+1 on the bailey's stuff... They aren't always the cheapest, but are always real close, and absolutely great to deal with...
As far as some aluminum transfer???
Pssshhhh..... Get what ya can, then emery cloth some spiral, wipe the cylinder out, and re-assemble...
Run it... What little aluminum is on that nicasil coating, the fresh rings will have gone and out of your exhaust in the first tank... These motors aren't fragile... They just need Lotsa fuel and oil, and can digest alot of stuff and keep on running...
Ask me how I know...

Ok I'll try that. :msp_thumbup:

Asking??????:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

It's metallurgy my dear Watson!!!!
What component of a saw, can a flake of aluminum damage???
Cylinder? Nicasil
Bearings? Steel
Piston? Aluminum
Rings? Ductile cast iron

 

[Hedgerow]

Ok I'll try that. :msp_thumbup:

Then again, Levi and I boiled a whole saw in hot water and black dye friday night...
Motor and all....
We cut with it yesterday....
Hahahahahahaha!!!!!

Here are pics of the piston. I think I will try to recondition it as well. You guys are superb. All the advice, knowledge, and experience. It humbles a person and makes one thankful for friends. Especially friends like you guys. I will keep everyone posted on progress.

Looks like rings are stuck in the grove, I skip that Piston and go After Market.

I agree. I prefer to replace the piston if scoring occurs close to the ring groove. $30 is cheap insurance.

Yep, if Dan has a mosquito problem I can always bring out the Oly 945 and fire it up. It would only take a couple blips of the throttle. The Jasper FD might respond though.:msp_rolleyes:

Well, found some muratic acid and 400 grit sandpaper. Got it home, put cylinder in oven at 250 and baked for 15 minutes. (Sounds like a cake recipie.) Acid in one jar, baking soda water in another jar, gloves and enough q-tips to build the brooklin bridge and safty glasses. Expecting to spend the afternoon cleaning this cylinder. WOW, 1 q-tip and a thimble full of acid, 5 minutes and it's done. Sanded with sandpaper and looks really good. I think I will go ahead with a new piston, I agree it's cheap insurance.
My apologies for turning this into a tech forum, did not intend to do that. But you guys have been great support. Thank you.

That's why we are here man. We look at it this way. If we help you fix it we get another saw to run at the gtg.

I go through gallons of it stabilizing the pool when it's open. If you want, I can bring a gallon to work and you can come across the street and get some. :msp_wink:

You only have to breath the fumes once to know that you have to avoid them at all cost.:msp_scared: When I dump it in the pool, I'm on the run trying to avoid the cloud of fumes that always seems to chase me.

Splashing increases the fumes and the danger. Try pouring gently into the pool, you should have no trouble then. You could always just lower the container into the pool on a string, too. The chemicals will all mix on their own if you give 'em enough time.

Muriatic acid is heavier than water. Lower a jug into the water, turn it upside down, and it will pour into the pool even when it is under water. No splashing, no fumes.

That would take all the fun out of it. I like to pretend that I'm Jack Bauer saving the world from a deadly chemical attack.:cool2: I'd also have to start trimming my nose hair again

Hey Jim and Kenneth, there's a IEL/Pioneer RA that runs in the Kansas City Craigslist in Harrisonville if you have any interest. It would be mine if I was closer.

Morning Steve,Harrisonville is closer to you than me. I need to save my money for some wheeling and dealing at the Iowa gtg next weekend. I still haven't had a chance to check out all the saws I picked up in Carthage. Have you had a chance to check out the big Homie yet,that thing is a beast.

glad to hear your build is progressing. like kenneth said don't worry about derailing this thread. its already got bout 30 different tracks diverging anyways. plus, i'm always up to hearing about rebuilds. let's me experience a rebuild vicariously whilst mine are lolling about on the bench.
