Oh my........'nuther chuckle head forgot to put oil in his gas......crank and crankcase is dryer than a pop corn faaaht....no oil to be seen or felt. Minor scoring, she wouldn't turn over by the pull cord....had to tap the piston down with a brass drift and hammer to get the cyl off. I think I can save the cyl but a new piston is pretty much necessary....to bad this one still had pretty strong machine marks stihl showing. To bad this is a real nice low hour 621, new Total bar and Oregon chain etc......have to see how deep his pockets are...and if he even wants to fix it....I 'spect he will....

Yep........to bad....and the guy is really anal about looking after his tools....he's had it for years and it's in unusually good condition....or was..LOL!!!
No need to go looking for an air/vac leak.......this is what came out of the full tank of fuel......

But he put the oil in the tank.

 

[Cantdog]

But he put the oil in the tank.

Yeah I don't know where he put the oil but I do know where he didn't put it!!!! LOL!!

 

[stihl023/5]

I put oil in the wrong tank, gas too. My little backwards echo.
Lol

 

[pioneerguy600]

Yeah I don't know where he put the oil but I do know where he didn't put it!!!! LOL!!

Other tank, 1 says oil, other says gas, ya mean ya mix the two, thought the saw did that automatically!

 

[pioneerguy600]

i have two saws in my herd that were straight gassed first tank, on startup. Got them cheap.Have fixed several others that were straight gassed first tank or first few tanks, it happens they tell me.

 

[Cantdog]

Got the "go ahead" on fixing it. Have a couple NOS pistons but not inclined to part with them though this saw would be worth it. Getting hard to come by new......none to be found at the regular places. Though I did find chainswr.com has no name aftermarket piston kits for $19.95......I'll pass.... Brian Plust has a decent looking used one for $30.00 or so. I always do good with Brian, guess I'll order that and a new set of Cabers from Northland and get Stevie's 621 back in operation. Perhaps keep an eye out for a NOS one on ebay…..they do come up from time to time....easy enough to change out later if this used one seems a little loose.

As the saws get older so do the parts become more scarce to repair them with. We hoarders or as I like to think of it as holders of NLA parts for aging machines become the only source. Where would one find pistons for a Pioneer Super II or Titan 200, IEL AB and so on if not for the holders of these parts.

True...….I try and acquire lots of NOS parts when I can...….I end up with some real treasures but also have a pile of useless to me parts at the same tyme…...other brands of saw and trimmer parts most of which I have not a clue what they go to...but that's was how they were offered and I wanted the parts that I could identify as going to the stuff I hoa…….er…...collect.....

I have about as many unknown what they fit parts as parts I know where they go/fit, sometimes the parts lot contain a lot of unknowns but one has to take it all to get what ya want. Some are diamonds and some are stones. Buying out leftover inventories from closing out dealers will snag ya a menagerie of good junk....LOL
