More pointers.
Why?
I was board.
Still now power tools, but I still made noise.
My old wood working teacher always said.
In every ugly bit of wood and beautiful bit of wood will be found.
Rough cut, Cooping saw.
It takes time and coffee.
Band saw would had it done in seconds, but I am not that daft.
Drinking Teak oil, faster than I drink coffee.

Hi everyone so
Today I've had to buy firewood with my father.
So tipped the rear seats put a blanket to save my car's interiors
Loaded and unloaded .
Eat fish for lunch .
Got hired for a job I'll be working tomorrow.
And once my nephew wake up I've been working on my chainsaw .
Nothing special just an homeowner grade jonsered .
Which seems to have been made by Husqvarna from what I've understood reading a Facebook group (Stihl users group)
No matter who made it TBH , just curious to know if it's really made by Husqvarna or not .
Can someone please tell me if it's true or not ?, first time I'm having to do with jonsered product,I just know that it's a good brand from users ratings.
So essentially I've saved this saw from the trash bin while working on a jobsite.
Previous owner gave it to me when I've had to repair other things for him .
I've managed to make it run a while ago , replacing the diaphragms on the carb .
But discovered soon where was the problem.
It didn't have power and the engine was inconsistent and it did rev up way too fast
Removed the clutch cover and discovered that the entire power output components were missing ,so no clutch ,no sprocket , and no clutch bell.
Thanks to @MCKDAVID who commented a thread about chainsaws I've posted...
He offered to help me ,he sent me the missing parts with no charges for them.
Thanks again David
So back to the saw , after little bit of adjustments to fit the clutch properly I've managed to make the chainsaw work again.
Very happy .
Then I've removed the muffler to check the exhaust port and discovered that I was working on an half modded saw .
So I've completed the muffler mod .
Nothing special they forgot to make the final exhaust outlet bigger.
So measured the exhaust port, two calculations , and made the muffler outlet roughly 60% of the port dimensions .
Now it runs really well with a good sound .
Tomorrow I'll test it to make the final adjustments on the carb
But I'll have to do the job previous mentioned before to play

Can't coment on if they are made by Husky or not, but they really are an excellent saw, I've got one I was given as it needed some repairs and it's a pleasure to use. 16inch bar on it and I often go to it over my Stihl for doing firewood etc.

I'm using a 16" bar too .
Don't really need a longer one ,I'll use it once in awhile to help friends and neighbours with firewood
I'm still intended to buy a Stihl clone or save one .
I'll probably make my other saw run ,I have a McCulloch PM 484 with manual oil pump .
It needs a carb rebuild .
It's been a pleasure to work on this little jonsered .
I'll try to find others and save them

That will probably do the job.

Some of the Jonsered saws share the same mechanical parts as the discontinued Huskies, its not hard to cross reference parts like barrels/pistons.

I believe it’s butane, about 50% of the contents
What grade?. Just recently started to use 968, I find it softer than SIF No8

Used a bit of .8mm 968, flows very well as you say far better than No8. I repaired a casing on the trucks Munice gearbox with No8. Hard as nails to machine.

Made a clean bench top after producing 3 x 2x 8 " tall heater wax candles for the glasshouse , put the remainder of the initial 25 kg sack of various colours & scented scrap wax through the melting pan and a cast nearly three dozen muffin tin sized cakes of cleaned & treated wax for easy storage. Also made six 100 mm long 5 mm wax sprues for when I get casting brass .
Made a dent in the bank balance ordering amongst other things 25 kg of fire cement powder to make my own crucibles to fit in my little devil gas forge .. the Chinese graphite one I ordered is 8 mm too tall . Might be able to finally fill the last two inches of & the lid of the gas cylinder furnace too .
