Alright guys a few updates. Got my new drive sprocket and chain put on the "business end" of the saw. I know its not as cool as the big chain but still nice Then got my exhaust piece and cylinder cover on. Unfortunately the exhaust was missing the insert, put it on the to-do list Couldn't resist so took it outside and dropped it in a small log I had, it really tore through it! Gotta find a bigger log to do a real test!

well I took the saw out got it up to operating temperature and did the final tune on it. It's still a little temperamental at times but running pretty good.
Haven't found any worthy logs yet but it does tear right through the stuff I have!

Well just to keep things updated I installed "new" reeds in the 707 today. The ones that in there were servicable but had a pretty large gap on two of them. Unfortunately somebody had stripped out the screws prior to me so I couldn't flip or replace them, at least not easily. As luck would have it the 770-D parts saw I bought had great looking reeds in it. I figured it'd be a 15 minute switch out. I didn't invite him but Murphy showed up about 2-3 times. I won't bore y'all with the details but after about an hour and R&I-ing the carb/reed block 2 times I finally had it done. It actually makes a big difference in the way the saw runs, not so much the power/top-end but the saw now idles much better. Started up second pull and purred like a kitten. A loud kitten that is Reeds for comparison, New on the left and old on the right
