This has been the most frustrating build I think I've ever done. It's a Husky 262. This is the problem. It's got low compression. New meteor piston, p&v fine, flywheel key intact, carb is holding pressure. This is the second piston I've put in it because I thought there might be something wrong with the first. That was a new piston too. I can't get it to go over 110 psi. It's got a little chunk taken out above the exhaust port, but I smoothed that out. Would that make it lose compression? What would make a saw have low compression when the basics are good?
