Do you have any saws that have never had the cylinder off

[Basher]

Just a few PSP saws that have had really tough PSP lives. Piss revved many times in the shop without B/C, one has been photographed over 60 times, another had its builders sticker fade after its 25th polish. Totally abused one putting many new Japanese light bars on it for various pics, and tried over 15 full-synthetics oils in it too. These are not soft cookie cutters saws, their hardcore revved hard put away polished saws. One wore out a plug thread as it was compression tested 27 times in a week, a strong runner too tacking over 17k no b/c. This saw after it was built for PSP and has had a hard life I am sure its due for a rebuild ground up rebuild, just trying to find a new builder who's ready to take money. From reading others posts and running my psp's I am really qualified to answer anything chainsaw related and give advice to others. PSP aint easy ya get alot of bar oil spilled on ya pants and boots sometimes, I PSP just with my socks on.

What! No white gloves??

I haven't been into Fook Me (the DD 361 clone) yet, my Husky 51 that I bought new in '93, an 026, and an 024. Edit* and an 028

The 51 has never had a part replaced on it, not even a fuel line. Junk gas and oil, I guess

My 55 has never been touched either just two days ago my pull rope broke. 455 rancher still untouched also

Many farmers and folks I know have saws 10-20 years old that have never had the cylinders off, run on Stihl mineral oil often will little maintence. Us folks that like saws are a different breed and can't help ourselves buying broke saws to fix, fitting big bore cylinders & doing service repairs ourselves. OEM service repair & parts in OZ can be so pricey it don't make sense to pay to have a saw rebuilt. I learned this fact many years ago, bought a few saw tools slowly over time and just do my own repairs. The forum sites really helped me learn stuff and ensured I bought the right tools.

Poulan 4200 bought it new in 1978 my first saw. Equipped with a bow blade probably has maybe 40 hrs. on it.

Of my 45-50 I'd say only 10-12 maybe ever had the cylinders off .It takes a lot of run time to wear the rings out---if you use enough oil in the fuel mix----

 

[Al Smith]

However a few have had the cylinders off several times. Tweek a little,run it,tweek some more repeat .

Other than saws that were already broken/messed up when I got them, I've never taken the cylinder off one of my saws. I have an 026 that I've run for over 20 years and that has only had fuel lines replaced.

Now I will admit that the majority of the saws I own either were or are messed up so I've seen plenty of cylinders on the bench.
