its got a nice gear reduction unit on it, back then they didn't believe in mufflers, most had none or either just a small pipe to guide the exhaust....That saw looks like a David Bradley
if ya get it running, it wont rev up like a modern saw, it will sound more like what we call 4 stroking at the shop. (rich, loaded up sound)

I looks like a "Power Products" engine. David Bradley used motors that they outsourced.
A problem with the older 2 strokes is that the bearings can get gummed up. If they are not free they will seize! I don't know how to check or protect that from happening. Hopefully a 2 stroke guy will chime in! Nice saw, I'd hate to see something happen to it!

cool, I bet most mufflers fell off from the vibration..... we had a collection of about 25 at the shop and half were gone. yes its true most of those old engines will need crank seals. leaking seals will throw off the mixture and make it hard/ impossible to start or adjust especially around idle speeds. if there is any gumming of bearings, rings etc, berkibile brand 2+2 carb. cleaner works very good. If you need a carb diaphragm one from a Tecumseh type carb should fit.
