Morning (here), Bob Looks as though slotting the Stator Plate is the way to go for this particular instance. Great suggestion Ken

Howdy there Bob I have the service manual but that was no help to my specific issue. Both Crank needle bearings are tight. I am having exactly the same issue with both the OEM (Bosch) and Aftermarket FWs. Size variation - yes for sure. I will have to put this one aside for while and think on...

Hello All FW = Flywheel There are no visible markings on the saw. No S/N etc I have a (what appears to be an early-ish) 090 that I acquired during mid-repair of its ignition system. The previous owner tried to convert it to Electronic Ignition. That didn't work. I am in the process of...

Re: other than that- no adjustment- to the best of my knowledge Figured. Thanks again - Ken

Bob. Just for grins, I have a NOS Governor Linkage Rod 55943 for this saw incoming today via eBay buy. Let's see Question on the Points ASSY: Some people have mentioned timing of the points assembly might be not where they should be. But I don't see a way to advance or retard the points...

Bob, here is a 4-20 I am also working on, in case you wanted to browse the images - Ken https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/6MKSuOGGT5u4ImKWTVpcSA.EMOcmAVOjpK4fsP1gz3597

Yes, I have considered that as it is entirely possible after many decades have past and who knows where it's been. I chose to rebuild it because overall it is in great condition I'll tighten the tension on the governor spring and/or install the new one I have on order. Still a bit of...

Bob, have you ever had email discussions with Leon Crouch of The Rogue Valley OR USA? In my opinion, he is the Homelite go-to here in the states - Ken

Hi Bob. Here is an excerpt from the IPL of an earlier saw by 4-8 years, the EZ-6. This GOV setup matches that of my Super WIZ. I am now baffled but that's half the fun I guess - Ken Reference...

Hey Bob. Hopes were up till I noted the current governor linkage assembly on my WIZ. It is quite different that what is shown on the IPL. I will tinker further

Hi back, Bob. The carb is good to go. I know Leon and have watched that one and others too. I think my focus will be on the timing and the governor ASSY. See attached image from Leon's IPL. Part #70 shows to be a spring which I don't have. eBay provided at under two sawbucks. Let's see then

Thanks Bob. I will check the points plate timing. All the other possibilities you mentioned are covered My rebuild went full spectrum, the whole thing soup to nuts - Ken

I have a Super WIZ that I rebuilt. Having troubles getting it to pass the 4k RPM mark Starts right up after sitting overnight Upon throttling, the saw sputters at about a 3-4k RPM limit, lots of smoke from the exhaust, Compression 138psi wet, appears that timing is off or running really rich...

Hi Bob. Yea, I am leaning heavily toward a 54mm set up just based on the measurements. Thanks much - Ken

Hello All During my disassembly and inspection of a Sears (Roper) D-44 Saw, I noticed the piston diameter and cylinder bore are 53mm and not the spec 50.8mm. And by all of my findings so far, the saw appears to be all original. Because I have not ever run into this before, I am hoping for any...
