This is one good reason to have a bone yard.
If you got Jred saws in your boneyard let me know. Got a cust needs a P&C for a 70E. Cheap of course.
As much as some folks want to hate on the creamsicle saws (stihl) there are lots of aftermarket stuff available for older saws. Not so much for Husqvarna, Dolmar, Shindawa, Echo, Johnsered, Makita, Davis Bradley, McCulloch. I see a lot of older saws and some i just can't fix because of parts and Ebay to the rescue sometimes but not a reliable source and some prices are crazy.

I deal quite a bit with www.hlsproparts.com, not sure if you heard of them or not I would imagine you have.
Prices are great and they have a wide selection of OEM and aftermarket parts, from cranks to shut off switches. They are in Daytona Beach Florida. When you get on their site its called HLSupply, give it a shot, nothing to lose but time on the stupid computer. Might be worth it.

Model # is 70E. Not sure if nikasil or chrome. Cust saw at 90psi compression. Saw runs amazingly good for the low compression. Manual says should be about 140psi. Saw that size ahould have more power than his does so if he can find a better P&C he would be happy. HL supply has been a go to for me for years. Built a couple of the chineese creamsicle kit saws from them. A 660 and a 361.
