello fellow Solo saw enthusiasts! I'm in need of an oil cap for a 645.As I understand it other saw models use the same cap.(639 & 650)

Mark,here's what the SP60 has for a carb.It might be difficult to determine what it is.

I went to put the ignition module on the J'red 535 yesterday & it's the wrong one.I had to buy another used one that should be the correrct fit.Today I unloaderd the trailer that was heaped full of bark & chips from splitting into the fire pit,there's a fire waiting to happen there.I think it's...

Thanks for the input guys.Shortly after I made my post I took a look at the settings on the carb & they were waaaay off.Apparently the idle is set with the lo needle.I set the needles to 1 1/2 turns out from seating & it fired up but ran a tad fast,so I turned out the lo about another 1/4 turn &...

Well fellas,there's something amuck with my SP60.Either someone changed out the original carb,or I have a weird SP60.The IPLs I have show there should be a boot/grommet for the needles,plus there's supposed to be an idle screw,my saw has neither.There is no opening on the tank handle for the...

I bought this PM650 back a couple of weeks ago for $88 (a steal IMO).The seller knew nothing about it,so I took a chance.I got the saw & put a new fuel filter on it & a few pulls later it was running like a champ.The carb was way out of tune & got that situated.I went to shut it off & it...

I finally picked up some kerosene yesterday & put that in the oil tank of the PM800.It puked out at the oil pad like it should,then I let it sit overnight with the kerosene in it & pumped it a few more times,then drained it.I mixed some kerosene with the bar oil & put that in,put a 24 in.bar &...

Is this a D176 mount?

Now here's a tale you've probably never heard before.Most folks buy their saws at a flea market,craig's list,FB marketplace,or somewhere similar.I just bought an Eager Beaver 2014 at the barbershop when I got my hair cut the other day.A fella the barber knows had the saw & asked him if he knew...

I'm still baffled about the non-oiling issue on the PM800.I took the automatic pump out as Mark suggested & I tested it.It seemed to work just fine,so I put it back in.I pumped the manual button & it gave about 2 good squirts of oil at the pad,then it quit.It gets some oil to the pad,but very...

Thanks Mark! I have a couple of NOS pumps on hand that I secured from Bob J.before he closed up shop.I'll just try a new pump & see if that solves the problem.I can't really see the manual oiler disc going bad,although stranger things have happened..

I need some help here in figuring out why the manual oiler won't work.I pulled the cover off the oil tank yesterday & the automatic pump was securely in place & the oil pick up seemed to be in good condition with a clear pick up screen.When I push the oiler button I get very little oil if any at...

Well I didn't find a 610 that I could cannabalize the ignition module from,but I went through my parts tote & found a BN ignition module that I bought from maxthemacman a couple of yrs.ago & I instal;led that.I put a shot of fuel in the plug hole,installed a DJ6J plug in it & 2 pulls later it...

Can someone tell me what plug is used in the PM800? I got the saw today & it has a CJ6Y in it,which I don't believe is the correct plug.If I'm not mistaken,the DE80 used a DJ6J,or a DJ6. The saw definitely has no spark,so I'm gonna try to find a non-running 610 & "borrow" the ignition...
