husqvarna L65

[adw]

The last L65 machines were built in the Tomas factory in Yugoslavia of which I have a brand new one.

It was the Tomos factory, I had one of their mopeds.

the estate I live on had a water pump with a tomos engine, it truly was the worst engine I ever saw, I think the tea lady built it for a bet!

they obviously got better as the l65 was by all accounts a decent saw.

Stubby will remember this, they used to sell the Tomas mopeds in Woolworths.

The L77 was just a 65 with the cylinder from the 280/380 hence the plug sticking up through the top cover, there is a L65 on the bay which is quite rare as it has a chain brake, you do not see many of those.

I had one once, got the thing going and it started to set fire to my lawn that was tinder dry and was due to the down firing exhaust pipe outlet.

I believe I fitted a piston for another model saw in the thing as the original was toast. 

Anyway, it worked just fine.
