I took this saw on trade and told the owner I would help him recoup some money for it. It's not perfect, but I would make a good starting point for someone who wants to build an OE 346. The saw is complete, I disassembled it to get a solid description of the existing problems.
I am not listing a price but will take offers for a few days. I am only doing it this way to help the person I got it from. I have a price in mind and if I get that price, I will pull the listing. I know this is not an auction site and this is not my usual way of listing saws. But this is an unusual situation and I stand by choosing to do it this way.
Just the facts, sir-
it looks as if the cylinder had some transfer and that it was not thoroughly cleaned. I don't feel it on the cylinder, but the evidence is on the piston. The cylinder has a tiny score below the exhaust port. I think with a little work this cylinder will run just fine. It is missing one half of the top cylinder fin, it should not cause future problems.
the piston could be cleaned and used with a new ring.
the FW side AV limiter is stripped out. I don't know of a repair other than welding or replacing the case half. I have a spare AV limiter that I will throw in if you will remind me.
