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...

Hang on a wee minute- I just fact checked myself. According to Acres site- the 365 has an automatic WORM DRIVE driven oil pump- there were other models of a similar shape (Lil'Jon's?) that were Frontieer's in red and black- the 365 was apparently made in Sweden not Canada. So if we go off of...

There will be information out there on impulse oilers and it will all apply as they all work on the same principals. What exactly is happening? No oil leaking, but no oil getting to bar pad? Or, no oil getting to bar pad, but oil leaking out the bottom of the saw? You MIGHT get away with a...

Yes- we are talking about a small top handle chainsaw of 35cc not 65cc. Not well known now and not featured much on the Internet, Basically they are the same kind of thing as the Frontieer models that come in every colour of the rainbow and branded with near every saw makers name- they called...

The oil tank vent on these is located on the bar mount pad- directly behind the bar stud. It is not a "vent" as such, but a simple drilling through the side of the case, with a split pin/cotter pin installed in that drilling- which allows air to enter the tank to replace the oil that has...

Was possibly pinched by screwing down the recoil starter cover- trapping the wire under- you can see the exact thing in my photographs, see the black wire folded under the air conductor plate in the first photo and in the second I have moved it but you can see the pinch point.

Couple of boxes were sitting at my front door when I got home last night- both reasonably hard to find here in NZ. A nice example of a 49SP and an average example of a 2149- old meets new.

Can you clean it up and determine exactly where the oil is leaking from? 009, 011, 012 all leak oil and at the age they are now- are well known for it. Hard to stop an one from leaking bar oil when the tank vent is a cotter pin in a hole. Make sure the hose has not separated from the pump Other...

No. The ring terminal goes to the mounting bolt of the coil itself. Do you have an air compressor? Clean the area the coil sits in- the build up of grime in, around and under the coil traps heat and heat kills electronics over time. Then remove the rear mounting bolt you can see in the...

If you have refreshed and squared away the carb to the best of your abilities- maybe the carb is not your issue. First thing I would be doing is a pressure and vacuum test and checking for air leaks.

Yep well where I come from- a shrug of the shoulders does not cut it. Personally I would not have left the shop without proof of reasoning. Photos of the piston showing the scoring will help- there are various areas the piston will score at due to various causes- heat, straight gas and air leak...

In my mind, there should be a paper trail following the refusal and you as the owner are entitled to see that. My guess is- you took the non running saw in, the shop removed the muffler, saw the piston was scored- possibly did a pressure test on it- which it passed, noticed it was still in the...

First thoughts- too rich on the H circuit. If all other ducks are in a row tuning wise, I would make small adjustments to the H by say 1/8th of a turn in and see if that makes a difference. If you go too far it will lean the mix out at WOT to a point of scoring the piston- so do not stray too...

020AV was 38mm bore 020AV Super was 40mm 020AVT was a top handle saw- ie: arborist or tree climbers saw 020AVP was the "professional" rear handled saw.
