I would agree except he said he was pretty good about maint. Like air filter and what not. It is pissible tho
The aforementioned "gunk" could have been the culprit if 30 years worth of excess bar oil residue finally built up to the point that the flywheel could no longer push cooling air through the fins and out the front of the saw. Maybe.
I'm thinking the fins were coated with dust/gunk and it overheated. Wouldn't be surprised. I have a 51 I bought new in 1992 and I've never had the cylinder cover off. Hard to see what all is in there. It's probably all originalI don't believe that carbon caused that divot in your piston. I'm still stumped on what could have caused the plastic to melt. Was the muffler loose?
