Chainsaw Repair

Out of curiousity I flea bayed that one and got surprised .I had no idea they made an after market cylinder for a clam shell engine and they do .I learned something today .

I did find a piston pretty cheap like 19 bucks .If that cylinder would clean up it might be the hot ticket .Rubber gloves ,3m green scratchy and easy off oven cleaner might do it .No flap wheel now ,you'll grind right through it before you know it .Traveled that road .

Make sure you get the right piston. 2 were made 42mm and 42.5mm. May not apply to the 250 but does the 025.

IF you need piston kit. AFM Meteor   42.5mm http://northwoodsaw.com/store/index.php?l=product_detail&p=68

42.5mm ring  http://northwoodsaw.com/store/index.php?l=product_detail&p=704

Well I kind do some stuff half fast some times but I've buffed them out if they aren't too bad . A low spot below the rings unless it's a giant one usually won't hurt you .A high spot is what breaks the surface tension of the oil film and will get ya .

The thing won't be perfect but you probabley won't even notice it if it holds compression .Just depends on what you want to do with it I guess .

You get it going with maybe new rings  and  run it with 32 to 1 and it might go for years .
