Chainsaw Repair

Couple little points on this model .First it has to be the most difficult saw ever made to pull over .High compression with a relatively  small rope drum .A D-handle rope pull makes it tollerable .

It has a rather large bore  Tillotson model HS carb and floods very easy .It took me a while to figure it out .On a cold start choke it until it fires once then release the choke and crank it until it starts which they usually do .If you stay on that choke too long and flood it you are in for a workout before it goes .

These things have some power .Before the 3120 Husqvarna these were the things they made hot saws out of .

Hot saws, that's cool.   I am keeping it stock except the muffler. 
 
I could hear something rattling around in the muffler and could see some loose metal in it but could not get it out through the exhaust port.   So I cut a square out of the back of it and the whole baffle was broken free in pieces and rattling around.   So I removed all the metal pieces blew it out with the air hose and then welded it back up.   Weird.
