White top Husky 50

[mettee]

Working on one of these saws and the kill switch wiring in not intact, does anyone have a pic or know the routing of the wires off the switch? The wire to the coil is intact.

Am I good to ground the kill switch under the filter base where the screw is? I'm guessing that's where it goes but not sure.

That would be my guess but I never messed with that model.

Not much help to you. Thought I had a 50 in my shed. It’s a 55. Honestly as long as it’s grounded somehow it should function perfect I believe

Dandy. That's slick how they did that.

This 50 doesn't have a hole there for that but it has that same switch.

I made a ground strap with two eyes on, one bolted to the switch and one bolted down with the carb separator shield bolt.

It belonged to my good buddies father, he's kept it for a long time. It's pretty dang cool. I was trying to keep it exactly as it was that's why I asked if anyone knew how it was done Originally.

Anyone know the year that was made

Anyone have an all original one of these saws? Having an issue with the oiler I believe. The saw went through a tank of oil in five minutes of cutting. I looked at a diagram and it shows a spacer that was NOT there when I went through the saw. I assume this limits the plunger stroke but I am not sure.

Uploaded the wrong pic, there was a badly worn what looked to be a piece of oring in there. That might have been the spacer at some point.

I think hat you circled is a seal. The red circled pin rides in a groove where the purple arrow is.
This may sound dumb to is there any chance you are using low temp/ low viscosity oil?

The oil is husky oil from the box store. What ever is/was cheap. It's pretty thick but I'm in AZ and it's still 100 friggin degrees everyday.

I think that spacer limits the plunge on the oil pump, and it isn't there in this one. That's why I'm hoping someone has a super minty stocker that can show how it's really supposed to be.

It's tequila Tuesday guys

Also I did take note of the pin and the slot where the shaft rides. My only thought is it's pumping too much because it can move more than it should.
