quercus

I have a trusty Stihl 036, which has done it's fair share of work. It lacks power, and despite new piston ring, it still lacks guts.
The cost of a genuine new cylinder and piston from Stihl make it prohibitively expensive.
There doesnt seem to be any after market kits for this model, although there are for other saws, on ebay. I just want to retire it so I can cut firewood.
I recently upgraded it to a 441 magnum, which goes very well, but I hate throwing machinery away, so would appreciate any hints or tips
