Compression...
Jeez, the four saws I've done my compression tests on, I did all the wrong way! I've been doing it wrong this whole time??? Story of my life...but after three repeated separate tests, I got 120(with minute variation, depending on how hard I pulled) on the third pull, all three times, and 130psi, on the fourth pull, twice, 135 once. I'm offended by my own stupidity...well, I'm still new to the game, so I guess I've got that excuse. I'm thankful you guys have come through, though! I'm gonna take the advice, about recording and posting a vid, after I check outs the youTubes, because the idea came to me when reading your post, AndreTheGiant. I watched bsnellings video a long while back on pressure testing and replacing flywheel seal on none other than the same style 026 Pro I'm toying with. I'm gonna save some face, though, and wait for a verdict on my compression numbers first, then try tuning the carb, one more time, when I get a chance today(I'm watchin my 6 month old boy, while his mommas at work, but by noon or 1, I'm on it!). I'll confess, I've been tuning my carb backwards this whole time too, because the way I was shown, L screw, then LA, then high! Man I shoulda joined this site a year or two, before I did, I havn't seized any pistons yet, but geez misinformation could have been really expensive! Thanks for havin that info in your sig, Sefh, and everybody else that's been helping me out, thank you, I'll get there! Soon!
