crank seals etc.

For crank seals and bearings the solution is simple ...they're { nearly } always standard sizes and can be bought from most quality UK suppliers for a pittance, typically under a tenner for the lot including postage.

All you need is a vernier caliper to measure the size of the old ones or the size of the shaft and casing if ID numbers can't be seen.

For example, I just bought Quality crank bearings for my 1976 Jonsereds 451 from ' Bearings r us ' for 6 and a half quid delivered.

Nearly always These online suppliers make it easy for you with charts of options.....When their for an engine or any high speed application the suffix ' C3 ' on the bearing should be selected and also select a bearing with a metal cage as opposed to plastic....so for my recent order it was a pair of 6002 C3 shielded deep groove ball bearing 15x32x9mm..... seals ordered in the same way and are usually universal.

 

Carb kits ...from from China.. for me, so far so good, at least there available to suit most applications of older saws which otherwise parts need to be bought from the US...so it's a choice between £2 or £22, you just takes your chances.....Cheers.
