Mike,
Start with some shots of the piston and cylinder. Its an easy saw to put back together. let me know if you don't find the IPL/SM. I can get one if needed.
we need to find out what happened to the saw before we/YOU rebuild it.
start with ordering Stihl PN 5910 890 2415 its the long handle T27 wrench. I think it was $10 from stihl.
Assuming that's the new piston already mounted ? That's the hard part....everything else is duck soup.
That cylinder is the new or old one?
Oh and I want that dern thing cleaned off before I start working on it...(which is a good thing to do before ANYthing comes off...especially the P/C.
K. Just looking to see what may have happened. Looks like the incriminating evidence has been disposed of. I'd remove the crank and seals. Inspect all bearings closely for missing parts. Replace the sealsIt is the only cylinder, and as far as I know the New one...
Purrfect...just don't let it "soak" fr too long. Most of the crud will come off with a blast off the compressor hose line.Agreed.
409 and or that Purple Cleaner work, or do I need something specific?
Air compressor and a blow gun if possible but those and a rag will workAgreed.

At least our answers match lol. I'm gonna go cook supperPurrfect...just don't let it "soak" fr too long. Most of the crud will come off with a blast off the compressor hose line.
Cover over the case with a rag so nothing gets in.
We better agree...it looks like we're gonna finish this saw up together !!!!At least our answers match lol. I'm gonna go cook supper
Which one is the crank? And ummm how do I know if there is a missing part?

Keep taking pictures as you go. Keep asking questions and we will walk you through. This ain't our first Rodeo....
Can I get a shot of the chain...I'm looking for "reasons it blew up"
ok.Lol, it is the 20" b/c I have been using on my 661 (the 661 in my profile pic), I was cutting a 5' oak and a 4' maple, into rather small pieces and was told the saw overhead or something. ..... all this happened over a year ago.
