I must have taken about 30 pictures, inside, outside, flash, no flash, I just can't seem to get a pic that shows up well on here - the picture makes things look much worse than what it looks like in real life. I can barely fit my pinky finger in there, but you can't feel any gouging on the piston. Soooo, I rebuilt the carb and put it back together. The saw starts and runs well, I was testing it out today. Thanks for all the input from all who replied. One additional question - It has a Walbro carb (WT) 194A I believe that has adjustable jets. I have heard a lot of people say theirs have fixed jets??
