Hello, today I blew my Stihl 036. I started it and just as I was about to cut I revved it and it stalled. As soon as I pulled the cord I knew I had blown the saw. I used a chinese piston with my oem cylinder with a base gasket delete, the saw had a ton of power. I think I knocked a hole in the piston. I will take it apart tonight but who has a good guess as to what happened? Spark plug looked perfect and the saw ran perfect until it blew.
