I have seen poor filtration cause the Nikasil to wear on the inlet side. It is damn tough but given enough fine wood chip dust through a dirty air filter and it will wear through in time. Funnily enough, the saw in mind was a 024 with a wire mesh air filter.

The black bit just under the left hand side of the port on your second picture looks like it has had chemical on it but the oxide is still present. This mark coincides with the most wear on the piston. The vertical score will lower compression, the high points will wear the piston and ring lowering compression. On this sort of repair, there should be no high bits or deep scores. The scores you may get away with if they are not too deep. All you can do is see how it goes from what you have. The engine will bed down and get better with use sothe best option is to stick some hours on it. If you persist in rubbing small areas of the cylinder, you are likely to cause very small cavities and that really will kill your compression and cause blow by on the ring! 140psi is a bit low on a 024 but it may just be your compression gauge.

I once serviced a blower for a customer. The rats had been chewing his primer bulb so supplied a bit of rat poison with the returned machine. I like to go the extra mile!!

It is an old way of cleaning loose stuff from small tanks. Think of rush on a motorbike fuel tank, that sort of thing....it removes the loose stuff.
-
I saw a vid on YouTube doing exactly this.

It is so the tuners can easily improve the performance😀

The oil tank state won't change anything and a tank full of nuts and white spirit will loosen up any loose paint rather than stripping it down. On the crankcases, they shouldn't need sealant and if the pressure and vacuum tests are good, the issue is elsewhere. Sometimes old saws can drive you mad like this. Generally, swapping out the carb resolves the issues like I probably stated earlier. These saws do wear their piston skirts so worth fitting a new piston if you haven't already. If that doesn't do it then their isn't much left to suggest.

Try L&S Engineering, they do Husky parts and generally get them in pretty quickly if not in stock.

I think the OP has pissed off in to the distance!

Assuming this is the 1139 machine with the limiters removed, from the screws fully in (don't over tighten), the H screw should be 1 1/2 turns out and the L screw 1 turn out. There have been a few incarnations of this machine but these settings should get it going assuming there is nothing seriously wrong with it.

Who is the supplier you purchased from?

It could be dried fuel oil mix leaving too much oil residue in the bore. Try it with the plug removed and if it spins over fine, spray a bit of WD40 in the bore to wash the oil out. Why does it need a new carb and coil? As others have said, if they are missing, it would be uneconomical to repair. Have you checked for a spark and cleaned and rebuilt the carb yet?

You lot are so harsh. The fella brought a tool to our attention that he had found useful, that I hadn't come across before (bar the sandblasting booth type) and best of all, it costs bugger all so a worthy tool to hang on the wall for that odd job that needs a good clean up. Mine arrived today and I have a job for it already. It will be interesting to see how it goes and can see it getting a bit of use over the next few years.
-
so it was the typical old oil in the bore or a bit of hydro lock. Glad it is fixed and running.
-
Now that sounds like a decent offer!
-
Same here, for £10, if I use it once, it will be worth it.

If this woodpecker saw you from day 1 then birds then relate to that person as its parent....sounds weird but we have done a bit of bird of prey flying and that is how the birds view their handlers if they have been reared from an incubator. I think it is known as imprinting and is pretty much impossible to reverse. I hope the little fella makes it out there otherwise you may have a woodpecker to rear for a few years....not sure how long they live for.
-
That looks pretty good for a cheapo bit of kit.

I do know Martin, had a bit of a fall out a long time ago but don't think he is actually dishonest. I know he goes go away sometimes so perhaps this has happened. How did you deliver and pickup the saws...home address or courier? -
Sometimes you can go through a stressful period and survive it but when the stress is removed....like completion and moving in to the new house, the fact it is over can change your mental status quo which was highly strung and stressed. Try getting some house projects going...new shed, decorating, veggie patch, new kitchen/bathroom and you will find the design, planning and doing will stop your brain from stressing. Other than that, get in to your head the reasons you should be happy with your lot rather than dwelling on the shyte...be a half glass full kind of guy rather than the other type.

I think you will get a good return on AirBnB and Booking.com, these sites have good coverage so anyone looking for a place to stay in your area will find you and likely to pay a decent amount for the room. Much depends if you are looking for a lodger or many just dipping in and out over a period of time. If you are doing the washing and cleaning etc then the longer weekly rentals are easier than 1-2 nights and a lodger may not pay as much but would probably look after the washing and cleaning a daily or weekly rental wouldn't. Good luck in your venture, it is a good way to reduce your operating costs and shortening the mortgage payback, just make sure your insurance is aware of what you are doing.

It was the only way to get away from those oily noisy things!! Not done too much networking round my neck of the woods yet but no doubt I can find someone to drop off a load of chip.

I have use two and three leg cylinder hones. Yo have to be careful not to catch an open transfer or ports but you can get a good finish and one hone will do all chainsaw bore sizes unlike the ball hones although they are probably better but much more expensive. Don't use the hone to remove the transfer, use chemical and localised rubbing and follow through with the hone to break the glaze and give a good rough surface to bed the new piston in.

Not pigeons or sparrows is it, I have seen the latter shred lettuce....grrr
-
I think it is as good...or bad as some of the other crap that appears on this site now. Congratulations on the new home eggs, hope it is going well.
