Sorry to hear and see this Mark. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Do what the good nurse's tell you to do. I would be happy to help out as well but I'm pretty far away to do that.

Thats a HS172 carb. Off a Partner P100 maybe? I don't know why so many HS carbs didn't get the H stamped on them. Your kit you need should be a RK-23HS kit. The thing your asking about is your main nozzle check valve.

Sorry that ship has sailed. I'm full up on .40SW brass though.

Anyone need any 06 brass? I got 100 pcs of once fired LC brass from the civilian marksmanship program. Plus I think I have another 40 pcs of mixed HS military brass. All have been wet tumbled, sized, trimmed, primer crimps removed and then dry tumbled. I would trade for some 45 colt or 44 Mag...

I wouldn't waste much time looking for a used press. Titan reloading has the Lee breach lock Challenger press on sale for like $72. Add a couple breech lock bushings and maybe a lee universal decapping die and you can have the whole thing shipped to your door for a little over $100. I have had...

Quite a few of these saws got toasted because of being leaned out when guys didn't realize they were trying to tune with a rev limited coil. In fact the green coils were limited to I think it was 10K. Easy to put a Husky non limited coil on them, I have been told a bb Husky piston will work but...

Do you know who put what piston in that saw? Oem would have been a single ring piston. I would guess the OEM rev limited coil has been swapped.

Bud? I ain't your bud

Your Partner 395 is actually a version of a Poulan 2400. The Poulan 2400 was probably built in Nashville Arkansas and I'm not sure if the Partner was actually assembled in Huron Park or not. Maybe it was for Canadian sales and export. They were doing strange things back then over border...

Your right about mucking up the for sale thread. I was just trying to help his sale pointing out that the 133 super was more improved then what you said and is a better saw. I'm done

It comes back to me the top cover, air filters, muffler and maybe handles were different too. So its not just a "newer" model, there were several significant changes. And btw, that's a nice example you have for sale.

It's been some time since I messed with one of these but if memory is correct there was quite a bit of internal differences between the regular and the Super. It had to do with crankcases and different type of crank bearings or such. The IPL's show it.

Straight 405 or a 405 Plus?

Yes 35 degree Yes

My 7900 came new with a 28" Dolmar branded Oregon bar that took 92 DL. I wasn't happy about it either as a regular Oregon branded Doo9 bar is 93DL. I laid the Dolmar 28" bar on top a Oregon Doo9 bar and you could see the Dolmar branded bar was just a bit shorter.
