Show us your carnage...

@fossil *s-wordfire, I thought that lump on that tank was suspicious! Does it at least run well now, Tim?

It runs very well. Starts easy. The manual oiler works well but the auto oiler is sucking air from some place. The pump is in good shape, the check valve works and new "O" rings on the pump to saw body. I think it may be the line fitting between the tank and the crankcase. I will pull the rear handle and pressure check the line from there.

Everything was covered in oil in the points box. Cleaning that up and setting the points made a big difference. I think someone may have slobbered oil on the felt oiler.

Thanks again for the saw. I had fun swapping the tanks and getting into the saw. Neat little machines and well built.

I just wanted someone who had a passion for them to have it! It was fantastic to meet you and the other guys and see all their stuff as well.

Oh Snap -- the crank has a problem!

 

[wcorey]

I was told it got backed over and dragged a ways by a car, was nearly brand new, on the first tank of fuel.
I would've felt bad for the kid if he hadn't told me on the phone it was a running saw that 'needed a few parts...' lol...

My Shindaiwa 490[488 with new covers] had similar problem. one side of the piston was in pieces[intake side skirt]. The jug was ok.

A new aftermarket piston was touching the crank lobes. A little file time and it works. So if you go aftermarket be careful.
