No pics!!!
Just have what the "OP" said........Of course scoring is bad
Read it again. Think context. He was responding to the post above.Just have what the "OP" said........
Does this come under the 9,999 good jobs & no one says a word drop one "clanger" & the owner has the biggest mouth & the most relationsYou expect a decent mechanic to waste a bunch of time on a saw with bad piston scoring?
If he gets it to actually start and run for a little while, then what? It wouldn't run long, and then you would biatch about paying him for his time, go around telling folks how bad he is, etc....
Hopefully he will charge you for looking at it and giving an estimate.
Yeah, usually the cylinder can be saved, but my point is, that futzing around with the fuel system is pretty much wasted time/money, if you have visible piston damage.
Wow, looks rough!!Howdy, finally got around to pulling it apart. Bottom ring was stuck & damaging cylinder. You were right. Ill post a new thread with alot of pics. Still trying to decide if its worth rebuilding or....
More like a lean seize, still a worthy project. That was spotted before by the Stihl tech, I hope he vac checked before pulling that jug.Run without oil in the mix. Doesn't take long for a piston to turn to crap.
That's more than a little wear. If you're 461 looks like that you need to do that top until LOL
With some luck and elbow grease, you could have a solid saw. Meteor piston$40, might be able to save the cylinder, new seals, fuel line, impulse line, carb kit and carb boot, you’d still be in it for maybe $100, and priceless experience.Haha.. i hope not. I take pretty good care of it.
This 066, I knew was gana be rough, knowing who I got it from. I was surprised to see it was that bad. Im not into it much $$ wise so I can still abandon it. Hope was to use it for milling.
