I did this a little bit ago, but I discovered the perfect cylinder a/v spring for the 3/4 wrap on my 350. The cylinder a/v spring off a 390xp is pretty much the perfect length, it's a skooge long on mine, but if I tweak the handle like I want or trim down the plastic flare a wee bit it'll be just right. The 350 one I put a spacer under was too short and the wrap rubbed on the top cover, this guy gives it ~1/4" or so of clearance.

Got tired of seeing tools that need to be hafted hanging around, so while I was waiting to hear from a guy who's coming by to look at some parts I decided to re-purpose an old haft and hang these two hammers.

What do you even say to someone that brings in a saw looking like this? The brake was engaged, the clutch cover & bar were hanging loose (cover would not come off with the brake on) and the chain had been thrown so many times it would no longer fit in the groove of the bar.
BTW, that's not paint splattered all over the saw...

Get out the BB gun and shoot the sparrows! It looks like they're dropping paint bombs.

Those saws were made to be disposable....go ahead and pitch it in the trash.

Hey Dan, that's pretty sweet looking! What model is that wrap off of? I love me a full wrap, and a 350/3 series saw is the cats meow.....

An oh-90 having its wind vane governor repaired. Got new parts from Australia. Friendly folks there. The folks elsewhere not so much anymore. 
This is a “Late” version of the Gen 1 AV saw. This one has a presence lever.
The original receipt I have for this saw shows it was one of a pair sold to the same fellow in 1990. Wonder what he was planning to do with two?

I knew a guy who bought 2 2100's together, one to run and one to rob parts off of. Fortunately the one never needed parts taken off of it, so it was pretty much n.o.s. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the spare had a chain brake and the runner did not.

That's very cool Jim! I've got a tidy Gen 2 090AV which I always thought was from the 1980's, but maybe I'm wrong?

Ya know, your saw could have come from the 1980’s. I dug up the paperwork for the saw. The pair were sold 10/26/83 with a “model 50” for $2200. He purchased a 30” bar and chain and 5gals of end sealer.

Oh man, what I’ll do for a pretty face….
Female friends’ backpack blower.
It’s got a $12 OEM carb that would take two weeks to arrive from China or for me to track down a kit and take the time to rebuild it. $12 carburetor!!
Oh well

There is no possible way to make it worth the time to work on trimmers or blowers...
So I do it out of the goodness of my heart...

I drove 45 min to Ace(is the Place) after calling ahead to see if they had the carb. It wasn’t the same carb. So I drove home
.But, this put a smile on my face! I got this Dolmar CC (109) running. It’s oiling as well, just not enough, yet. As soon as I get that worked out I’ll make a video of the saw. It’s nearly as old as me. Lol Can’t be certain but I believe it was made in 1961. Notice the “bicycle grip” rear handle and the single clutch cover nut.
