[coyote62ny]

have any of you other collectors of old saws seen or have any ac lamb saws here is a pic of an ac lamb i restored last summer its the sd-5.8 580 west bend kart engine it was stuck when i bought it someone had tryed to put something in the plug hole and pound on the piston to free it up needless to say all that did was punch a big hole in the piston i had a nos piston and rings from my karting days this saw ended up with a totally rebuilt engine bearings seals piston rings and gaskets its now a running and cutting saw

well the 580 westbend engine is 95cc stock but this one has had the ports cut to kart racing specs and i am running a hl carb with the throat opened to 1 inch and an open manifold lamb ran 7/16 pitch chain thats what is on this saw but its skip tooth chain the bar mount is a special lamb mount i had to modify a homelite zip bar to fit runs great and has a lot of power it will turn 7000 running free out of a cut i am building another ac lamb that has a 2742 west bend engine that is 105 cc stock

Buddy of mine is infatuated with Lamb saws.
He is a logger by trade, but also works as a caretaker for an Adirondack Estate/Great Camp, where he stumbled upon a like new Lamb. The owner gave it to him in trade for a small amount of labor.
It's looks pretty sweet! Although I'm not sure of the model.

the ac lamb saws are very collectable and very hard to find i still need to find an original front handle for mine if your friend has any parts he might want to part with message me here on ope
