OR......stick with a used OEM cyl.......
Maybe I'll do that, where would be a good place to obtain a lightly used one. Didn't seem to be many around in my extensive "Google research"lol. I may just put a new oem on it, from what I've read and watched the AM seem to have much better timing out of the box. This saw is from 81 and I was with my grandfather when he bought it in Kalamazoo, MI. I was just gonna go back through it with new seals and bearings(still good)...
.... than I started hanging out in forums and researching stuff...
My clutch has a cracked face, my oil gear stripped, it's a course thread crank so I "had to" find a new OEM 10mm crank that will also work with my old 2 piece ignition fly wheel, also 10mm. Pop up piston, caber ring, new tillotson carb, OEM intake/gastet, used gray top (didn't wanna cut my original white) to fit 272 under... So it should be pretty freshened up by the time I'm done. LoL
