024 rebuild top end
leec:
Working on a 024 and have many questions. One question is how does the muffler attach? it seems to have very short bolts but the muffler doesn't appear to open up so you can get at the bolts. ??? The saw came to me missing a number of parts, muffler included so I didn't get to take it appart.
jmester:
There are 2bolts that go in the bottom of the muffler and cover that thread into the crankcase. The muffler and cover slide together at the top. Pry out the cover at the bottom near the bolt holes and wiggle and pull down and they should come apart. That will give you access to the inner bolt holes the attach the muffler to the cylinder. Hope that helps and is not as clear as mud.

026 shows the muffler too. I have the same muffler on the 026 I just rebuilt, I think. Just like jmester says to do it.
Mine is the middle one and now opened the single hole up to one big oval. Makes a different on these IMO.
