Does anyone know if these events are supposed to be blowing air when I have just the "foot" setting on the controls active?


Doesn't matter what position I have the knob in, there's always air coming out of this vent and the matching passenger side one

 

some always leaks through.. the seals in the ducts have disintegrated by now.

 

Sweet! Given the size it's most likely 3/8 profile chain.. I know you can get a new bar from the Oregon company.. probably a new clutch drum/sprocket as well

 

News to you buddy theyve been plastic since the 90s

The flathead briggs and straton lawnmower carby that was at my old house was plastic

 

Dang, so I'd have to tear the whole dash apart and put new seals in to stop it?

 

im going to give it a full look over. going to need it.. got alot of small trees and some larger ones to clear. been a long time since ive cut a bigger tree down.. but looks like this behemoth will come down easily in front of the barn... cant justify paying someone when ive done it before (6 years ago)

 

if you could find some seals.

 

Not all of them... the ones that mount directly to tank have been plastic for decades but they used to have have metal carb bodies if it had a bowl... now the ones with bowls are completely plastic as well

 

Jimmyriggin 3m foam tape won't cut it huh?

 

might. just dont know how long it'll last. im going to mess around with things to find a fix when i have my dash apart eventually

 

Id be cautiously optimistic that a chinese clone metal carb could be put on

 

Make sure you check the crunchiness of the fuel line coming from the tank to the carb. There might be a corresponding vent hose as well that will cause running issues if it's dry rotted as well

 

im probably going to take it apart down to the block and get it all cleaned up and replace all i see wrong

 

i like stihl. but this old sucker will be cheaper to get running.

 

Just started trying to tear my dash apart to get into it and I find this rats nest now I know why my battery has been draining itself for no apparent reason

 

Yeah man that's gonna be the type of saw you're handing down to your kid and on. Especially a big boy like that one. Gonna burn through oak and the hard stuff like buddah

That summer I lived and worked in Virginia a few years back, also when I got the Tacoma and joined here, but I rebuilt an old Poulan saw for a guy. Was a smaller one but the thing screamed. Put a new carb and something else.... nah, I think it was just a carb, was all it needed.

 

my uncle has an old mcculloch 125... now that, That thing is a freaking monster... thats why i knew when i saw this thing that it needed to be fixed up

 

Just an aftermarket alarm just pull out your wire cutters and electrical tape

 

lemme know!

 

The wheel under the duct will turn airflow off
