Hey Guys,
Been a second since I've posted, but I ran upon a great deal on a 034 that "supposedly" only needs crankshaft seals.
My Stihl Tech offered it to me for $150 up & running or $42 OTD AS IS...I opted for the latter!!
I finally dug into it bit tonight and was surprised at under the grime was a pretty decent saw.
Bar is in good shape, the chain is semi-sharp chisel, piston looks smooth,...and its cleaning good so far.
This is my first time really ever digging this far into a saw and the progress is arduous, yet kinda intriguing!
I'm leaning toward letting Tech friend do the seals @ his house for $25...I can handle the tune-up though.
Here are some pics of what I've found thus far...any suggestions and thoughts of what else I might replace while I'm at it?
Thanks & Happy New Year!
Reg
