Perseverance pays off

I think you'll find your efforts paid off. Should be a great firewood saw.

Exactly what He said. Nice work HD. A C

Ya ! had to cut some bigger stuff to see what kinda guts she had, chewed up the 20" end of that maple tree quick ! sweet
Eager Beaver got a break but did some small stuff, hard to get parts for 1990s but is a good 35cc saw

I got the new starter from the seller today, the starter cup is a smaller diameter than the other one was.
I haven't put it on the saw yet .

Usually only see that on "Rescue" saws or sometimes "Arctic" versions.

If my big Husky didnt have a decomp valve,I'd seriously think about putting that handle on it. Sold my Poulan 475/rebadged Jonsered 2077 last November,it had 180+ compression & no decomp,as I got older it was a real arm breaker pulling that rope,especially when it snapped back & almost broke my finger!

On that note, why is a saw so hard to pull some times after it hasn't been run for a while ? cuz not much lubrication in there ?
My 35cc saw, I wasn't holding it down good enough, I pulled and it smacked me in the leg hard I learned a little lesson that day

Saws (pretty much any gas engine I think) are always more difficult to start/have more compression when cold.I cant give you a really scientific answer,just know that's the way it is.

Combination of tighter clearances, less oil clinging to parts, and thicker/more viscous oil from reduced temps.
