Try a 50/50 mixture of acetone and atf.

Acetone? You recommended it, so it won't hurt anything? No reaction with alloys? I am no metal guy. Might have to Google that. I use ATF all the time, but in the bar oil hole.. Seems to keep the holes from plugging up.. Yup, I run used oil.. Even my wife is second hand

Steve, do I wait for the piston to free up? Don't want to do more harm, so I assume a BFH is out of the question.. Maybe some heat? Time heals all saws?

What I done was soaked it for a few days, making sure a had rust penetrate in the cylinder, after a few days I started slow putting pressure on it but working the crank back and foward til almost a week it moved. But I made sure I keep penetrate in the cylinder. PB blaster, Zep Preserve works great.

For carbon stuck, I use this. Works great for stick rings also.

I had a Titan RE twin cylinder that was stuck badly and a month of daily soaking the cylinder with PB blaster did nothing. Then I had read an article on one of the saw forums about the 50/50 mixture. I tried it and 24 hours later the pistons freed up nicely with no damage. The crankcase was painted inside and no paint suffered any damage. Take what you will from it, but I'm a believer.

ATF has a it of detergents in it,so I believe it. I'l run at in bar oil on a old saw for a bit to clean things out. Been known to put a qt. In a car or truck if they'e gunked up bad inside

I've done both atf and diesel fuel in a gummed up engine, cleans well.

ATF and Acetone works miracles, and doesn't hurt the metal (can't speak for the paint 100% of the time LOL), just don't get it on your hands. Doesn't feel all that good...

Any ideas on how to repair a worn carb/throttle shaft on a Tilly HS?
Edit: I'm thinking JB Weld? Can't find a new/different carb.

You obviously live up north where saws are used often to cut trees. I live in Mississippi. We have to hunt trees to cut. Usually ones already dropped. It’s relaxation for me. Cutting and splitting. I’m a recovery agent and it gets stressful. I have taught my daughter how to take frustration out on a log

I had best time in Mississippi.. Was riding from Miami to L. A. on the Harley and stopped for a beer and ended up going crawdad"n with the bayou boys.. I really do think one of the fellows name was AMOS MOSES. Budweiser and lies, with tall tales enough for all.. Good times, and oh so nice.. Tough to go in the swamp with people ya don't know..

So cool.. Didn't know if you caught my drift.. Thanks for the song.. Damn site easier playing it on the computer, than digging through about 4,000 vinyl looking for Jerry Reed, and the right album.. Cheers, K

The 26 ain't looking very promising.. Won't roll with the punches.. I'll load er up with oil in cylinder tonight and see what tomorrow brings

Try some heat to the outside of the cylinder.I got a 930 Jred that was seized solid,when i picked it i turned it over and water ran out the plug hole.I took it as a challenge to save at least the cylinder,i did.The piston is still usable as well.
I used "Honey Goo" and a Map gas torch.I would heat up the cylinder around where the rings were till i couldn't hold my hand on it and pry up on the cylinder.When i heard the first squeek i knew i could win. Never even broke a fin.Not much else that is usable,maybe the case halves.

I am real close to your advice.. I got kinda reluctant to heat it up to much.. I don't know why? I'd open up my old MAC 1-70 and the gas would be boiling in the tank..so there's really no reason why a little more heat won't hurt.. I do have it going up and down about oh 3/32 inch +/-. After 2:00 in the morning here so I dump more sh,sh,sh,stuff in it and let both it and me rest. Thanks for the input.. Everyone, thanks..
