When through this saw that had a very light score but no transfer to cylinder. Cleaned OEM cylinder in 2mins with the with 400grit and red scotch brite to hone. Like I said no transfer just discoloration. I put in a new Meteor piston, cleaned it up the best I could, and replaced a few pieces as I went. Namely the impulse line and the top plastic cover behind the clutch that had a hole in it. The saw is 98% OEM including the impulse line I replaced. The 2% = the meteor piston which is as close to OEM as you can get. I opened the muffler a little and pulled the spark arrestor. It passed a pressure and vac test so I'm assuming the cracked impulse caused the heat score on the piston. It has the OEM accelerator pump carb in it. It ran fine and started up with the heat scored piston but wouldn't feel right selling it like that so it got broken down to fix. Kinda wanted to keep this one myself but ya'll know how it goes...

It runs, it oils, it revs just fine. That being said I haven't put it to wood for more than 2-3 mins to tune the carb some. Assume you will need to fine tune the carb on your end at your altitude. Pictured with 16" bar but selling PHO. Or I can add a 14" GB replaceable tip and chain for a little more...
