I bought this old 1970's chainsaw and it looked awful. It had forty years of oil, dirt, and sawdust on it. The saw had low compression, no spark, no muffler, no bar or chain, major air leak, the recoil didn't work and was pretty much a POS. A new used piston/new caber rings, new carb kit, cleaned the points and adjusted, new crank seal, new bar and chain and major cleaning. I probably got 2-3 hours labor in this thing. It is back sawing. Anybody else like rebuilding junk?
Did a pressure/vacuum test and the PTO oil seal was bad.
The air leak ruined the piston as it made it run to lean/hot and scored the piston.
The compression is almost 155 and should hit 160+ when the rings get broke in. Probably 165-170 new.
It will bury the 20" bar in red oak with ease.
