No.
That's a Mighty-Mite Bantam, which is somewhere under 40cc.
Kenzie is talking about the plain old Bantam style saws, which are all at least 82cc (think he's referring to his Super 660 in particular.)

@happysaws what wrench do you use to remove spark plugs from those old bantam style Remington saws? Could you get me pictures

Here ya go.
The small flat wrench came with the saws originally.
The weird curved one came from eBay, and it works better than the flat one in my opinion.

Oops, what was that off of? Can't really tell for sure. Either way, it looks expensive.

2004 Yamaha 250cc dirtbike. The rod went through the case. I paid $25 for the whole thing.

I'm putting back together, (my first attempt), a 034 after a little port and polish job.. Again, first attempt.. I have axel grease, any number of different weights oil, two stroke oil, Wesson's, and even a little extra virgin olive oil for special occasions. Feel free to chime in on which one I should use sliding the piston up and in the cylinder, and for initial startup.. Thanks, K

Thought that looked like a thumper cylinder.

I usually use automatic transmission fluid or marvel mystery oil, I’ve used 90w gear oil before and I’m sure 2 strike oil would be fine too. I wouldn’t use axel grease, I imagine it doesn’t burn very well.

If I run that during break in, I'm going to get hungry running it you know. Associating the smell with food you know. That's probably why no one runs it.

On my last build I filled up the crank bears before I put the seals in and coated the piston bearing along with the cylinder and piston. I don't like to have a dry start, some way when I build an auto engine but I use STP on my bearings and oil in the bores. The cams get a different lube for push rod engines, but overhead cams get STP. Never had a failure.

I’m going to sell what parts are good and the junk is going to the scrap heap
