Stihl or Hyway engine engine

[Perritonegro]

Hi community. This is my post. I moved to the forest a few years ago, and have become more scheduled to using a chainsaw. I have an 029 that ran loan and burnt up, so the dealer tells me. I used to be a cat mechanic, do I can fix a lot of things. He's my 2 part question. Should I buy a new Hyway 039 motor, or a used but complete 029 motor? Cost is the same on both units. Guy says a tree had fallen on it, but it should still run fine.

OR

Should I hone my existing burnt cylinder, and but a new piston and rings and rebuild mine?

if all you curren cylinder needs is honed id do it if you have the tools and skills. Set it aside with a spare piston and rings that you can get at some point.

Any pictures of the cylinder or piston from the used saw your considering ? Maybe at the worst it can be honed too and then you have 2.

I don't know anything about aftermarket HyWay cylinder kits but i do know kevin wont warranty work on them so to me thats all i need to know about them.
