Have you checked the bar rails are level and not splayed and the end sprocket is free running with no play? Is the rim drive in decent condition.

Perhaps trying a new bar, chain and rim drive or at least one of another saw may give further info.

Good luck getting the new seals back in, they are fiddly little feckers and bloody expensive.

Is the flywheel all there? Missing fins? Or a lump of something wedged between the fins?

 

Is there slop in the wrist (knuckle?) needle bearing/s that connect the piston with the crank?

 

Are the antivibe mounts all in working order?

Haironyourchest,  In reply to your questions.....The flywheel is all intact with no missing fins to cause an imbalance. There was no play in the big or little end of the con rod. I have been able to rebuild the saw tonight, and she fired up a treat with no vibrations as expected. It will be weekend before I can try her in some wood. The only difference , is that I have also replaced the deflection limiter bushing which was worn. My theory with that was if excessive travel was causing the AV springs (all intact) to allow the two dampened assemblies to contact each other  when in the cut i.e pulling up on the rear handle and pressing down on the front handlebar. I will update this weekend ......Rgds, Med
