Measure the piston that just don't seem right that's a tun of slop makes me think someone put the wrong piston in it.Well it got pulled apart some more today. I took a few more pics
The markings on the cylinder for you Wes.

Shrink tubing is your friend.I could do with some help, as I don’t want to break any of the arctic wires. There’s two bit it I need fo feed throu casings plastic and mag. I will add the pics .
1st sorry it a bit blurry. Marked in red won’t go where the yellow line is broken (throu the case) how does this come a part

The connectors in blue, do I have to cut the covers (heat shrinks down on) to pull them apart...the yellow line is the wire/s that have to go throu the handle/tank housing. I need to take off the front handle. And the yellow line goes to it.

Yea the 12mm ones not the 10mm. . .Some 044's had steel gaskets, BTW.

I guess most saws that are 25yrs old and have had a hard life, do get butchered in some form or another
Well I did get the wires out of the handle, and it’s clean and degreased I guess the cases are next..
I’ve been thinking about getting the cases powder coated, I’ve no idea how much it would cost and if I were to get the cases done it would be silly not to do the 2 side covers.
Anyhow I was wondering if the cases were to power coated I would need to split and pull the crank. so would it be better to fit a 12mm or put the 10 back in , I know the cases would have the clearance issue.. and a bit of grinding I guess this could be done before it’s powdered.
What are the benefits of a 12 over a 10mm, I read that @Stump Shot was looking at putting a husky piston in a 440. I know I’m limited with the 10mm.
If I were to put a 12mm in. Then fit a husky piston in “288” iirc, what are the issues/differences. Could I run a base gasket if the pin to top of pistons is slightly different.
I know later if and when, I could hybrid it easily and only have swap the piston and jug etc, no splitting the case.
I'm just looking at a few options at the mo.
Thank you Stump shot... I’m at the planning stage right now. As I said I don’t want to have to redo splitting the cases, with what ever I do afterwards, I understand 12mm and 10mm cases equal less case volume, seems to make sense even if I just put the early jug back on. Less case vol and same intake vol equals a little more power ? With the almost ported oem jug..
I guess I will be looking at how much I want to put into this saw.
Edit; I don’t have machining availability. So I,m limited.
WOW. Someone got there use out of that. LolWell it got pulled apart some more today. I took a few more pics

Edited to mark up where piston hitting the crank, because of the excessive wear on the exhaust side. I didn’t notice this till after I posted the pic
