Husky 162/272--Jonny 630/670 project thread.

@mrxlh nice! I might have shim washers at work.

@Spike60 @Woodslasher remember the nightmare of different parts for the starter to dog spacing? Oy…

Here are the dimensions in English @Czed I measured 5 of them, they all were within a “.001 or .002” of each other.View attachment 367674View attachment 367675View attachment 367676

Thanks I haven't had a chance to work on my saws just what people drop off like this minty 288 with 6 different fasteners and a interesting ignition system
Sentimental saw he says

Tell me if you find a bulk source
that would be handy.

Thinking McMaster Carr…. some type of machinery shim???

 

[mrxlh]

The OD. Isn’t .780ish, but is still smaller than the worm gear dia. $14 for 10 seems like a good enough deal to see if they will work. I’ll measure a crank tomorrow after work to see if .500” will work…

 

[mrxlh]

If you need it you can have it for shipping.

Thanks a bunch @Ronie finally got to the JRed 630 to 720 (272) fired off this evening. Cannot thank you enough for the carb that made this super simple….

Ok gurus, is the Johnny cases the same top cover hole configuration as the Husky? Front top cover screw forward of the recoil hole 2 piece ignition, front top cover hole behind the the recoil hole 1 piece ignition? If so, who has a nice 2 piece ignition they want to swap for a nice 1 piece ignition?

Yes, for all intents and purposes the only difference in the cases is the colour, bolthole changes match the ignition changes as well on the red ones.

Measured the pto side of the crank where the clutch bearing and this shim rides, exactly 0.500” so the will work, even if you have to hit them with a sanding drum on the id a hare.

Somewhere in here I have posts showing different cases have meat to drill and tap and some don’t.

I got a really nice top cover set for my 720 that was for single coil case bolt pattern. As luck would have it there was enough meat to drill a tap for the correct hole.

 

[mrxlh]

I picked up this old girl on Friday. Did the full wraps come with the metal brake flag?

 

[davidwyby]

I dunno but that clutch cover is something, more pics?

Oh it’s a masterpiece alright… The flag is in good shape, but I recall metal flags not working with a full wrap??? @Spike60

 

[Spike60]

Had one on a 266 for a while with no problem. Doesn't look like there's any problem/interference in the pic either, so should be good to go.

The one issue I know of is that the metal flags don't work with a deco. Won't allow it to pop out.

I don't know if they are necessary, but there is a metal flag specific for full wraps .

Here she is in all her glory, and oh my….

I threw one on from a 83’ 266SE and it didn’t interfere with the wrap at all. I had it barred up and was going to cut with it until I found an air leak. I bought it figuring it would need bearings and seals minimum.

Looks much better with a nice cover on it… While I was at it, I replaced the spur sprocket drum with a NOS rim drum , plastic deflector, new bearing and 8 pin.

Did you get that from the Amish?
They will absolutely wreck a saw

Neighbor dropped off some 2 series he'd had them at a couple of shops they couldn't fix them

288 with great compression

272 with no compression it's in good shape that's the oem top cover just faded weird
I have a piston kit,seals,carb kit and fuel line on order for it.

He gave me this nice 257 just needs a carb kit,fuel line great compression.
