I got another 2014 and a 3516 in the pile of saws last month. Noticed right away they have a lot of crank endplay like the 2014 I raised from the dead.

Like a 1/16"!!! good grief gertie. :dizzy:

Is this just they way it is for cranks running in roller or needle bearings? I wouldn't expect any felt endplay in radail ball bearing cranks.

Poulan tophandles seem to have lots of endplay also.
