    What happened here?

    Hey guys, I inherited this 372 X-torq with a broken piston. A chunk of the skirt on the exhaust side was broken off and there were metal shaving in the exhaust. The cylinder was badly scored. I went ahead and replaced the piston and cylinder with OEM parts. I broke in the new top end properly...

    3120xp dies when I throttle

    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...

    How's This Piston Looking?

    Pulled this piston out of my 262 I rebuilt a year or so ago. To my untrained eye it doesn't look too bad apart from some carbon on the exhaust side. I'd appreciate some feedback on the condition, so that I can learn more about what I should be looking for aside from the obvious like scoring...

    MS 261 - piston and rings after 60l/~15gal of alkylated gas + HP Ultra at 33:1

    Hello, I'm pretty new on here, used to be a lurker until recently. So I just got a new MS 261 (ver 3/carb) this spring and scrolling around during that time (including that 400-500 pages oil thread, oh god) I noticed that the veterans on this site aren't big fans of this oil. "Smells bad"...

    357XP Replace cylinder or just piston? (Pics)

    This is the second time this has happened to me on this saw. The first time my dad put straight gas in it. It looks similar and I used acid and sandpaper to clean the inside of the cylinder and just added a new piston. It wasn't perfect but it looked pretty good. I am wondering if this...
