Came home this evening to find the lower-48-er who bought nearby some nearby property has run amok dropping trees, as they always seem to do, to build his Alaskan fantasy "cabin."
Seems the guy has no plans for the wood (so much for any frontier cred) and they're mine for the taking-- if I can move pretty fast. Unfortunately my 026 is sidelined with bad crank seals, but I do have a nice recently-acquired 260 Pro, sold cheap b/c it bogs in the cut and has 145psi compression.
Apologies b/c this has been addressed a hundred times before in various forms, but I'm in a pinch and want to fix this tomorrow before someone else scoops my score...
Just pulled the cylinder, everything looks perfect to my inexperienced eye. No striations to be found anywhere on piston, rings, or cyl walls; Heck, the walls have a smooth, almost mirror-like finish.
What's the best and/or quickest way to freshen this saw and get it in the game?
There's a Stihl shop nearby so parts should be available and yes, the usual rubber bits will be replaced while I'm at it.
Thanks!
