Chainsaw Repair

I was watching it too.  Decided not to bid got toooo many projects.  I haven't seen anything on decals for 380.  I'm kinda sorta looking myself.  My 380 decals aren't too bad but.
Shep

Well, its pretty much what I thought iT would be.  Looks like one of the muffler holes is wallered out, guessing the muffler got loose, guy kept on running it, melts the some of the top cover & piston is scored.  I haven't pulled the jug off yet, but the piston really doesn't look too bad.  I'm kinda at the cross roads right now on which direction i should go with it.  I have located almost all of the missing trinkets so thats pretty well covered.  I will need to order at minimum an air filter for it.  You guys that own & have ran these I tryin to decide build it up with a ported 038 mag topend, which was how I discovered this great line of saws to start with, option b Modified mark mention using an 039 piston & porting the 60cc topend, I'm thinking about this option right now as the 039 piston is pretty cheap.  But on the other hand a 52mm piston & closed port cylinder really should be pretty nasty.  Oh & i all ready have a new 038 mag cylinder, but it looks like I will need to install an impulse nipple on the base of this cylinder. 

I will Kevin, first up is the lack of the impulse nipple on the cylinder.  The 1000 series variants have that on the crankcase.  I'm guessing all of the wider crankcase saws ie (330, 380, 3450, 3750 etc) have a nipple on the cylinder base instead of the crankcase.  I was wondering if the 3mm big bore is gonna be worth the troubles, or if anyone else besides Arrowhead over on AS had done one of these conversions.  It is 3mm larger & closed ports.

Ya, my 3.3 has it in the crankcase, & i may do that.  However I will all ready be machining on the cylinder
