Absolutely, forgot to mention that if the gas has no oil in it, that will destroy the piston in a few minutes.First question would be, what caused it ? If straight gassed, pretty straight forward.
How would you get it running for $50??First question would be, what caused it ? If straight gassed, pretty straight forward.
Other problems, who knows. I could likely get it back running for $50 and my time if just straight gassed.
I have one and that was the case.
It's really not worth much of anything more than the bar and chain. Give him $50 to be nice.
Look for piston and cylinder kits:How would you get it running for $50??
I bought a saw once that had a aftermarket p/c and it was junk, I've since rebuilt said saw with oem and won't look back.Look for piston and cylinder kits:

Thanks for the input, I'll tell him his options.Getting back to the original question. You can likely make a good saw out of it.
But, if you are honest and tell a buyer that it is a rebuilt burnt up saw you will be hard pressed to make it worth your trouble as far as resell.
Think I got it now, got it as smooth as I could with what I have.
Thanks all for the input. View attachment 1170566
That's what I was worried about, I used a very fine sandpaper head and then used 400 grit sandpaper by hand, but I'll check the roundness.H
Hmmm, judging from your photos and use of a dremel, I suspect you have gone through the plating and/or reshaped the cylinder into an oval rather than a circle. This would make it difficult for a new piston to seal.
You can check this with reference to the unscored intake side of the old piston.
