So I bought a Jonsered 2171 with broken cases. The saw is acutally in really rough shape but there are some usable parts on it.
I would like to give porting a go and was hoping to use the cylinder of this saw. It actually looks decent but I saw some small spots in the plating. On the intake side I can feel it ever so slightly, is this something to be worried about? And caused because of fines getting through the carb?

Just could not let this sit in a bucket. Saw has less than and hour run time and owner did not want to put more money into it, just purchased another 592 to replace it. Sent @srcarr52 cracked flywheel side half case for repair, should be back first of this week. Ordered gaskets, aluminum case bolts (manual says not to reuse, do not understand torque to spec, then turn 90 degrees, why not just have a torque spec?), new top handle and clutch cover. Guts look very nice, may have to order a new fuel tank, tried welding it and using Locktite hdpe sealant (will see).
Not a cheap repair, but WTH.

Some of you may have felt a shift in the force, I did. Tree service friend was having a hard time finding 540's at local dealer (needed one quick), so someone said (maybe me) try a MS201, saw one in Grayling Ace. He purchased one and I repaired it next day after his climber slammed it into tree, DAMN now he owns two of them. Think his 540 days are now over. What have I done!!!!!

If it was mine, I would say use it. But, I am not a porting person (they will be along), have used cylinders with light vertical marks without a problem. If selling it, I would replace them, but to me yours does not look bad, just clean it up or start porting.

I have a super used 5200 poulan with a similar pock maked cylinder and it runs very well, those Poulan cylinders are pretty much nonexistent so I run it as is, but it runs well.
With a plethora of Jonsred and husqvarna cylinders out there you could pick up one easily and cheap .

Thanks for your replies, sadly in Europe even second hand parts are not that common. A new OEM 50mm cylinder kit costs around USD 400. I think I will just run this one, since it's just a hobby and I don't run it on a daily basis.

I’ll never by another echo with a non-adjustable carburetor and a cat-muffler. If I lived next door to BillG this thing would have been singing before lunch. Won’t hardly run and gets real hot. I suck at this:

I’m ready to throw it in the trash. Like I said, I suck at this:

On what planet is this a good idea? Exhaust about the size of a nickel slot!!!

 

[RI Chevy]

Those cataytic mufflers are terrible.

390 needed the chain ground, 461 needed a p/v test, turns out it had a leaky decomp so I'll be ordering a new one shortly.

I got tired of bolting and unbolting the mulch plate on my deck. I made this out of the plate and deflector housing. I should really have it powder coated

Is that a WaterBong over the bye that...
I'm just kidding Dan!








I used to make custom audio cables for a living & would take pics of the finished cables.
Had a tall empty Olive jar with a ink pin in it & someone asked me if it was a waterbong. Hehehe.

People will be searching that photo now! Lol!

I have this stock 372 with just a pop up and muffler mod and it one of the last of my saws that I haven't ported so tomorrow it's getting a port job.
