Bravo sir, Bravo. very nice refurbishing effort and making parts to fit and repair broken parts. Amazing when a chainsaw has the power and a new chain on it how well it cuts. I enjoy cutting with such a chainsaw! Thumbs Up!
Chainsaw cylinders are chrome or nikasil plated. When you honed it, you ruined an already ruined cylinder. I bet it didn't run 30 minutes. Good effort, though.
You see there’s a thing called a hobby and when you’re passionate about a hobby, you don’t care too much about the resale value or how much it costs to rebuild it.
