All cleaned up, repaired, parts replaced where necessary. Old 20 inch hardnose bar and Stihl .404 chain.

Recently bought- took a while to get here. Photos of how it arrived out of the box.

Why for do you ask? Not sure if there is a 555 in the shop, but I know the 550 is integral to the flywheel, so imagine the 555 is as well.

Wasnt kicking anyone- was the first logical place to be looking. So you call a flywheel a magneto- you have replaced that as well? Have heard of 440e's having coil and flywheel issues around lack of supposed magnetism and then doing the same with new, replaced with the old and they went back to...

Wow, thats a pretty long list of parts chucking. About the only thing you have not covered is timing- you need compression, spark, correct air/fuel mixture reaching the combustion area and correct timing of the spark. That would be my first check- confirm the key is still intact on the internal...

If you look at the metal cover plate and the hole that the crank stub protrudes through- it kind of self explains. There is a recess formed around the exterior of that hole, this is what the flange of your plastic worm gear sits on- so the gear does not drop through and run the outer face of the...

Do the 9## series of Oleo Mac saws have the worst paint adhesion known to man? Or do I just find the bad ones?

Plastic worm gear drive not meshed with pump spindle. or not meshed correctly with clutch bell drive teeth, incorrect assembly and plastic worm gear stripped. Incorrect bar tail that does not align with oil gallery. Bar rails and oil port in bar filled with debris. Photos always help.

I would replace it myself and try to figure out why it is happening. Chains you have are all the correct gauge and pitch? Suit the bar? Any damage to the drive links of the chain? Photos of the bar rails at the tail of the bar, drive sprocket on the clutch drum and drive links of the chains...

They are hard to find parts for- you get that with some older model, less common saws. Only option I know of is good secondhand and following all the known checks to verify which components are incorrectly set or damaged on what you already have. Keep looking at Ebay and secondhand parts dealers...

Yeah looks like the chain has been contacting the plate and bent it all out of shape- but the chain looks absolutely rocked out or ground struck as well. Now way that chain is cutting wood the way a sharp chain will- and I do not just mean the side that has been contacting the plate.

If by JD we are talking John Deere- then look for Echo 750 EVL parts- same saw, different paint.

That is the correct number for the internal of tank pick up line, but you might also consider the hose from pump to bar pad- part # 1143 647 9403.

Cannot say I have seen similar- but yes it is impulse driven. I was thinking a saw same as the Partner 350, not unlike the Jonsered 370- but you show what is perhaps a rear handle version of the Jonsered 361? Bit like the MS 200 is the rear handle version of the 200T from Stihl. In my way of...

Are you able to photograph the saw and add the photograph here? Just to clear up what we are talking about- is it a rear handled saw or a top handle saw? Jonsereds are my "thing" but I must admit- some of them I do not bother with or have ever cared for. However, I seem to remember there...
