I pulled the jug of a customers 272 today for a good cleaning, this is what the piston looks like after 18 months of heavy firewood duty while running Red Armor at 50:1 This saw has not had an easy life, it was sold new in 1996 to a tree company and used heavily every day until late 2012 when a crush incident took it out of service. The current owner ended up picking it up for a song, replacing the half wrap (really all that got damaged) and has cut 5-6 cords a year with it ever since. As far as I know this is the original piston from 1996, saw does not appear to have ever been apart.

I tore down 2 saws to port for one guy that runs that stuff. I'm impressed with it for saw oil. Too bad no place local to get it. I'd keep it to tune other peoples stuff on.
