Quick question .what are these saws ? The guy I'm talking to about them says it's 2 046 and a 044 . View attachment 183162 View attachment 183162 View attachment 183163

just picked these up. 2 460's and a 046. Cylinders look extremely good on them . I'm gonna clean them up and check them out and then 2 of them are going to be up for sale.

This doesn’t look like the right way to gap the coil. LOL


I usually just use this


Evidently this saw took a pretty good lick when it hit the ground. The guy who brought it to me said he picked it up pretty cheap. it will be interesting to see what else is wrong with it. Never seen this happen on a climbing saw

Fuel tank, Intake boot, coil, flywheel. Saw looks like a pretty low hour unit. I’ve got everything on hand except a fuel line. Dang it

Hey, I don't like parting, I like building … and if you do it right you can stay afloat (but it will not pay for your labor).

And, no way around it, you can often only make it work with Asian parts … their tank holders make a lot of saws viable that otherwise would not be.

I don't parting out saws, I prefer to build them just as you do.
There is lots of gold mines out there, but we gotta know our saw model inside out to take advances over it.
Some old dealers has old stock, they've lost labels etc, old saw models they've never seen for years, they may be interested to let them parts go cheap.
Another source is ebay, some sellers doesnt have the time to detail everything, ie, they advertise with part numbers without saying what model the part is for. Other sellers are clueless and advertise a top end with casting letters. Some of my best bargains happen to come from ebay.

So true for I know.

Had to file and gap the points. John Deere edger. Probably at least 50 years old. Fix points and new plug and runs like new.

Check coil wire could be bad.

I replaced the coil wire, new ground wires, points are spot on. I think its the capacitor.

Sounds like that's about all that's left
