a quick update, got it to run longer by bottle feeding it fuel, noticed an awful sound coming from the clutch, the crankshaft has about a 1/4 inch of slop radial in it, it didnt run long enough to give enough time for the handles to heat up, but at a mininum it needs a bearing, possibly even a case half.

I marked the saw as sold, I need to dig in deeper into this saw and figure out everything thats going on with it, the last thing I want is to sell it and there be more suprises, later this week I will have the local saw shop pull the flywheel and the clutch, I will report back with pics and be able to update this thread.

not quite sure what Im looking for underneath the flywheel, but it doesnt appear to be any obvious damage to the coil underneath, or the inside of the flywheel.

going to change this back to an active for sale posting.

That looks good - the SEM piece is the generator for the heating elements in the carburetor and handles.

How bout $500, is this saw worth $500 to someone?
