A customer just dropped off an old WD80 with an AH81 motor. It belonged to his dad. He has no idea how long it’s been sitting, and he wants it back in running order so he can use it. I have not taken it apart yet, but I am wondering if anyone makes parts for these any more. The cylinder looks like it might have some scoring. I’m also curious about cleaning up/reshaping the ports. Common sense tells me that if the motor has good bearings, a little work on the ports would be a good thing. I don’t know what these old saws will take as far as rpm, so I’m asking to see if any of you know. The tag specifies 16:1 mix, how does this translate with modern oils?
