Brrraaaaap!
Last winter I bought a pile of Jonsered saws and stuff (two 2171's and a 920, as well as a bunch of parts, 2171 crankcase, and an incomplete 371xp)
The parts saws each had issues. The 2171 had the flywheel side of the case smashed up. The 371xp appeared good, until I noticed the tank mount was broken off the case.
So I decided it would be a good idea to combine the two. I got the cases split, bearings out, and put the project on hold. Fast forward to this fall\winter, and I got around to putting it together. All used OEM parts. Thanks to funkysawman for the last of the parts I needed.
The build list is as follows-
371 flywheel side case half
2171 clutch side case half
371xp OEM jug+piston
modded 372 muffler
2071 fuel tank
2071 clutch cover
372 handlebar, top cover, air filter
Walbro HD6 carburetor
beat up 371 recoil
Other generic small stuff as well.
The saw got a fresh carb rebuild, fuel line+filter, all new gaskets, seals and bearings.
Posted a few days ago with a question about the bottom end rebuild. This was my first case split\new bearings, so I think I was just being over-cautious about the crank not turning silky smooth. The culprit was the seals giving some resistance.
I finished putting it together today. Yes, it's ugly, yes it's pretty beat up looking.
Why? Because I wanted to see if I could, that's why. Give myself the confidence to do a bottom end rebuild. If it went wrong, what the heck. If not, I got another running saw. It will probably end up being a truck saw. Don't think I could ever sell it to anyone.
Here's some pictures
