Hi guys
Er dunno what you can suggest but, i just dismantled a chainsaw engine (no idea what make) to replace the gaskets, and took got as far as the crank housing, and all the bearings fell out on the con-rod linkage. I gathered them up, but am now stuck as to putting them back in!
Can you suggest anything?
Cheers |

Do not know too much about chain saw motors, but if you can find out the make and model....might be able to find a motor diagram online. |

I think that might be a EFCO/Olympyk motor....but not sure. You might want to take into a small engine repair shop, they should be able to help you out better.
I can see the serial # in the first pic I think  |

As for the serial number, here it is:
