Screw-ups are a given but the ones that really irriatate a guy are when you do not realize it until later when it is nearly put together. That seems to be the way things go around here.

NOw do I see a whole in that piston or is it just me....:( Have a nice one, you deserved it :cheers:

You are correct! There is a hole in that piston! BUT it is supposed to be there. thats where the wrist pin connects to the connecting rod......the conecting rod connects to the crankshaft........the crankshaft conects to the leg bone, Oh sorry, got carried away

**** happens

as a mech. I know that you can only get mad at yourself but even that won't fix it you just got to take it appart again and put it back together the right way. your lucky it's only a small saw, it could be the clutch plate in backwards in a mack.

Still Grinning!

Just to update: It's back together the right way (hopefully) and should be running tomorrow then on ebay Sunday. It was a piece of cake this time except I didn't realize exactly where the oil line went untill after the blue locktite had set on the tank and trigger housing. Then I found that pull start housing was kinda in the way of the bug screen that needed to be screwed to the flywheel. All that's left now is to rebuild the carb and put it and the reed valves in. What could be any simpler than that!......Bob

I know there's a whole in the piston for the connecting rod, but normally you can not see it from the muffler side, at least not with the saws I know of :confused:

deep sadness

Drop a valve adjustment shim down the cam chain tunnel of an inline four cylinder motorcyle engine and you wil get a really bad feeling in the pit of your stomach.

Thumb Oiler!

Everything for it is there and even one oil line goes to the handle. It's all blocked off from the factory with screw caps. I debated with myself about taking the set up from another saw and putting it on or just plugging the one oil line but decided to just leave it as found. Besides, it's been apart too many times already and it does oil just fine......Bob
