New to the site. This is my first chainsaw. My BIL gave me an 036 for a couple of reasons. First, I needed a saw and second, it needed work.
Issues I know about so far. 16 inch rollomatic es bar needed a new nose, I've already fixed that. The major problem with the saw is that the crankcase is busted. There's a big hole in the oil resivour, about 1/2 dollar size. Somebody tried to fix the hole with jb weld and a piece of license plate... it still leaked oil.
I found a used crankcase on Fleabay and it should be here tomorrow. I have a gasket and seal set already. I have a new spark plug and fuel filter. It has good compression. No scoring on the piston that I can see through the exhaust or intake ports.
It ran when he stored it. I'm not sure how long it was in storage. I've had it for about a year and I'm finally getting around to working on it. Is there anything I need to know about the disassembly process? Any tips to make it easier?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
