1st time rebuild

[Steve burrows]

I've just bought a jonsered 2150 with a scored bore. Ive got all the parts to put back together but I was just wondering if there was anything I need to do or watch out for while rebuilding. This is the first one I have tackled and I'm going in blind, so any advice will be greatly appreciated

Lubricate everything with a little bit of premix oil. Otherwise it'll be completely dry when you first start it up.

That's brilliant thank you, I knew it would need a bit of lubrication but wasn't sure what to use

Make sure you reseal the lower adapter that holds the crank in. They get loose and leak. Might as well do it the first time. Do a search if in doubt about what sealer to use. Plane old silicone is not suggested.

I've never rebuilt a saw before so any advice and pointers would be all greatly appreciated.

Motoseal three bond are some words to search on this site

What kind of mix oil would you use?

I'd just use whatever I had on hand. You could use assembly lube if you had it. It might stay on the parts better.

 

[Steve burrows]

Would it be worth changing the crank shaft bearings while the saw is apart? I've bought the saw as a non runner so they are a complete unknown

 

[zwoehr]

Probably not unless you are already disassembling the saw that far. There is no need to split the case to do the top end rebuild.

Just like to thank everyone for taking time to share your advice and help, I got the saw to run this afternoon, and it was very satisfying to say the least. Just got to find some wood to try her out with
