JONSERED Jonsereds

[davidwyby]

I’m a desert rat and would certainly want heat on my fingertips in a cold climate…do they have a kit to put A/C on them?

 

[davidwyby]

Also, since I’m here I just got a 2175 from @Cat 525 that @huskihl ported. Only ran it a bit in small wood and she’s not quite a beauty queen but with the chain resting on the wood at idle, when I stabbed the throttle it tried to slam myself and the log together and chips exploded everywhere. I think she’s gonna be my new favorite.

 

[davidwyby]

Oh…@spike60 I have a burning question I’ve been meaning to ask. Is there an all metal vintage Jred 70-80cc saw that is closed port and will run with modern saws ported?

A 70E? maybe was a hotrod that could be made to run

70E torque wise, but not chain speed wise. They're only supposed to turn 11,800 or there abouts. That's why they typically had 8 pin rims on them; looking for a little more chain speed.

On the 80cc side, a proper 830 will definitely keep up with anything in the 80cc class. I say proper because the case fed transfers we think of with the 830/930 were not on the early saws. The first of the 30's had the same top ends as the 20's. The service bulletin announcing this came out in early 1989, but did not include a serial number break, as it was announcing an impending change. These saws all run domed pistons, and they all had good compression out of the box. If you run across one with low compression, but see no scoring, it's likely because of the thin ring pistons they put in some of them. Not a problem cause there are decent AM pistons in both 52mm and 54mm.

Muffler mods aren't that easy on these things. There are 4 mufflers for the 900 series saws, but the one with the lower exit is the one to have. Just get rid of the box behind the baffle, and you're all done.

The 80 and 90 of course belong in here too.
Especially the 80, which owned the class back in it's day. But I've always been pretty much locked into the 800/900 family.

Heres a clock. Came from George Blake in ny.

I have a 70e ported by awol. Has an 044 piston in it. She flys

Can I borrow it? :-D Or make a vid!

Never heard about that one. Is that just a straight drop in?

No. I believe he had to modify the piston and make it a pop up. I know he cut squish and maybe the base etc.. I was planning on putting in new crank seals so i will take off cylinder and take some pics..it definately can outperform some ported and machined 372 oe's.

Alan can pretty much make anything run good.

Will a 2166 (xtorq higher top) cover and flag work on a 2071?

 

[Spike60]

Yes Dave. They can be used and will not interfere with each other. But they will both be sitting higher and there will be less room between the cover and the handle. Will be a little tight for someone with big mitts, or anyone wearing gloves.

Thanks!

So swap the handles too?

(Borrowing parts from my parts 2166 to put a big filter on my ported 2175 which is actually a 2071)

Thanks

 

[Spike60]

Yeah, if you got one put er on there. If you run a 24" and up bar, the taller top handle balances out a little nicer IMO. I have one on a 2171 for that reason.

 

[davidwyby]

Didn’t have time to clean it or fix the handle paint. I think I like the feel of the taller top, though I like the look of smooth, slim low tops like 266s.

 

[justoldsaws]

Scored this sign today, first one ive sen like this.

They don't have to be beauty queens. This 2095 came from @blackbruin . It's no shelf queen but it runs strong and that's really all I care about.
Little touch up and it's going to an island on the Susquehanna to clean up a big oak that blew down.

 

[Battle Cross 2]

Anyone have an outer felling spike for a 2095? Also did jonsered offer different styles on these saws?

 

[davidwyby]

I need a 2188 starter :-(…and would like an unlimited coil….might could use a decomp too if I don’t find one around here somewhere…https://opeforum.com/threads/2188-unlimited-coil-and-starter.28697/
