Well, I don't come to the Chainsaw forum hardly at all, but I'm glad I did. I'll take a few tickets, (Signed in as Josh Peterson) and when my name is drawn three times, I'll generously take only two prizes.

Get well soon, Scott!

Put me in this Monkey business...I'll offer the same three choice options as Hoskvarnas' raffle...your choice...New Fiskars X27, new Fiskars X25, or new Logrite 30" Hookaroon.

Sarah, please update when you get a chance and add my choices if you would. Thank you.

Will sling some jingle to the donate site here shortly. I'm kinda behind the power curve coming off a 2 week sentence to ban camp, making big rocks into little rocks. Is what it is fellers.

Cleaned up couple plugs while I was playin . LOLView attachment 506044 View attachment 506045 View attachment 506046 View attachment 506045 View attachment 506044 View attachment 506046

Ok, I poked my nose into some metallurgy stuff, closest I found was something called cavitation fatigue.
http://slideplayer.com/slide/3442076/ Should be slide 19.

I'm not really sure what the hell you can do about it, because once you get erosion down to a certain point, it's just a spiderweb of defects waiting to shatter.
If you grind down an area flat and stain it, you are REALLY not gonna like what you see.

Only references I found as to repairs were vacuum impregnation, and nano-ceramic coating. A little too Jimmy Neutron for this crowd. Maybe roust up someone who's good at repairing magnesium or aluminum rims.

Smear some epoxy in there?

 

[Philbert]

Which saw is this?

Smear some epoxy in there?

Maybe, the 4 wheelers guys crack open their crankcases a bit, and use something like Tra-Bond 2122, or Six10 epoxy for repairs. Biggest consideration would be, will any repair "fail safe", or relatively safe. If a bunch of fuel oil mix blows out the bottom of a crankcase, I don't suppose it's the end of the world. Unless you're in the middle of a forest fire. Having the crank and the piston shoot out at some random direction when going a full 10k rpms, that'd be just a BIT more exciting.

Don't really think the bottom end of the crankcase does much in the way of load bearing. Trying to visualize where the load stress would go from the chain, and then back. Nope, no caffeine going. Not a clue.

 

[Definitive Dave]

This saw will eventually be sold to somebody to use, the pics look more gruesome on the computer than on my phone, I am gonna send John a freshly powdered crankcase to use.
