Think I can clean the cylinder with a little acid and polish the piston or replace piston? Poulan super 25da.

I would polish that piston and cylinder and drop new rings in. Why is that so carbon shellac'd looks like bad fuel? That what that scoring looks like it from.

Hard to say, looks like the saw has been sitting for many years in it's case.

I was gonna say that also by the way the piston is imprinted on the cylinder. Just dried up and glued it to the walls.

ModifiedMark looked at the cylinder and said looks like the chrome is coming off, so I went out and got it and inspected it with a bright light. Chrome is coming off, cylinder is toast.

Saw wasn't stuck, even fired it up the day I got it.

Well, how was everyone's weekend? Mine was pretty dull. Ordered some saw parts, so I should have a running ms361 next time I'm home.

My weekend went really well, got some more parts for the Lancaster 820. Got it all put back together and made a few cuts with it.
Not too happy with it though; it currently has a governed carb. That needs to be changed. Needs a bigger sprocket too. I'm thinking about getting an 11 pin for it.

Also, used my McCulloch SP70 to cut down a few box-elder trees for test logs, and moved the logs around with the '39 JD B.

That's about it.

Bought this David Bradley today. It seems to have plenty of compression but the previous owner (who inherited it) couldn't get it started. I'll tinker with it tomorrow...

Can anyone ID this? The only number I've found is cast in the bottom and not yet readable. No tags are attached.

Well, I am unable to find a Tillotson 1" bore non-governed carb for the Lancaster for less than $100.

No, I think Kensie is just showing off again lol! As you can see the cad withdrawals are getting up there again for me. Having homework assignments due help keep it down, but it's not a true match.

Lol, story of almost all of my saws. New parts and bars get expensive quickly. Been acquiring enough different bars and chains though, so that has been going down lately.

I wish, my Mac 250 would cream the competition in a heartbeat. I'm already making a name for myself as the saw guru on campus. Still got to find a practical purpose for it yet. Thinking I might try to get part time job with a tree service this summer instead of life-guarding again.

Ya, kind of hard throwing a trim saw to a person on a rope in the water, hard to hit them. Saw guru,mmmm, I smell money making time.

Can't you bypass the governor system on it?
