Does the recoil assy need to removed from the fan housing/tank assy?

 

[sefh3]

I don't think it needs to be removed. It should all come off in one assembly

 

[dall]

no it can stay in the tank assembly

 

[dall]

if need more pics i can get more

Before I go much further.......

how long has the saw sat jeremy id clean carb and see if that is all it needs

 

[huskihl]

Yeah that'll do it. My 625 was like that with sawdust more than once. Line would crack and fuel filter would fall off.

Probably at least a year I'm guessing.
Carb is cleaned & rebuilt.
Need a fuel filter and some fuel hose.
Impulse hose appears to be okay, but while its torn down like this, I may just replace it.

i had to silversolder up some holes on mine.



HTH




this saw had issues too.. i filed the points nice and flat.. then reset them. they have to be spot on!!! i think 16 thou. even then u may have to adjust a thou either way for best performance.



went nuts and blasted it and painted it too.




would definitely check the tank venting too.

 

[Adirondackstihl]

I couldn't get the tank to hold vacuum so I assume the vent is working

I've had in of these aggravating suckers on my bench for a while too. Definitely not a friendly designed saw.

One of the worse I've worked on!
Now I remember why I hated these "square bodies".

Gonna have to hire the tooth fairy to help with the impulse hose I think

The paint job looks great.
Is that a rattle can or auto finish?
Does your 031 have the quickstop option?
Here's a few shots of mine. I think it needs seals.

Hang in there
