2 Husqvarna Saws, same problem

[kwbobwi]

A friend of mine dropped of to Husqvarna's that had the wrong gas run in them.
The 460 Rancher X Torq is apart and the 440 X Torq is still locked up.
Looking for suggestions to rebuild them including the best place for parts.
Also need to know if during rebuilds is a new crank assembly with connecting rod is typically done at the same time.
Yes I've rebuilt small

engines before but not 2 strokes.

Watch out... You may get "Hooked" on building and modding them. I sure have.

Those saws look basically new were they straight gassed out of the gate?

I have been buying parts from Wolf Creek Saw Shop, and also more recently a new saw from HockFire Saws.

Best I know they are low hour saws.
As far as modding goes that's a possibility if I can get these 2 up and running for less money than replacing them considering they aren't much of a parts money maker

You might get lucky and possibly being low hour just stuck the pistons due to heat and no lube. Or not.
Get the top cover off and remove the muffler then take a look into the exhaust port and depending on where it seized the skirt and rings should give a clue on how bad the situation is. The plating on the aluminum cylinder can be pretty tough and maybe survived -the aluminum pistons are much softer and can get scuffed up bad and then stick.
If a ring hung up or a circlip came out of the piston pin area, things can get ugly quick.

Hoping for minimal damage.
Hyway, Caber, and OEM are all available as well as dirt cheap no name cylinder/piston kits as well.
