Sold Jonsered 2252. autotune. complete saw, runs, needs crank bearings.

This is a nice Jonsered 2252 that I picked up about 6 months ago. It's a 2013 model, and I hate to part with it, but I already have 3 50cc saws. This saw is complete and was being used until about 2 month ago. it needs new crank bearings. I have a video of the problem here:


I'm selling this PHO. I will include a .325 or a 3/8 rim. The saw is stock except for the muffler mod (I cut a hole in the back, cleared out the cat, and welded a new flange to the front. Here is a video of the saw running right after I purchased it.


I'd like to have it sold soon just so I won't have to think about parting with it. Is $250 shipped reasonable? if not shoot me an offer.

It's a little dirty from sitting, but here are some pics:

How do the bearings fail so prematurely?

I honestly don't know. factory defect? I only run 91 with stihl ultra at 42:1..... it hasn't been abused by any means.

Just a thought here...
Its hard to tell by just watching the video but are you sure its not just the flywheel magnets grabbing the coil when you spin the crank? I have noticed the magnets on this series of saw grab pretty hard. Have you tried spinning the crank with the flywheel off?
Or does the crank bearings just feel rough?

I first thought it was the coil "grabbing" the flywheel, but it's too rough for that, and it's rough around BDC. it takes some effort to turn it over and it's not grabbing near TDC where the coil would typically do.


Oh, Sold pending payment

2 weeks straight checking multiple times per day for 2252/53 saws and I miss this one due to work. Damnit. One of these days I'll get the timing right.
