Bearings and seals will be no problem as they are still used on the K1270, pretty sure there will be an Oregon sprocket available for it or the 2100/2101/298, the crankcase gasket may be an issue but could always be made as was not very complicated.

I printed off all the exploded diagrams with part codes for it. Partstree website. Cross referencing these they can be found, as you said on all sorts of machines. Disc cutters brush cutters etc. many thanks for pointing me down this route.

Now just in case your bored with the tv 

I’m doing a full rebuild on YouTube. Get your Yorkshire dictionary out though.

Any thoughts on a tank vent? Can’t get an original one obviously.

No idea on how these saws specifically are setup but on an 038 it is literally just a piece of fuel hose routed from the top left hand side of the tank out to the gap between handle and crankcase, no flow restriction which is fine as it isn’t being tilted onto that side due to no full wrap and with the saw running there’s enough suction.

could always put a standard tank vent for a dirtbike/2 stroke rc car etc on

the 65 has a similar setup.

Only time I ever had a problem was when it somehow fell over in the car, or luckily in the pickup bed. One way bent like this :Tank vent would solve that
