I picked this saw up used about a month ago. Meteor kit, muffler work, and whatever else the guy did, ran great when I got it and have been milling with it ever since and no issues, until the other day. Let off the throttle to put in some wedges and it died, went to start again and I could feel there was no compression.
Long story short when I got everything apart, the wrist pin was very hard to get out and the fell out in 40 pieces. Took out the top of the piston and cylinder. Checked the bottom end luckily nothing found its way down there. Plenty of oil and everything was lubed well.
I have a new meteor kit on the way. Should I use that bearing or go OEM? Anyone ever had this issue before?
