Little background; I purchased this saw for my business in April 2014 and it ran with a couple problems along the way till October 2016 at which point it failed in the middle of a job. I took a look at it that afternoon and diagnosed a failed flywheel bearing. There was flywheel coil contact but the saw was still running when shut down for the last time. Knowing the saw was toasty I ended up buying another 241 and putting this on the shelf.
Well I have some bench space and some time so I pulled the saw apart to see all the damage and put a parts list together.
When you look at the flywheel bearing you can see the retainer has disintegrated and ended up in the saw. If you look at the cylinder pic you can see something hit the lip and chipped/damaged plating in two spots.
Looks like that stuff got up in the skirt and scratched the piston and to a lesser extent the cylinder on the intake side.
I went into the cylinder with some scotchbrite to expose the cylinder scratches a little better.
They look light and don't seem to extend above the lower intake ports. So cylinder reuse looks ok.
Anyone know the cost of an OEM piston? I have seen the UK pounds price . I can check tomorrow on that price.
And AM pistons seem limited to Golf; the little red barn one looks to me to be a repackaged Golf. HLS has them for $14.99.
Seals, Bearings, Piston, Hand guard which is badly cracked, sprocket time to replace, all on the assumption the flywheel and coil will work as is.
