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...

I bought myself a PM800 today & think I got a fairly good deal on it.(I'll let y'all know later) It's supposed to have good compression,but no spark.Looking at the IPL,I see it has an electronic ignition module like the 600 series has.The part # is 95553,but I see the module has many other part...

I bought the serrated nuts by mistake a few yrs.ago & rather than toss 'em I put the nut in a deep well socket & held it up against my bench grinder & removed the serrations,as per Mark's instructions.

Thanks Al! The problem is not that the studs are worn,but rather that whoever had the saw lost 2 out of 3 nuts used & substituted incorrect nuts.I have some serrated nuts here,but I'd rather have the non-serrated nuts & be correct.

I'm trying to find out the correct size & pitch of the bar stud nuts used on the 600 series saws.I know they're an M8,but arer they a 1.25pitch?

I picked up this PM610 back a couple of weeks ago.The seller found it stashed away in his shed that he said he took in trade a bunch of yrs.ago & didn't remember much about it.I got the saw & put a new fuel filter in it along with the correct plug.I fueled it up & within a few pulls it was...

And here I thought you just plum forgot,sorry.I know what you're going through,I had an angiogram done on my heart last week & the doc found 2 minor blockages in the arteries,but not enough to warrant putting in stents (yet).He did find that one of the valves is calcified & needs to be...
