Hey guys I just started this account today, and already have a question. I just got a jonsered 2171 off of ebay for $150 and I was wondering if I should rebuild it or part it out. I have a crankshaft, bearings, and seals laying on my bench waiting to be put in a saw and I was thinking this was the perfect opportunity. The guy said that he could hear a metal on metal contact when he turned it over and I figured its top end was blown up. When I finally got it in the mail and tore into it sure enough that was the problem, but it was more than just a scored piston and cylinder. The piston had a big hole in the side and it took a bite out of the exhaust port throwing metal pieces all through out the saw. So I figured I better split the case and clean it out thoroughly now that the case is split might as well throw the new crank and bearing in it. Found some relatively cheap big bore kits for it on ebay for around $70-$80. Ounce its all said and done I think I will have to much money into it an ill never make profit off of it. So I was wondering what you guys think I should do?
Thanks, Devin
