Can't help with the part numbers but wanted to mention, do not use rtv on the case gaskets. Rtv does not stand up to gasoline. I have used both motoseal and threebond. A search on this sight will turn up other options as well. I like motoseal because you can get it at just about any Auto parts store.
 
Just got the crankshaft in today. Everything appears to be acceptable. It seems like there may be a little gunk in the connecting rod roller bearing. What's the best way to clean that bearing? Kerosene?

Kerosene will do it. I usually use chlorinated brake cleaner. That and a toothbrush. I'd put some oil on it (same stuff you mix for your gas) before installing.
 
Well today was frustrating. It's trying to start but won't. Because I didn't have a bar it threw the e-clip and washer off the clutch twice. The e-clip appears to be stretched out pretty bad. Possible reasons for not starting. I lost the original flywheel flare nut and temporarily used an m8x1.00 lock nut with a washer. If I ran out of thread before fully seating the flywheel that could be a real problem. I heated the case half with the coil attached because I didn't want to mess with gapping the coil. Could have toasted the coil. Didn't get the case halves all that hot maybe 200 degrees. It's getting fuel, and it's getting spark. Weak spark or poorly timed spark? Thoughts?

Flywheel key is intact. Checked the spark and it's good. I think at this point I over lubed the jug with stihl mix oil, and can't stop flooding it.
 
Well I give up for the night. I have good spark but keep flooding the plug over and over. I never flooded this saw in the 1 1/2 years of day to day use before it broke. I haven't touched the carb and it did sit for about a year and a half between when it broke and now. Should I try to adjust the carb?
