I think he was referring to the 797 Butch... :lol: Gary

Again... just thinkin' out loud... it'll prolly just be for GTG's and to make a lot of noise now and again. :) Gary

The class at the Buckley Log Show is a Limited Stock class. 30" cottonwood (same log we use for the V-8's). No modifications to the mufflers or carbs, and has to have the original starter rewind. Fuel is supplied by the Log Show. SO no "hot" gas. Lots of Stihl 090's in the comp, and one 084...

Hey Al... I found this website while searching for info on 797's... http://www.kartsandparts.ca/store/home.php?cat=135 I'm sure that these parts for the kart engines will work on 125's and 797's. Imma thinkin' about makin' a real cutter out of this thing since the engine is based on the kart...

HA! I bet Al... How about the ignition/coil setup? This one does fire off a nice fat blue spark... but the plug wire and boot are pretty rotten. Gary

I'm not planning on a restoration. Just clean it up and replace some of the cracked pieces and such. I gotta figger out the oiler on this thing too... it's not oiling. Might just need to be torn down and cleaned, and pumped up. Gary

Rich is who I bought the saw from... :) Gary

That might be all it is... I'm gonna tear that apart soon... plus the stupid fuel inlet at the bottom of the carb is bigger than the outlet from the fuel tank pickup. I hate when manufacturers do that. So it requires a special fuel line to do the job. Or do like I do and stick a smaller...

Thanks Al... I'm comin' up empty. I'm gonna post the question on Magnus' site as well... Lots of saw nuts there that have access to a lot of old Mac and Homelite parts. Gary

Nope... it's sittin' righ next to the 797. Pulled the carb out. I'm on the hunt for a rebuild kit. Might have to do as Al suggested and soak the diaphram in brake fuid, and make my own gaskets. It runs great... just fills the air filer/ carb housing with fuel... :) Gary

Thanks a ton for that info Al... the saw came from Oregon, and it has a Tilly HL for what I can tell... The 640 I got from Brian has a flatback in it. The 640 weighs as much without the bar and chain as the 797 does with the 36" bar on it. :lol: ...and the 797 has 43 more cc's! Gary

I can do it... but holy shit, it's hard. I just wanted to see if i could do it. If that thing didn't have a decomp, I don't know how anybody would be able to start it. :) Gary

Can this one be made to run like a hot saw Al? Like the 125's? Not that I'm gonna... just thinkin' out loud. Gary

The only saw I own with a chain brake is my Stihl 044... All the oldies didn't come with them. Gary

A few days back... this 797 showed up... it's a tad on the rough side... but it has tons of compression, and needs a good cleaning. It sat in a barn for 25 years... So the bar oil and crud is almost like it crystalized on the outside of the saw. So I use some stuff made by POR-15 called Marine...
