Yes: It will idle and cut good at 110, even down to 80 if all else is correct.ĪND points and condenser is a good thing for old saws and gap the points at. (really a good strong little saw when all is corect Just some info from experience on those type saws. I have heard about the blue Prestolite coils going bad, does this usually cause weak spark or none at all?Īre there any resistance/continuity values for the coil so I can see if it is bad? I have not been able to get it restarted. Yesterday, the saw started and ran for a second, then cut off.
I already cleaned and set the points, sanded the flywheel magnets and coil, and replaced the spark plug. It has a Wico Prestolite point ignition system with a blue coil.
The piston/cylinder are not scored, and it has 110 PSI compression, so I don't think that compression is the problem. The saw is getting flooded and the spark tester light looks kind of dim. Should the zero be ignored and this be considered a 7-digit serial number?ĭid these saws have washers under the bar nuts when they were new? I have seen pictures with and without washers, but which way is factory? How would the serial number be decoded? It is 8 digits, but according to the service bulletin, it would have been made in 1980 on day #452. The black fuel cap, raised letter plastic air filter cover, and metal bodied oiler button also seem consistent with that year. I have found the number 5 with a circle around it (like on a date wheel) cast into a few parts of the saw, this leads me to believe it was made around 1975. I got it off Craigslist in non-running condition a couple days ago. This is my new Homelite Super XL Automatic.
