It sounds like this won't be the last saw you will fix/rebuild/buy-sell etc. A mityvac 8500 will serve you well and give you confidence in your builds. A 'must have' tool for proper service. Do seals as LW says and you will have a ripper OEM saw that will sell easy or provide long service life if you keep it.

Dag,well I orderd tool yesterday ,says it will be here tommorow.I guess i'll do a pres/vac test and then learn something new by changing seals.Thankyou for all your input/help,,,,,and do a pres/vac test again
Is the ignition side seal recessed? If so you should get an installer tool to set it at the right depth.They are cheap. Definitive Dave has them.
