So...
Got an 009 for free last week, and it's pretty filthy and doesn't look too well maintained. There was about 2 pounds of greasy sawdust trapped under the air filter. Anyway, I got it running and it sounds and feels pretty crazy. It grunts pretty low, and it "pops" pretty strongly a few times per second. It also vibrates REALLY violently.
There is no muffler screen. There are no piston rings (what the heck happened to them?) and a little gas leaks around the piston when I move it.
So...
Will a new muffler screen, air filter, and carb adjustment fix the popping? What's the most I should pay to have a shop put new rings on?
Thanks!
