I have a stock 3120xp, maybe a year old. I was cutting some red oak yesterday and unfortunately the bar got pinched as I was making a relief cut in the log I was bucking. I was able to get the bar out of the cut but after that, the saw just dies when I try to go full throttle for cuts.
Saw starts fine and idles ok, but anytime I try to use the saw it just shuts off. It was a cool 30 degrees F here in NC yesterday when I was cutting, and I don’t think I was being hard on the saw.
I read some other threads and became concerned I had smoked it so I removed the muffler and took some photos of the piston. In you guys opinion am I toast? I see scoring but nothing that screams death to me. I’ve yet to take out the carburetor and give it a cleaning/inspection along with the fuel lines. But wanted to rule out the worst if I could.
Thanks in advance.
