I just found the exact same thing inside a 2100xp that I just got.....I touched up the imperfection with my rotary tool.....put it back together and it runs like a champ. Compression for days. Thanks for the timely content Tinman!
Great video. Next time I get a stuck flywheel, I’m going to try this hack. People are heating things up. Then they use a crayon and melt into a cavity.
I have a pair if old German saws which stopped running, one of them got a burr in the cylinder which scratched it and it got stuck. Now I'm wondering if I can fix the issue with a cylinder hone, or if the saw is scrap now. I can't buy new cylinders for them, because nobody still makes them. Maybe I can just make new cylinders for it from billet, but with a hardened chrome-moly steel sleeve insert...
If the plating is not going to chip any further, couldn't you get away with just lightly smoothing out the edges of the chip without reprofiling the port.
Don't these have a tonne of compression and no decomp making them really hard to pull over? Maybe taking some off the exhaust roof wouldn't be such a bad thing idk.
Question I have a 500i that I thought was chipped plating but I can’t feel it someone told me you had mentioned that you can get transfer from the piston is that true and how bad is it to run like that runability seems fine it’s one small small spot

Great breakdown! I've saved a couple with chipped plating.

Knowledge is everything thanks tinman!❤
Another great video Tinman. Very informative.
Awesome explanation thank you Sir!
Nice 181! Those BCfirefighting saws were fun when I started with fire. Keep well TM.
Cheers
Hey buddy so good to see you here!!!!
Good question and a good video!

I don't have a lathe, but I got a belt sander! hahaha
Cool! TC Mahalo Tinman 🤙🤙🤙

Thanks 👍
Big chamfer follow up with sandpaper and scotch brite to blend and smooth. I think it can be saved

Yeah the one in video that I own is pretty thumpy
Tis but but a scratch.
I would just put a 288 cylinder on it and do the conversion. No one will know and many don't care because the stickers and tag say 281.

Is my best option to try to clean it and new piston
How's the Tinman and family
get rid of the gasket and your golden hopefully
He mentioned the squish on his saw was pretty large with a gasket so for sure he can remove it.
