Nothing wrong with it running like it is. If throwing a chain ruins it, can always replace it then
Lol kinda where I was going. There’s not enough chaff for it to be green cut elm
In the 90s and 2000s saws, that clutch cover fits 026-660. Usually the 1127 clutch covers are plastic. Yours is probably from an 034 and possibly...
The splits look a lot more like ash now
I’ve run a few of them. I didn’t notice vibrations anymore than any other saw of the era. They aren’t fast but if you don’t abuse it I think they...
It’s easier to mount the boot, carb, and elbow to the cylinder before installing the cylinder
The rwj boot needs to slip into the carb and it’s easy for it to not line up correctly. Also, there are buttons on the filter elbow that help...
Thank you all very much

Pre xtorq 365 = open port 48mm (semi pro version) 365 special = closed port 48mm (pro version) 371 and 2 = 50mm closed port (pro) 372xpw = 51.4mm...

The carbon is normal for some oils. Only thing wrong it looks like is the vertical streak below the exhaust port
And don’t ruin the rubber o rings. The only way to acquire them is find someone that has a spare used set or buy a new cylinder. They aren’t...
It’s easier to cast the cylinder with removable covers. Smear some sealant on the rubber O-ring when you put them back on or there’s a good chance...
It’s a classic though and in very good shape if the insides look similar
Don’t be leaving out the rhombus, trapezoid, parallelogram, and circle shaped pieces. They’ll burn too
Depends on how big of a hack the last guy was as to the parts you’ll need to do it right. He probably converted everything over, but may have used...
Stroke and bore are the same, but that’s a POS aftermarket cylinder that they put on it. I believe OEM for these is about the same price as Meteor
Might better leave it as a 365 special. Or put a 372 xp kit on it. The xtorq is an epa requirement for emissions. The original 372 was a better saw
