Any good welders on here?

[dh1984]

I like to find out if they are any good cylinder welders on here before i buy something and find out that it can't be fixed.

Well I'll let the pictures and the ad on e-bay tell you the story.

An aircraft cylinder shop could take care of the spark plug hole. My opinion is that is too much for a saw with that many issues. I think it's about $100 worth of parts saw.

According to Mike acres, that saw takes this plug: CJ6Y 14 mm diameter or thread size, with a range of 9.5 mm

If you mean magnesium welding, then that is done TIG, or GTAW. MAG welding is a process similar to MIG welding. MIG=metal inert gas. MAG=metal active gas.

Yes, it's 14 mm thread, as are 99% of all the other saws out there, but if you read the listing it says the hole is wallered out too big for a coil.

That's at least four times too much money for that pile. If someone offered it to me for $50 I'd have to think on it. A runner would hardly be worth $275.

The best process would be to tig weld it. No spatter to clean up but youwould have to plug weld it.then get it redrilled then tap it to thread dimensions.aka. machine shop.also al the crap the metal has absorbed.I weld for aliving .I would pass on this one too much for what it is worth.

Yeah just wait on one with a good cylinder.

Another option bore out and use a threaded insert Not the coils. Still a lot of messing around for something lacking a decent resale value.

I'd buy it, if I were you. That would make a great saw for your "tree service".

I heard mastermind does good work.

You should contact him

 

[XSKIER]

Buy the saw, get an ngk A-8 spark plug, and then a heli-coil kit for 18mm! It will be very nice then!

 

[Genius.]

When it's fixxed, don't forget to put a spark plug in before trying to start it

Two words... I would jb weld the plug in. Or silicone if your jb welder quit working.

Jezze Andy, do you know anything!!!!! Everyone knows JB won't do it, you need to weld it in with either 6011 if there is a little oil on the cylinder, or if you get it clean go with 7014

NAW all you have to do is weld the top of the slug and plug the hole, fill the tank with diesel and go cut wood!

 

[JRepairsK70e]

easy fix .....over tighten the chain and use it like a hand saw [would cut just as good ]:jester:....then give it to your brother who is tuff on equipment

 

[Walt41]

Ouch, looks like someone drilled it with the cylinder on...guessing the big hole at the top might only provide a good view of the trashed cylinder. Pass!

For all we know it could be his brother trying to sell it

Oh I know things. One thing for certain duh is getting some quality feedback here. Hope he buys the saw and does a build thread. It could be duh meets the echo 8000. I'm sure if he runs into any issues he can ask his boss man ole emu leggs.
