So I decided to rescue this little 024 AV from the junk pile at my local dealer's shop. That's right, this is my first Stihl! (What's the world coming to!!) Lol!! Just kidding around...
Anyway, it's mostly complete, very dirty and probably needs an overhaul. I haven't yet even pulled the muffler to have a look at the piston. I hope the cylinder is salvageable as I hear Stihl cylinder kits are pricey. I paid $50 for it which I don't think is too bad for a mostly complete builder. I chose this little Stihl as it seems like the most direct and period correct competitor to the Husky 242 I recently brought back to life from the same junk pile. Also, I've been a little bit tickled by the small pro saws lately. I just missed a very clean looking Husky 234 SE for sale on FB for 75 bucks!
But enough about the Huskies for now. I just wanted to show you guys the next little bugger to be brought back to life on the bench. I don't plan on starting this build for a few months. Going to be busy with wood, vacations and deer hunting season before saw shop time resumes. Until then I might grab a part here and there that I know it needs of something comes up. But I won't be actively pursuing anything really.
So without further adue, here it is. Looks like it will clean up pretty good.
