Husqvarna 2100 thread

I just picked one of these up myself. It is not nearly as nice as the ones you guys have though.

They don't have to be nice to run good!! I think you'll like it!!

 

[Mark71gtx]

Mine is not nice, nor does it run good. I saw the piston looked a bit rough so I pulled the jug. Cylinder is missing a lot of plating (like 20%...) I went ahead and tore it all down last night. Now the cylinder search begins...

 

[Frank bierce]

Ouch. That's a bummer. Cylinders are not super easy to come by

 

[Frank bierce]

Might be able to find something from rupedoggy

Is it missing or does it look uneven? All three 2100 cylinders I have here look uneven. If it is smooth I would say it is fine. Get ahold of a machinist or millwright and measure the bore for peace of mind.

All 2100s pretty well start off looking rough these days. Both of mine were well worn a few months ago and needed a lot of TLC. Trust me it's been worth it!

Mark drop @how57 a note also. He may have a line on one.

 

[Redfin]

Where is it missing plating?

 

[Mark71gtx]

There is also a pretty nasty ridge toward the top of the jug. It is like the piston has been running crooked in the bore. The fins are broken like someone snapped them off to get the cylinder bolt out of the back left of the cylinder with an Allen wrench using the short end.

Guy said saw was rebuilt two years ago. It has been worked on for certain. Someone sealed the case up with red RTV.... I'll probably replace the cases too. I see a lot of JB Weld at the lower handle mount and the housing is cracked by the back of the recoil. Crank is good, lol!

 

[Redfin]

Yeah thats no bueano.

 

[Mark71gtx]

Yeah, looks like a hammered dog turd...

If you can't get a cylinder I looked into getting one plated a while ago. Expensive but I'm sure it would be like brand new. If you had Bernard do it they may even repair the damaged cooling fins.

 

[T.Roller]

Maybe one day mine will run.

 

[Mark71gtx]

I don't foresee spending more on it than I could buy a runner for. If I take my time, something will pop up. I would love to source all of the parts and have it running next week, but it is not likely to happen.

Salvaging a cylinder has came up before .You might get it replated or perhaps another method of which I have a theory which might work .

A lot of if's here .If you could over bore it by say 15 thou and press a sleeve about 20-25 thou undersized internal then bore it to size then using a previous made port map template to cut the ports it might work .It's a blind end cylinder once you heat shrink a liner in it the only way to remove it is bore it back out . Trying to press a very thin sleeve would probably warp or break as well as attempting a liner with the ports already cut out .

It's not a method many would even attempt but it might work .Then again you'd have to have access to the machinery to do the job as well as the knowledge of how to do it.Even having all the previous it would be a very tedious and time consuming task to say the least .

I just hope to find a cylinder. I do have access to a lathe, milling machine, and a whole fabrication shop full of tools and steel though. I just don't see boring and lining the cylinder as an option for me. I would have less headache hunting a suitable replacement, or so I hope...

If you can't find one, check out US Chrome. They might do it, I believe Shawn has had some done by them

 

[Marshy]

Last time I talked to US Chrome it was $200 or 250 per hole for plating and more if welding was needed. That was on snowmobile cylinders. I can't imagine trying to weld on a chainsaw cylinder, there's just not slot of room even on a big 2100. It would be worth a call to them and ask. The other option would be to buy a running saw for $400 if you can find one.

 

[Al Smith]

There might be other options .For example some chainsaws shared parts with cut-off and rail saws. What those would or could be for a 2100 Husky I have no idea as I certainly am no expert on Husqvarna . The again by being patient on things like this eventually the parts will come along .
