I guess if I included this too, it would help visual learners like me! #4 is the reed valve seat and #5 is the reed valve, mounts inline with the carb and crankcase. Makes more sense now!

I think a 288 carb will also work, I had an aftermarket one I gave to @Sloughfoot for his 2100, can't remember if he was able to use it on his or not.

It's possible that he might have loaned the saw out and someone else boogered it up. Looks like it might have been on of those where someone fired it up and immediately put it in wood without letting it warm up and the piston expanded faster than the cylinder.

Looks like the fuel goes through the carb to #17 (Crankcase) and then drops into the crankcase and gets pumped into the cylinder through the transfers and then exhausts from there.

Yes, worth repairing! If you pull the cylinder off and check, you might be surprised, there might be minimal damage if any on the cylinder wall and then it would be just clean up and piston swap. Depending on the age of the saw or where/how it was stored, there might be an air leak, so might be...

Yes, I agree...XL12 or Super XL - should be 46mm. I have a Super XL, but have not taken it apart yet....that would have thrown me not having a dedicated intake and exhaust ports 🤣

Welcome to the forum. I think I tried that website one time and ran into issues too. @ray benson @atpchas Do either of you have the 08S manuals that Buzzz is looking for?

Beautiful saw!!

Ohhhhh, a front window piston, don't see those very often!!

I did not pay attention to that I guess, I do know that my 261 takes the full size sprocket (change the .325 to a 3/8 on it) but I guess that is a difference between the older ones and the newer ones. Or maybe I changed out the drum on the 026 with a newer one that uses the full size rim. I...

I believe so, I've worked on a couple of 026's and they had 3/8 chain on them.

Port it!!!!!

I had coworkers that would really wrench down when punching out rivets and would destroy those punches, most of the time the link slipped and they ended up hitting the harder metal. Here, slow, steady and right in the middle of the rivet is the way to go, not only to save the punch but also to...

Welcome to the forum!! I have not worked on the 056, though I have worked on an 031AV and 075AV (same form factor), both of them had been converted to electronic ignition. Both of them were in rough shape and I ended up splitting the cases on both, replacing the bearings and cleaning and...

They look pretty close to what I have (Stihl), I am assuming you don't have those to measure. Might be worth spending a few bucks more to try some...
