These old saws are legiondary old power houses and still highly sought after .They were made before the EPA got to detuning our saws for us and making them use wimpy oilers .
This thing arrived last night with compliants it just didn't have the power it used to .Well it turned out to be too lean ,no problem just retune it .
However I thought I should peek at the piston and it was good thing I did because it had started to go bad .No biggie to repair at least to keep it workable .
I sanded it out or at least the high spots with 20 micron lapping paper and WD -40 . I just got the high spots because too much and you make the piston eliptical and it won't seal correctly .
It starts and runs and cuts just fine .I need to super tune though but it was drizzling out and I really didn't want to drown myself in the rain .Tommorrow is another day .
