Alpina and Castor saws

[exSW]

I know the guy selling the saw and I’m half interested in buying it... I just don’t know a fair offer.

I’m not sure on the model number. All I know isIt turns over and feels like it has compression.

If you don't i will.

It's hard to distinguish on those the difference between the 700-750-760-800 saws, but looking at the handle I would say it's either a 700 or a 750.

I'd be interested in it also, or if you buy it, you can trade me out of my parts saw.

Bear in mind, parts are pretty much impossible to come by.

I’ve been watching evilbay for an Alpina 70 piston kit like forever.

Only one listed has $51 shipping from Italy. [emoji90]

Not willing to commit that much to postage.

Yours looks to be the 70cc
Get it if it's cheap.
I ran them cutting timber in the 90s
Fine saws *s-wordty coils

Weren't those sold under the Cub Cadet name for awhile, or was that Efco? I wonder if any of our UK members could get parts for them?

Bought mine new. Chit the coil thd first month. Replaced under warranty its ran ever since .
Fuel tanks will leak at the seam also.
Also sold as Castor.
I've got parts for the saw and a Castor 34cc weedeater from Italy. Shipping wasn't bad just got to find someone who doesn't want to stick b it to the Yankee.

I would love to see Alpina come back to the USA. More choices is always a good thing.

Not going to happen.

I ended up buying the saw this afternoon. The piston looks good and the saw seems to have low hours on it.
The saw doesn’t have spark and coil was already off the saw in a bag of stuff.

It's an 800. I'd really like to have it.

As mentioned above, a lot of the modern Alpinas have issues with coils going bad. I think the 700/750/760/800 series just use a dummy coil though (no timing
circuit) so it should be pretty easy to get you up and running. Check to see if the coil wire is potted or not.

Looks some like a generic Wico coil. [emoji848]
