Points and condenser showed up today!!!! YAY! Right after I got home from picking up the 770GS I got right to work and....here's pictures! 004 by TJ McCauley, on Flickr 005 by TJ McCauley, on Flickr 007 by TJ McCauley, on Flickr 008 by TJ McCauley, on Flickr 009 by TJ McCauley, on Flickr 010 by TJ McCauley, on Flickr She's at the runner stage now....has a good spark and new spark plug....pull start works well. Super excited to have it back together. Plans have changed and I'm going to put a 60 inch cannon bar on there with a .404 conversion. The mac bar mount is just way to big and hopefully I can find another helper handle to put on the cannon. More updates soon!

Looking awesome TJ! That's a different air filter configuration than I've seen on a Homelite before. Is it just the air cleaner cover that is off on the back in that last picture?

Yeah, I still have pieces to put on the cover before I put it on the saw. Plus I have to pull the handle off once more to get the stop switch in. Luckily that's only 4 bolts. lol

The air filter looks like it might be the same as on my water pump. I was wondering if once I figure out what model I have if a filter would be available. Very nice looking saw, well done.

If yours is anything like mine, it's different. But I'm pretty sure Leon has at least one in his store. The one that came on mine looks like it was a round filter for a cutoff/demo saw that was squished oval.

Well this was a great ending to an evening! She's ready to fire and just needs fluids. Really hoping I can find some 1/2 pitch chain as I love that bar with the helper handle. Completes the look. But if I can't I'll be getting the 60inch cannon bar and convert to .404. Gonna let the saw sit awhile so the paint will cure up real good before the first fire. Will also let me catch up on videos for my youtube channel. haha Pictures for ya! 001 by TJ McCauley, on Flickr 003 by TJ McCauley, on Flickr 004 by TJ McCauley, on Flickr 005 by TJ McCauley, on Flickr 006 by TJ McCauley, on Flickr 002 by TJ McCauley, on Flickr

If i had a roll id be fairly reluctant to let it go lol. I do have lots of 1/2 inch chains and 7/16 but most are spoken for on saw projects. Side note look at the big and little shot of chain lol.
