LOL

I just got back from taking Brandon to football practice. Anyway, I hope you liked my teaser. Anyone have a link to the owners manual? I assume it uses a 30:1 mix like all other 2-cyl engines use.

30:1 Should work. Our chain saws call for 40:1. Some of our weed eaters use 50:1. I put 16:1 in my Lawnboy.

Rolla

depends what size prop you intend to use (chucklin)

it seems hand start only tho...carfull it will have a mean bite

Yeah, I would say 16:1. Crack open a nice clean 8oz can of Lawn-Boy Generation II All-Season Ashless 2-cycle oil with added stabilizer (or an equivalent 2-cycle oil) to one gallon of gas. Or do it the old fashioned way and get a bottle of 30w oil and put that in your gas. My 1968 Snow Pup asks for a 16:1 ratio of 30w oil, I have done it, works alright, but I have been using LB oil in it for the last 2 years.

Got the bar and chain on. The pull handle has been replaced. Other then that, I need to double check the fuel lines as 2 lines are not connected. I'll have to figure out where they go.

Be sure the fuel lines can tolerate gasahol.

Good point. When it was new, I don't think there was unleaded fuel either.

Most definitely you will need "Coxlube" as preventative maintenance. Available here:

which was formulated especially with chainsaws in mind (after all, we live in a logging town).

Imagine doubling the life of that baby for a modest investment - hey, what have you got to lose

Bernie, Is that something new? I don't recall that on your site before. You don't have a pull handle do ya

Those red wooden replacement pull handles must have been popular, this one has one too.

Was watching this one. The best conditioned one I have seen to date, with all of the manuals and tags.

The really rare ones have a picture of a beaver chewing on a piece of wood on the pull start side plate along with the Cox logo.

They have engine vacuum assisted chain/ bar/sprocket oiling, make sure those lines are correct or you will seize the sprocket tip on the bar and peel metal off of the bar with the chain zinging. In a pinch Trravis, you can dribble some 90WT gear oil on the bar and chain when you run it (if).

Anyone know of any copies of the manuals or anything?

BTW, there is a Chainsaw Collector's Forum on-line.

I used information from this source when I "re-habed" my '83 vintage Homelite 240.

The most difficult part was getting the carburetor right but I did it.

There is no sprocket on the tip of the bar.

That's the grand enchalada there. I emailed a guy who bought the last one I seen with manuals about getting copies, no reply back. Emailed the seller of this latest one with copies, we will see.

FWIW, if anyone has copies or originals, I know of two guys who could use one. I have a buck in my wallet that is not doing anything.

Interesting, just checked mine and one has a sprocket and the other does not. apparently a bar swap at one point in its life.

You have one for each hand or do you juggle chainsaws?
