Hi Everyone,
Picked up an 024Super as a project saw. It had been straight gassed so cleaned up the cylinder and put a new meteor piston in it. Ran a tank of gas thru it and was happy with the power but it was idling like it had an air leak. Found the PTO side crank seal was leaking. I decided to have a dealer change the seals and he found that some of the ball bearing are missing. At this point he calls me and tells me the saw is not worth what its going to cost for him to fix it. He did take the time to explain that there is no way of determining how much damage has taken place inside the case without spending a lot of time on it. I'm just looking for some opinions on what to do with the saw. Thanks
