I got the crank & piston for the PM55 today.I can't even feel the scratches with my fingernail.I'm wondering if I can clean it up with emery cloth & it'd be good to go.Supposedly it came out of a running saw.

I contacted the seller & he said there's no blue to the conn rod,the keyway slot looks good,& the bearings have "normal slop".I'm not afraid to change the bearings if need be,I have a bearing puller & have used it to pull bearings on a 600 series saw.The thing I worry about is changing the conn...

I took a look at this crank & piston,& the piston is pretty well shot - it's got some deep scoring to it.You might say "change the piston",easier said than done with me.My vise is broken,so I can't press the wrist pins out & in.

I didn't find the short block for the 10-10 today,but I have a couple other places to look.The crank on feebay (according to the seller) is keyed at both ends,so that one won't work.I think this saw will be a winter project,if I even decide to do it).

Mark,according to the IPLs I have,the PM10-10 & the PM55 take the same crankshaft,part # 87699 for both.I've got a 10-10 short block sitting around,but I don't know what it came out of.I'll have to look in the a.m.I did find a partial short block from a PM 10-10 on feebay for $13 + shipping.I'll...

I've got a PM55 that had an accident back in April.The saw fell off a shelf & broke the rear handle off.I swapped out the tank handle back in June & found that it needed a crank seal.The saw sat till today & I put a new crank seal in it,but found that the keyway on the crank is wallowed out.I...

Seems to me you got it running ok Scott?

Would you be willing to split them up?I'm interested in the 510.Let me know how much for it if you'll sell seperately.Thanks!

I finished up on my latest PM 10-10 today.I went to take the old fuel line off the carb & it broke in half just by putting a pliers on it.I guess that's why it had fuel in the air box.I tried one of those ProLine fuel lines & filter & it seemed to fit snugly in through the tank.The saw fired...

I wouldn't trust any Pro Line products.Case in point - my brother has a Stihl MS290 & he had a brand new Pro Line ignition module put in it after he had the saw rebuilt.He cut about 3-4 wheelbarrows of wood & the coil took a dump.He had to have the original coil put back on & the saw runs fine...

I had a problem with my most recent PM 10-10 where after I let it set overnight it wouldn't start unless I primed it in the plug hole.After that it'd run all day if I let it & if I shut it off it'd restart.Yesterday I put some Seafoam in the fuel & ran the saw for about 5-10 minutes.I went out...

Are you sure it's the tank gasket & not the fuel line?I have a leak in my PM 10-10 & plan on replacing the fuel line first.

I got this latest PM 10-10 last weekend.The recoil was seized on it so I took it apart & cleaned it up the best I could.It'll only pull out about a foot,which is not aceptable.I ended up putting another recoil on it "just to check for spark".The saw fiored,so I checked the fuel filter & it...

I had a bit of a conundrum with a 10-10S clutch issue over the last coupler days.My son took the saw out last week to cut an oak that had fallen into the farmer's field,& when he put the chain to the log it stopped.That told me there was a clutch issue.I pulled the clutch & put on one that I got...

How long are the bar & chain?
