I have a small Husqvarna saw torn down and it appears to have a bent rod. If I move the rod all the way to one side and rotate, it almost touches the crank; if I push it to the other side it has about 1.5mm clearance.
Once many years ago I straightened a B&S conn rod with a hammer, but it was a 3000 rpm clunker, not a 13,500 two-stroke.
I'm thinking I would need to support the rod at two points and apply pressure at the center of the bend.
Any experience you have with this would be interesting to hear. Thanks. Don
