I just brought the parts of 3 dead concrete saws into my dining room, and my wife didn't even blink. I have her well-trained. Room smells like WD-40 too. I did cleanup all the concrete dust that fell out.
I had a parts washer and put Simple Green in it, and pretty soon all the paint was bubbling and coming off of it. For now I just put WD-40 on my parts until I can get a pressure washer to it, or find a non-volatile cleaning solution to put in a parts washer.Simple green works well

You need to shop around for Stihl prices.Brad,
Some of the junk in there might have come from when I was brushing mineral spirits around and them blowing compressed air... I didn't block the bottom end very end. But that wouldn't explain any damage.
The crank moves freely. I'm glad to hear that there's always side to side play. If I hold the bottom part of the crankshaft, and try to move the top part of the crankshaft, there is no up and down play that I can detect. Same was true when I hold the top part of the crankshaft and tried to move the piston...no up and down play.
I'll order a new piston. The cylinder/bottom end gasket also tore when I pulled the cylinder so will order that too as well as a carb kit. have a full set of rubber parts coming from Huztl on eBay. Do I need to go OEM on the rubber parts ? one OEM mount costs more than what a full set of parts costs shipped from China.
Anything else I ought to order while I'm at it ?
Since the saw is apart, I guess I can't test if the crank seals are leaking. Was it a mistake to pull the cylinder before testing for leaks ?

With a shop like yours,Well i am not allowed to even bring saws in the house ,you got a step ahead of me
Check your clutch drum needle bearing. You may also need a couple extra m5 screws, possibly m6 for the cylinder and muffler. If you go Meteor, the 660 kit i got this summer had eared circlips. I used OEM.
If you got the replacement rubber kit with all rubber parts, then it comes with a fuel line, impulse line, and boot. I havent used em yet, so I cant tell you to try em. OEM intakes are pricey (at least for an 044 i built this summer).
I'll check in the morning.What's he asking for an 044 intake boot ? My dealer's as honest as they come , but they still got me for around $30 or so.
+1You should order the gasket and seal kit, cheapest way to go. Definitive Dave responded to the first part of your post, talk to him and he can hook you up with all that you need. He's a great guy to deal with, very fast shipping, and reasonable prices (tools and parts).
