Chainsaw Repair

Sorry I am late with pictures of the damage. The cylinder scoring cleaned up well but under closer inspectionI found some damage to the left side rear transfer port. The first four pictures are of all sides of the piston. next is a pair of close-ups that show the damage to the piston itself and the last picture it the damage to the transfer port.

Even though the cylinder ceaned up I don't believe I would trust the cylinder.

Any thoughts?

I would use it.... But that's just me. As long as there isn't any edges for the ring to snag on.

Give your customer the option.   Cylinder or anything we have doubts about I give them the options and let them choose. As much as we all would like to repair a Saw to like new condition money sometimes limits our ability to do that. Just did a suzuki rm125 That had a similar damage to port edges and we let him choose.  Ended up just cleaning cylinder and installing a new piston.

01 I think. It was one of those deals that one of our regular customers took us too literal when we say we will work on anything! Another friend/customer was in the shop picking up his water pumps and saw the 125 and his face lit up...asked if we worked on stuff like that...couple hours later he comes back with a Kawasaki 1100 stx jet ski!!!!! needs rebuilt. he was quoted couple grand for just a topend rebuild. Off subject but anyone know where to get wiseco piston kits? bought the one for the rm125 off ebay.
