Stock Jonsered 2159 Build

[Woodrow]

I bought this saw in a run of nice used 2159's and 359's about a year ago and have been putting them together with oem parts selling them here and there. This one is a 2005 year and is a very clean and low hour saw. I thought a end of the year build thread might have some interest. This is my first build thread.

This is the start. Saw is a known low hour running saw. Bearings great and passed pressure and vac test. Tore down and completely cleaned.

Squish band and combustion chamber cleaned up.

Base gasket and cylinder down and intake clamp and partition update.

199 carb with carb kit and Tree Monkey update and limiters trimmed.

Oiler and inner bar plate on. New chain catcher and new spark plug.

Flywheel and ignition installed. New fuel and bar oil caps. Air filter on as well.

Lunch break. Lol.

Recoil cover installed and new pull rope.

Clutch cover put back together. Chased the bar studs and new bar nuts. Brake flag installed.

Top cover cleaned up and put on.

Now working on stripping the top handle and painting. Also stripping the muffler and painting with high temp paint. More pics when painting is finished and a compression test.
Let me know what you think.

The high temp grill paint works excellent (rated up to 1200°).
I did one of mine & it has held up extremely well.
I sandblasted, sprayed with brake cleaner & heated the muffler with heat gun, warmed the spray can in hot water.
I want to do all my saw mufflers now! Lol

I would do that but I leave that up the buyer. If they want it done, I will do it.
