Seized Husqvarna 254xp
Hi im not in the trade and just use the above saw for chopping firewood. It however appears to have seized.
I was wondering how much it would set me back to buy a new (not genuine) cylinder and piston or whether I would be better getting someone to bore the old cylinder. I know its an old machine but cant afford a new one.
If I buy a new cylinder and piston is it an easy job! I'm pretty handy with spanners but will it need tuning.
Does anyone want the job? Spud u like are you interested?

Thanks for all the advice guys, it is definitely seized, The local dealers have confirmed this too.
I think its seized due to either old fuel or poorly mixed fuel, was starting to struggle and stupidly I carried on until it cut out (not having a clue it would seize).
The shop said it would need a new cyclinder but quoted for a new husky one.
I would really like to get it fixed, I haven't stripped it down but could do that, how easy is it to fit a new cylinder and piston?
