Hello Everyone,
I have a 045 Super that is ceizing up. The piston is scored too deep to fix and the cylinder is questionable. I believe it happened because of cheap oil and the gasket below the cylinder was ripped in 2 places. I think the person I bought it from had it torn apart. The muffler was mounted upside down. The parts new are $255. It seems way too high for a very old saw. I have 2 questions?:
Can you put a 056 (54mm) cylinder and piston on a 045 super? I found some on Ebay but I can not find any 045 Super parts.
Does anyone have a 045 super cylinder and piston for sale?
I do not know what to do in this situation. For $255 I can probably find a running Stihl saw that can accomodate my 32" bar. Why would I chance fixing it? Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks for any help that you could possible give me.
Steve
