Seizure on echo CS-350 WES. Time to bin it ?

[dirtybiker]

I picked this second hand saw a while back sold with minor issues so thought I'd give it a punt.

Finally got round to totally stripping it today and found that it has had a exhaust side seizure. The piston/ring is toast. No dramas

My questions are can the cyclinder be saved or is it time for the bin.

I've just got a new Dolmar 420 from 'Shavey' so I don't need it but would like to keep this Echo if it economically viable. But don't want to throw good money after bad.

What do you think. Can it the cyclinder be honed out or are they plated internally and honing a no no?

Another piccy

And the piston!

Doesn't look good buddy hard to tell from the pictures but if it needs a cylinder is it worth it? Why did it go in the first place? Neat fuel, air leak... I'm rebuilding a 064 at the moment, got it cheap enough to chuck a few notes at it:biggrin:

Yeah, the piston is defo for the bin but was hoping the cylinder was salvageable !

Try it 1200 wet and dry and wd40 and a few hours

Use acid to dissolve the aluminium deposit on the cylinder. Look at spuds what's on your bench thread for instructions on how to do it. Must be a vid on YouTube shows you as well

You could wipe your @r$e on 1200, get some 240

Hello mate, don't use abrasive paper on it yet, talk to spud or look at the thread mentioned earlier, as it is best cleaned chemicaly, at least to start with.
