Efco 156
« on: September 23, 2014, 10:23:31 am »
Hello,
My name is Don. My skill is with auto repair.(39 yrs.  :-\) Pleased to make your acquaintance.
My 156 blew up the cooling fins on the flywheel. I ordered an new one from Chainsaw Shed. It doesn't have the keyway or the steel center in the aluminum cast flywheel, just a raised aluminum boss where the keyway should be.
My question is: Has the manufacturer modified the flywheel in production? The date on the old one is "08" the new one is "12".
Thanks

I dont know these. farmboy and old logging I think  have been in these.

Just looking at flywheel pawls and saws used on. It might just be a updated part.    Flywheel pawls fits Efco 956, 962, 156, 165 , john deere cs56 

Just guessing.

Crank key is molded into the flywheel.  Yep modifed in production and coils are different too.  Was  lookin @  the cranks coils yesterday they will not interchange much to my dismay.  Cut remember the NOS 165 w/bad crank brgs i think the coil is bad too.  That's why I was looking @ the cranks/coils.  Was going to try one off a 962, 956, CS56 those are project saws.

Old coil does not work w/new flywheel according to IPL I haven't tried one to see if old coil works w/new flywheel.  He will have to get old flywheel or new digital coil to go w/new flywheel.

Efco 156. Olympic, Oleo Mac, Olympyk 956 muffler mod. I have a idea what I was going to do. Just wonder if anyone else has done these?

Never mind on the muffler mod.  Think I will just leave it alone after checking the inside of muffler out and the outlet.

Big side outlet from factory shown from inside. Maybe open deflector up some.

 Inside 2 big holes on each side already.

 Saw cant have any time on it hardly. Rim not even marked. Piston looks like new.
