This is still the original plastic, so the final product will look even nicer.
The muffler is yet to be modded, sandblasted, and painted.

And what you've been waiting for...the video of it running.

Have you done a compression test?
Even with a less than perfect cylinder with fresh honing, as well as rings with endgaps of .020" and .022", it's still making 145-150 PSI. That would increase as the cylinder walls are smoothed out from the honing. This cylinder would be totally fine with a new piston, but given the opportunity, I chose to go with the new kit for only $40 more.
Nice work!
When i get working i usually take no pictures so you did good.

I don't like the fuel line on this saw. It seems too short on both ends. The fuel filter barely touches the bottom of the tank on its end and the other end nearly kinks to reach the carb. Is this normal for the older 026s?
I seem to recall some discussion about these two lines but don't recall the details. Can I swap to the newer one or is the hole in the tank different? If it needs to be larger then it's no big deal. The one on the saw looks like 1121 358 7705, but I'd prefer to use 1121 358 7700.
Also, should all 026s have cover washer PN 1121 162 1001 under the clutch, or was it only implemented with the newer clutch?
And finally, I have a question about the tank vent. This has the older style vent using a fiberous cone on the outside. Should there be a plastic cover over that? Perhaps PN 1121 350 5802?
