thanks. I bought it when I was still tree climbing. Since then I use it for light duty stuff. It's more agile than my 440 Magnum.
Just another junk chainsaw

Set my little 490 up so a guy could borrow it to run in the Ohio Sawfest events. He was missing a 0-54cc saw for class. Has to be 325 chain round filed for that class. Others 3/8 and round. Took spike etc off too.
Since I dont do this racing stuff anymore told him he could borrow saw for that class.
It wont place but gives him hotstart hands on wood and 3 cuts practice for his own saws later.

Went back at the 670 champ today.
Talking with a dealer online in messages. He noticed my old pics of 670 brake handle didn’t appear installed right.
So I grabbed the handle out of bin and removed the poulan black handle that worked perfectly.
Put the jred handle on and didn’t change anything. This time it fit perfect with the the right gap needed for hand. No clue what I fubarred last year but another set of eyes caught something none noticed in old pics.
Pic of correct inner part needed still.

When you find a right year for IPL of your 670 champ NOS clutch cover and the correct NOS clutch cover decal. Even correct inner plastic piece I was looking for from 96 IPL. I have the one in other cover from 99 IPL and it was to short. = Priceless.
I dont normally get into such stuff as I look at it as a chainsaw and it is a tool to cut wood. But someday I may sell and collectors of saws like this type of stuff.
Did pick up a better top cover ( 2 sticker one ). But isnt correct as there is some differences. I will sell it to someone that needs a earlier top cover or maybe even for 625 630.

When you get lucky enough to find that NOS top cover. You use it to do the project you let get hold of you.
For some reason I really like this saw. Same specs bore stroke as the new MS400 I was looking at but in a late 90's model. I thought heck I'd rather have the older then spend close to a grand for the new.
Also a new oem flocked filter to replace my mesh one.
Then a good cleaning and there she is ready.
Did find one thing I am glad I caught while cleaning. My new oem echo impulse line had split.
