Just a small sweetgum on a windy day.View attachment 242353
I ain't skeered. Ship it.
That’ll buff out lol
This is off of my 064. The cylinder was in beautiful pristine condition! The saw was just recently rebuilt and ran awesome! I was using it one day and it started leaning out. Grabbed another saw and finished the day.
Went home and started looking for the problem. I went for the usual suspects. I tried new everything carb, fuel filter, fuel line, impulse line, vent line and intake boot.
Still no change! I was getting mad and scratching my head at this point.
I took it to my dealer to do a vac test for me because I don't have a tester. Well he called me up and said I found the problem. He said in the 40 years he's been working with saws he's never seen this and THIS is what it was.
Luckily not long after I picked this saw up I recently bought a box of 064 parts off of @K Mueller.
Has anyone else ever seen this?

It looks like it was a poor casting. Right at the ends of the transfers it looks like there was some porosity in the casting.
What are your thoughts?

Maybe the rebuild had the squish to tight and it was a head slapper

The operator is most likely convinced he knows what he is doing and thinks he is doing it correctly.Which one is worse, (a) or (b)?

Same sawyer did both (not me).
Correct. Even his best friend told me that he is bi-polar.The operator is most likely convinced he knows what he is doing and thinks he is doing it correctly.
