PM800 .. Day 5 .. RUNNER!
Try drilling it from the "inside", that way if the drill happens to get stuck you may luck out and break the stud loose and screw it out. A bit of heat around the broken stud may help as well, the magnesium will grow a lot faster than the steel.
They are pretty hard, good luck with it.

Ya know, a similar thought has occurred to me. Just need to locate a friend with the proper gear.
Ted is that yellow original paint or a repaint?
Looks to be original ... but it has this funky 'dirty' haze to it. I've seen the same thing on quite a few PM610 saws. Were these assembled in Mexico, too?
Ran into a bit of a problem (why isn't there ever a gun handy when you need one?) with the Zama carb. Seems the kit that was spec'd for the C2 carb won't fit; it's about 1/2 size! I can't explain it and neither can the parts guy. A call to Joey (who's always ready to talk while he's driving!
) suggested I refer to the xref chart he sent to us some time back. Chart suggested the alternate use of a Walbro SDC-38 .... just so happens I had an SDC-37 here; same carb, shorter screws. Put a kit in it and off we went ...
Took quite a few pulls and some carb tinkering to get it going, but go it did!
Don't know if I'll ever develop a liking for the exhaust tone; like a muffler-less Buick blowing through a large oil drum. Has some nice snappy throttle response, though!
Two outstanding issues:
1) Need to get the carb dialed in a bit better. After it started and ran a couple minutes, had to get stuff put away before yet another thundershower hit.
2) Need to get the correct clutch cover squared away after that broken stud's removed.
Then I'll post the finished photos with the B&C installed!
Note to everyone: Give Joey a rep shot for helping me out on this! My first piston replacement and his help was terrific!
