What gives? No dust to fall in the crankcase? My stuff is never that clean.
2X rises w/coleman fuel then 2X rinses w/mix. Keep yer bearings happy

With both rings past the base of the cyl I install the bolts ( Never seized first) and a piece string around the intake boot ( rayon, 2 turns , scrap from girlfriends knitting project,,,,,,)
Lower cyl as you pull the boot through tank housing, yank one end of string to remove it. Bolt cyl down, plug intake/exhaust to keep bugs out.
More to come......
Need to install flywheel and check ignition clearance, feeler gauges work, 0.010". Rope works great for piston stop, make sure it is clean!!! Stihl puller pictured is a must have for flywheel removals!
Same idea on other side, be careful as the crank will be opposite to tighten. On clutch side, pull the rope, and bring ca. 30 o before TDC insert rope again, remember, "left handed" threads/rotation....rope in port(s) is NOT good!
Tighten clutch. Install clutch upgrade, check oil pump drive spring, button up access.
I trashed an early clutch bearing on a 036, crank survived, be forewarned, 034 users too!
More to come......two more pics for this post......
If you have pics of your oil line installation I would love to see those. Thanks for attempting to rebuild this thread with your pictures!
The thread is not locked, it`s just timed out and a moderator has no control over a time out, it cannot be restored by one of us.
Thanks for filling me in on this. Is the time out, time to edit, or time thread is inactive?
We lost a lot of stuff in the crash, and again due to photobucket. It would be great of original posters could restore the old threads
With a clean stripped saw, my local dealer, put the seals in for $15
The oil pump line installed and all the parts ready to go.
Case ready for piston.
I use a nail head to seat the circlips. Put 1st clip on off the saw. Don't forget the base gasket. Protect bottom end with some clean towels.
Piston holder and cyl install. Holder made of 1" scrap red oak, old toothbrush with handle sharpened is great for working rings into groove I start near the pin and work my way around.
More to come......
Seems like the best way to put pictures back in is to "reply" to my own posts. Will try to do so but will take a while. The replies will be to the posts.
I hope this is worth my effort, again, and it helps pay back the debts I owe You all for "edumacating" me on saws all these years.
Best, MP
O.K. I've posted carnage of original, final saw and clutch/oil hose pics.
I'll try to add pics for each post as a "reply"., maybe with some comments past original.
This is the clean saw after I got it back w/new seals. Mr Billy/William Bratcher of Bennington Vt, He's the best, took the clean saw an $15 put the seals in from OEM gasket set. I didn't have seal puller back then and it was a chance to visit/bother Billy

Make sure it's clean

Stuff some clean PT/rags in the bottom end. (thats for when the circlip goes "PING!" to points unknown......)
Have rings on piston already, one clip in, install piston/bearing/pin. Put a piston support under the piston.
View attachment 596380 You make that out of a 1" oak scrap , lasts forever......View attachment 596383
PITA to get circlips in. I start them with a thumb, then use a nail head to push in to seat them. Be careful steel is tougher than piston. Can also use "modified tooth brush"...
Now to put jug on. Piston is held nice with oak holder. Put some lube on the cylinder liner. Start cyl on piston. You need to compress the ring. I start at a pin then use a fingernail, when that stops working well I use a toothbrush handle modified for the job. It won't muck up your piston.Do both rings.

When you get both rings inside jug slide the jug down. Now get ready to both install the jug and pull the inatke boot into the tank housing.
You need some knitting string (ask girlfriend). two wraps around end of intake boot with long tag ends, put tag ends through hole in tank housing. Pull cyl assy to TDC without pulling out piston, put your cyl bolts into cyl. Remove piston support and PT you stuffed into bottom end. Carefully lower cylinder towards case while pulling both string tag ends through tank housing. If a cyl bolt falls into case, aaarrgghhh!!!!
Well out of uploads this post. String trick next episode....
