Chainsaw Repair

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.
