Ok guys, I have started tearing down the saws I had done by JMS. I'll try and tear one down every night after work. I have 6 of them... Ugh...
I know what you all think by now: "Who's dumb enough to have 6 saws done by him?" Well, that's me. I'm that guy who was way too naive and had just gotten into saws.
I'll tear them down, and share both the good and the bad. I'll need some help I'm sure, as I'm no professional saw mechanic. I'm also looking forward to constructive criticism, help and suggestions.
If all you're going to do is to tell me how dumb I was, please refrain from doing so, as I already know that, and it is in no way helpful to anyone.
The first saw I've torn down is my Dolmar 7910. A favorite saw for me.
I bought the saw new about a year ago, and ran about 2 tanks through it before sending it off.
It came back running good, and was stronger than before I sent it away. I was happy.
The first pics are of the piston, and shows a few small streaks on both the intake and exhaust side.
I can feel them with my fingernail. What are some of you guys' opinions? This is after 2 tanks by me, maybe a few tanks by him, then followed by probably 2-3 tanks again by me after I got it back.
