No, you should not. The second pair of unmarked "magnets" are counterweights- they mimic the weight of the actual magnets that cause the coil to fire to keep the flywheel balanced as it rotates at huge speeds. They act a little like the lead balancing weights added to your vehicle wheel rims to...

910E I bought around 6 weeks ago, way up in our other Island- got a buddy to pick it up and send it down- arrived yesterday. Basically all there, few wee minor glitches- wiring to spark plug coil trigger is a mess, muffler rusted and been brazed before, missing filter cover nut, cracks in filter...

Best Bubba guess ( I do not do a lot of mtronic stuff), bad connections in the electrical system- especially the solenoid on the carb and the white connector above it. Could be a faulty solenoid- but then it would be a fuel related issue. I know some of the mtronic saws if the coil does not...

Only part really missing was the one lower bolt for the front of the rear handle- fortunately these are the same as the hex head cap bolts found in the front of Husqvarna 2## saws- around 5mm X 50mm- so one of those and a 5mm hex nut replaced the missing one and all excess flex is removed from...

Have one already- but another arrived at my doorstep yesterday. They differ in slight ways, mainly around the recoil starter. Has the usual missing bits and broken bits where it comes to 1970's plastic, but is otherwise 99% complete and runs.

One mans trash is another mans treasure. Was recently gifted a good Jonsered 2055 in the same scenario- saved at the recycling centre.

There was a version of the Frontier saw made for Dolmar that was an orangey red. Photos would determine for sure. The Frontier saws had a bolt on tank cover front of the case- covered both oil and gas tanks, sealed by a gasket and both tanks filled from the front top of the case. The gaskets...

Frontier made the small top handle saws for Danarm out of Canada- but they were usually blue cased. They made those for just about everyone, Lil Jon, Husky 35, Dolmar, Pioneer, Skil, Sears etc. all the same design and familiar plastic (usually black) air box and carb cover. What you have could...

:D Cheers- but thats only one of about 60 Jonsereds that lives here.

Or perhaps, lack of use and sitting for a long while they were not exactly freed up on the pivot points and did not inertia out of the way with the saw running.

???? Explain too tight? You mean the pawls were were not free on their studs? Fixed too tight to the flywheel and were not returning to station?

Not 100% sure, but possibly the same as P80- R35- other R435's. There will be parts out there, just have to find them. Might be best to figure out why it happened and correct any resistance to the starter working. Pawls do not "snap" for no reason. Its an old saw and odds are way overdue a full...

A fellow chainsaw enthusiast from up top of our other Island, sent me this the other day. He rescued it from a recycling centre! 2055 was a hotrod of its day (1994), replaced another hotrod in the 2051, which had a red light timing system similar to the 066 Stihls- turns roughly 14.500rpm. 2054...

Sounds like somehow you managed (whilst cleaning) to misalign the fast idle feature and once choke was engaged to activate the fast idle for cold starting- it was unable to return once trigger applied and choke released. Good you figured it out.

Not familiar with the saw type- but if it has a chain brake fitted- is that engaged? Failing that, wear/damage to the drive sprocket or bar nose sprocket can stop the chain rotating- or if the drive sprocket has damaged the drive links of the can they can become jammed in the bar rails.

I would disconnect the throttle rod and see if the spring enables full travel without the rod attached- if it is still sticky- either the spring has jumped- or the throttle plate is catching internally. To verify if the plate was catching, I would remove the carb and check operation off of the saw.

Sounds like the return spring has broken- or the captured end of the spring has jumped out of position. Has the carb been off lately, or any repairs/cleaning been done recently?

Picked this up a couple of weeks back, just so happened my better half was in the right part of the Country to collect and return to a new forever home. Danarm- so British, made in Stroud Gloucestershire. 71cc = 2"X 1 3/8". From around 1973/74 (1974 on the original instruction book that came...

I would have to go check to be sure- but a lot of major parts like starter cover, top engine cover are date stamped. Have a look on the inside of such parts and see if you can find a circle with an arrow inside it- might need a magnifying glass or glasses to read it- but usually they contain a...

I am not aware of all the facts- but I can tell you no way in hell a 162SE was made in 2016. Now the fun bit- Silver tags- as far as I know, cannot be deciphered like the later black ID tags and the year, month and number off the line were used. However, if you read your tags in layman's terms-...
