BTW @RI Chevy Jeff I think the ring on mine has finally seated as I cut up a maple tree Saturday and man was it ripping.
I haven't checked compression, but poor man's hanging by the starter rope and pulling it over it wants to bite more like she's back up over 200 lbs.
Last thing I did was rebuild carb (I'm original owner so it was 26 year old diaphragm and metering spring etc.), clean up a small bit of transfer on the exhaust side of cylinder -- test w/ the muriatic acid, and new meteor piston which included the wrist pin and IMHO nicer circlips that meteors use. Holds tune perfectly and she's strong.
Always a pleasure running this thing w/ 20" bar. 18" would be fine, but I like the 20 inch on these.
I should see if my buddy Tom is still interested in one of these...
