I found the email now that you said that. I don't check email very often but I'm on the site daily.

The 36" rsc loop you sent me was nice. After I touch it, it will never cut like it did after you ground it!

Yeah I hear he is hell on wheels with a grinder.

I will take you up on that offer!

My air cleaner adapter is shown on a thread somewhere on AS.

It's no good for general cutting, more of a show / race piece.

Thought this would be a good place to stick these pics
This is a 2100 I built fer a member here (RVALUE)

I was tuning a few saws today in the trunk of a mountain ash. Decided to buck the rest of the log into firewood size portions and pulled out the 2100. I have not run this saw since the carb change so I grabbed a little screw driver and headed out back, a little tuning and she flat rips. I did not have a camera man but did take some parting shots before dark.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Dan that saw is beautiful! Jim you know I am a fan of your's as well. Absolutely bullettproof!

SO I think I am retiring the 36" bar I was going to put on my 2100. I have a 25" bar that I will be using for now but I will need a bigger bar. Just saw a auction on Ebay for a hardly used 32" Oregon reduced weight bar go for $60 :bang: Them bars are like $180 new!

 

[NORMZILLA44]

A 32 is really good, my 2101 has a 34, and it fit's like a glove, really nice on that saw. I am not a super fan of the reduced weight bars, they are good don't get me wrong. But delicate, and and seemed to move a lot and vibrate when we cut. Been awhile, and they may have improved them. Husky has a tech lite I believe, and the Stihl es light. I have run the Stihl es light, and they work real well. If I had the funds, light is nice, but I would run all Canon, yep they are that good. If I was you I would grab a Oregon 34, man I love it on that husky.

Love the looks I get when I take a saw to the shop for parts or chain work and they see those old 3 rivet nose Cannons I have still going strong, tips are getting really hard to find now .

 

[Eccentric]

Somebody say "Old 3 Rivet Nose Cannons"???

 

[carym2a]

I only have one cannon roller nose and four sprocket nose's , great bars and no bad vibs just smooooth:msp_wub:

So I thought I got a smoking deal paying under $200 for a running 2100 considering parts saws are going for over $200 on ebay. I tore it down 40 minutes ago and found some bad. Compression is just shy of 150. Piston on the exhaust side is scored. Cylinder looks like it will clean up. Bolt holes for the exhaust are SERIOUSLY messed up. Looks like one side was drilled out and the other was helicoiled. Some other minor things as well. I may just try and find another 2100 and combine the best parts???

I think your case is still solid, scoring may have been caused by loose exhaust, that is a damn shame but keep your chin up, they are worth the rebuild.

 

[R2D]

If you saw me, you'd of thought my dog died :msp_sad:
Are Golf brand pistons any good?
And what am I going to do with the exhaust bolt holes

I think a parts saw is going to be your best bet as I do not know what would be cheaper, a machine shop making you a brand new cylinder or buying a good one on the bay. I think there was conversation in this thread about the Golf pistons or maybe other aftermarket pistons. Seems I read a thread where someone put a 2100 P&C on a Jonsered saw, find out who it was and ask where they got it.

That was Brad S, and he used OEM thin ring and OEM cylinder.

I bet it would only cost $30 or so to have that flange welded up with a TIG. Then drill and tap using the muffler gasket as a pattern.
I would fix the cylinder if it was me.

Right, Right, thank you for refreshing my memory, contact Brad and see if he can get any more, if they were NOS they must have been spendy.
