2101 questions

[Sapo_feo]

I picked up a 2101 last week for parts for my 2100, and now I have to get it running. I only wanted the muffler, but my CAD has flared up so I need to keep it. It had been sitting outside with the air cleaner off and the crankcase was full of water. Do I need to replace the wrist pin bearing? Any other things I should look for?

Yes, the bearings need changed out or they will go out fast if you dont. look for rust in and on every thing that slides or spins together in the fuel mix.

Thanks for the information. Everything in the crankcase looks good. Plenty of slime, but no rust, I'll change the bearings and the rings while I'm in there. I have never dealt with a waterlogged saw before so I have to ask. Is it advisable to give the crankcase the ol' diesel douche like you would a 4-cycle? - Fill the tank with diesel, sparkplug out, and crank her a few times to work the water out- Or is that not good for the bottom end bearings?

I think a " diesel douche" wont hurt a thing, diesel is a good cleaner.
