Chainsaw Repair

What happened  on the 034 before I put the 036 cylinder on it was it was used by a tree service and badly abused .They ran that thing with all the flocking sucked out of the air filter,just the wire screen.Ran it without the bearing in the clutch and actually broke a clutch segment .It didn't have any transfer but did have a lot of wear caused by ingesting dust into the engine .I screwed up the cylinder by using too aggressive type of flap wheel and cut right through the plating.
I put that thing back together with parts robbed from other parts saws except the Meteor piston and Caber rings .The clutch was repaired with I think a segment from an 029 .
I think the reason a tree service would use them is they were  a cheaper option than say an 044 having first used 029/039 that would no way hold up to the abuse they would be subjected to .Had they been been taken care of they would have done okay as a ground saw .It proves once again to let things go eventually they turn into junk .BTW tree service saws are the most wrung out abused saws anybody would ever  find. In case you have an option to buy one .If you do be prepared to work on it and don't pay much money for it .
That's it in a nut shell .Good saws and would make a dandy fire wooder .Light enough and certainly have enough power .
