My Dad had this Stihl 034 laying around collecting dust because someone told him a few years ago it was not worth fixing. I figured I had nothing to lose and would at least I would have a look.
Here is what I found so far. I took apart the cylinder and image 1 shows some scoring at the top of the cylinder near the spark plug.
Image 2 shows some scoring up the cylinder wall near exhaust. The piston looks to be in Ok shape although I will probably replace it.
Any suggestions on how to repair the cylinder or if it is worth it to even attempt?
Would a lean gas/oil mixture cause this?
Can anyone recommend a good site to purchase a cylinder kit from?
