I keep bigging reps to find someone to hook me up with one. They are available in Latin America but I dont know if mexico is counted in that market, even then a road trip to mexico right now is a little too sketchy for my tastes.
Loose cylinder bolts couldn't possibly cause it to go lean lol. Excited to see what you're able to do with it👍🏻 Japan seems like a pretty awesome place to visit!
Why do you think it couldn't cause it to go lean? It 100%, without question, could absolutely cause it to go lean. It is the quintessential air leak. The perfect air leak, if you will. No different than a crank seal leak or a case seal leak, or transfer cap leak, or intake boot leak. Maybe you are caught up in the idea that it would never run if the cylinder was loose. I personally have never seen it, but have talked with many who have, including the gentleman who owned this particular saw. Said he noticed the cylinder shaking. By that time, the damage was probably already done, so after he tightened it up, it never ran again. What I believe happens is the bolts loosen, but the gasket is sticky sort of and is still making the seal for a while. Then as you continue to operate the saw, the bolts get more and more loose and the gasket can't maintain the seal. An air leak forms, it starts running funny, you look down and see the cylinder vibrating a little bit.
@@novicelumberjack sorry, I was being sarcastic. But as you've said, sometimes things can't be conveyed through typing like they can when having a face to face conversation. I'm in 100% agreement with you on the cylinder bolts loosening being the demise of that piston👍🏻 excited to see if the cylinder is salvageable!
I've had a few do this too. Pretty much all were stihl, a ms361 and a 034, pretty wild when the chain takes off backwards. Luckily rhey dimt run well at all backwards 😂
