The piston is actually perfect no scoring or anything. I have brought back much worse. This baby will be mint.

I will keep dropping in on this thread to watch your progress, I just did up 3 of the 009L`s and they made very handy small saws.

I say this in every 009 post ive ever seen . Unless you know exactly what your getting into do not pull that cylinder off that saw . OMG . i did and it was a nightmare getting the bearings back in the big end of the connecting rod.

It has to come off so wee shall see how it goes the crankcase needs to be replaced were the handle attaches is broken off.

I agree. Been there done that I used some grease to hold the rollers in place. You could try putting a couple of zip ties around the big end to hold it in place.

Just keep in mind that if the connecting rod slips to the left or the right in the slightest the bearings will dump . before you pull the cylinder look thru intake and exhaust and see if you can figure out some kind of bearing holde to keep the crank from sliding off. trust me it will be well worth the time spent . it took me 4 hours to get the bearings restacked in the saw.

They are fun little saws to port, that grease trick does work to get the bearings together, been there two. Reed valve is a bit of a bottle neck but it can be worked with.

They port up well but need to be careful not to go too high with the compression or they get nasty for starting esp if doing tree work.

Progress pics

Here are some progress pics I took real quick saw is almost done now need more parts. Your sugestions of holding the rod were great I used a zip tie and it worked great.

Looking good, keep posting progress. The zip tied connecting rod to crank is a very good idea. Thanks for sharing.

spark

I have an 009 and an 009L neither one has spark. What do you guys suggest and if you have a coil for one let me know I guess thats what I need.

Looking good this rebuilt. I have some emotional attachment to Stihls 009 since they were the first saws I bought and used, a 009 L and a 009 !

Guarddog1, if you manage to get a way to include some anti-vibration mechanism in this saw, you'll get the nobel prize for mechanics!
