When I picked up the saw, it was missing the recoil start assembly and the piston and cylinder were borked as you saw with the piston above. The agreed-upon terms included repairing the original, sexy cylinder. It's an early 'D' with gorgeous timing. It was to receive a port job. The PTO side bearing and seal were trashed, so I was to receive brand new oem bearings and seals. All rubber bits were gone through, the carb rebuilt. New aftermarket piston and rings.
He replaced the missing start assembly, and replaced the melty plastics on it, which were greatly appreciated.
