Wright Reciprocating and Chainsaws

[heimannm]

I acquired another C50 recently and have given it the treatment. Runs on prime but there was an issue with the small brass eyelet that forms a seat on the fuel pump check valves (Carter NRD). Like the others, runs on prime.

C40 is in process now.





I ended up taking this one down a bit further than most.



It was pretty dirty.

I found a broken reed when I took the saw apart. I looked through some of what I had on hand and figured I could modify the reed from a McCulloch 33/35/39 saw to fit.









The McCulloch reed is a bit thicker but I figure I can give up a little performance on this saw since it will just be a display piece.

When I got this saw from Buford (Ray) Parrish I also picked up a 21" bar, but it looked out of place on this one.



I had an equally nice 14" bar that goes better with the saw.



I like the finished product.

This Carter NRD was very different from the Carter NRD on the C50.

C50



C40





On this one the metering diaphragm is very stiff and crackly. Runs on prime, for now it's a looker.

Hey @heimannm it looks like sugar creek supply has an NRD carb kit. Might be worth checking out.

 

[heimannm]

Thank you, I have placed an order for the kits.

Now to see if I can find those little brass eyelets...

I found this in a Wright operator manual today, interesting the way they emphasize how tight the blade screw must be.

Here is any unusual Wright blade saw.



If I make it out properly the case says "THE WRIGHT SAW FOR YOUR JOB - Wright Power Saw and Tool Corp. 292 Longback Ave Stratford CT"







I will eventually do some cleaning on this one and see if my compressor can run it for a bit. Interesting to note the blade sets are two piece and (evidently) move in opposition to one another.

I have watched many a bull and cow get split and quartered with one.

Some may ask why not a steer.......that is simple. If they are a steer that means they went through the chute, got an attitude adjustment, and sent on down the line.
