What's on your bench today?

[Will Heal]

Oh dear, that means splinting the crank case? Not sure if the saw is worth that. Needs a lot of other parts too

[Will Heal]

Nope. Cylinder is fine no damage that I can see

[adw]

Yes split the crankcase, a couple of 6202 bearings and a gasket set, new piston, or cylinder as well if there are grooves up the transfer ports of the bore, air filter looks like death.

[Will Heal]

Needs a new chainbrake mechanism, a starter pawl, new plug cap and lead, the list goes on

[adw]

Time for a shiny new one then, keep the old one for parts, many will fit the later 372.

[Will Heal]

Thanks adw, that might be the best way

That damage looks like circlip damage. Is that piston aftermarket and has the circlip on the other side of the piston got two legs on it as I would say one has broken off the damaged side and wreaked havoc!

 

Quite often it dings the transfers but you often get away with little damage elsewhere. You can grind these dings out if you know what you are up to. Just done a Makita 7190 like that - most would have written it off:001_rolleyes:

Circlip looks like the standard oem, depending on the year of this saw they have a slight history with main bearings!

[Will Heal]

No it's the original piston. I've never taken this saw to bits, I have never even been near it with a tuning screwdriver! Just looked at the opposite circlip and its the same

Had Will's Jonsered exercise machine on the bench, I guess he likes pulling that handle as he had connected the impulse line to the fuel connection and vice versa with the fuel line:sneaky2:

 

Reconnected correctly, tested the fuel line and pulled the clutch as there is no clutch drum fitted - probably a good thing he didn't manage to start it as it would have taken out the brake band:001_rolleyes:

 

Fired second pull and ran on the fifth, all seems OK:thumbup:

 

Oh - got interrupted half way through - had to shoot a rat in the back garden - another one bites the dust!!
