Second restoration of many onhand

[Bensmobileservice]

My very first chainsaw was about a month ago that I had grabbed out of a huge metal recycling pile. There was a total of two that I acquired for free, I was intrigued to see if I could make them work again. To no Surprise both of them run awesome, the first one was the David Bradley 917, it used to have the 748 g sticker on it prior to me cleaning it to see if I could get it to run again. I know I know, a newbie move on my part, but anyways the saw should not have even run based on how bad the cylinder and piston was, I honed the cylinder, took out the sharp edges from the grooves on the piston and to my surprise it runs pretty damn good, not all said, here are a couple of pictures.

Just acquired two 355's, bought these knowing that they were seized. I'm lucky with the first one I checked. Only the starter was seized and after I removed the exhaust, this is what I saw. Looks like the bottom ring is broken, piston has very little scoring, may have been caused by me when I checked for movement. I'll post more on this as I go through it. This saw will CUT AGAIN.
