Just brought this............. :)

Just out of interest then, how much would a 090 be then?

 

 

137cc.

 

The contra lightning came in two sizes, which evolved into the 070 (106cc) and 090(137cc).

 

There are some exceptions, the 090G is 106cc

[Tommy_B]

What would one be worth? Couple of hundred?

any idea of a date for these saws?

Whatever someone is willing to pay is my answer to this. There are always collectors who will go that bit higher for something they really want.

Somebody summoned me?! It's a contra s, precursor to the 090, so it's 137cc. Check to make sure it has the proper 3 shoe clutch, and hasn't been fitted with the 1109 six-shoe

ok, thanks

ive now got it

i have no experience with saws without self oiling pumps.

how does it work, do you just press the button on the oil pump even 5 mins you use it or how does it work?

also what position is full and half choke? same as normal saws??

as for the chain brake, is it electric!??

 

sorry have no idea as a bit different to the 200t, 271 and 460 etc!

thanks

It has an automatic, adjustable oil pump (which is a bugger to adjust, 10mm spanner) and a manual pump for more oil, if running 4ft+ bars.

 

Choke is operated by pulling the lever forward until the wire catches it, to release the choke, push it forward.

There is no half choke!

 

There is no chainbrake! There never was for the 1106 series of saws. But the chain doesn't move fast enough for violent kick-back, if correctly limited, it produces a meagre 16m/s of chain speed! If the spring on the wind-vane is worn, you'll find it does a fair bit less.

Actually, would you do me a favour, could you remove the top cover and metal cylinder shroud, take a photo of the cylinder and post it up?

 

I was watching the eBay listing myself, the saw has had a few new parts, such as cover, clutch cover, front and rear handles, muffler and dogs.
