Bearing troubles :(

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

Welcome to the forum, glad you joined us

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.

Well, i have absolutely no idea what make it is, and no one seems to know either. It has a walbro carb, and says made in italy?

I don't know about that motor? Is that metal shavings I see in the last two pics? If so.....thats a lot of shavings

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

Yeah, one of the screws was mpossible to get at, and i realised that there was an access hole that was filled up with saw dust, but unfortunately none of my tools fitted through, so i improvised and drilled it

, i'm gonna blast all the shavings off with the old compressor i think.

As for the serial number, here it is:

Well I did my best but even with serial # 4540280 I still could not find anything
