Work Saw Specialist
I've got an 088 that's freaking me out. The owner sent it to us because it was deemed "hard to start". Well now I build saws with well over 200psi on a regular basis.......so when the owner said he was having trouble starting it I just figured he wasn't putting his heart into it.
Now lets talk about what we found on the saw.
The piston was melted.......yep seriously.
Not scored.......melted.
Most of you guys have either met or seen pics of my son in law Jon. He's a pretty big guy......well starting this 088 scares him.
I've been trying to find the ignition timing specs on the 088......but so far no luck.
We set up a timing light on the saw and found that at idle its 47° BTDC. When revved it drops.......like I said this saw is freaking me out.
We are setting up a 066 to check now..........
