Chainsaw Repair

Skill branded Poulan S25-CVA.  Good saw.  I see that one has a 'custom' manual oiler button.  I must be getting a handle on CAD (finally).  I'm able to resist this one.  Got enough S25-CVA's already.....

And how many would that be?

Lessee.......

-One runner S25-CVA  in the 'working stable' (limbed a 100' or so tall redwood with it on Saturday after my 272XP threw a chain).  It's a strong dependable little saw after a fuel system rehab and crank seal replacement.

-One 'almost runner' S25-CVA that needs an AV mount, fuel system rehab, and crank seals.

-One really nice Craftsman red S25-CVA that's making it's way to me from Canada.  Just needs a fuel system rehab and seals.

-One cosmetically cherry S25-CVA with a scored piston and a cylinder that may clean up.  Waiting for its turn on the bench.

-One somewhat stripped parts S25-CVA with a roached P/C.

That's just the CVA models.  Got a few 'non-AV' 25DA and S25DA versions too.

-One Craftsman red 25DA waiting it's turn on the bench.  Got a good used P/C and some NOS rings for it.  After swapping those in and doing the usual fuel system rehab and crank seal replacement, it'll be good to go.

-One yellow/black Poulan Pro badged S25DA.  Cherry P/C.  Waiting on cleaning (it's filthy), fuel system rehab, and seals.

-Another dirty PP branded S25DA with a good P/C, but missing some parts.  May pull the P/C and ignition for the green S25-CVA with the scored piston.

-Another dirty PP branded S25DA (all three came from the same source) that's missing parts.  Looks like the P/C WERE cherry until some dipshit put a BOLT into the exhaust port to act as a piston stop.  Two large 'threaded' bolt shaped half-circle indentations in the piston crown.  Top ring's buggered.  Cylinder may or may not be damaged...

And then there's the Micros (and Micro 'relatives').  That's another (growing) list......
