I think your compression tester is giving the wrong reading.

That was my first thought!!!!

That was my first thought!!!!

What was the second thought the chain was real dull?

 

[dmb2613]

The piston looks like it could have 120 lbs of compression , I thought the chain was backwards lol, lot of powder not any chips

At first I thought the chain was on backwards. Lmao!

Those are real nice little saws though.

Never ran one, I know you’re a big fan of them. A new video with a sharp chain and an accurate compression test will help with the sale immensely.

I have sold about three or four brand new ones in the last year to guys who could not get them in their area. I liken them to the husky 346 XP. I think of them as a small saw that behaves like a much bigger one. Lately, I have not been trusting compression testers. I've tested some old saws I pick up in various places that seem to push huge numbers on the gauge, but when I take the saw apart, the piston is scored to heck and the rings are stuck! Conversely, I have saws that seem to not get past 100, but internally look pristine.

I went through the whole compression tester problem and it has to do with adapters and Scrader valves being incorrect.
You can cross check the gauge with a couple other new saws and if they are all low you can bet its way off.

Fake news, you must be a stihl guy lol.
Put an 18 on one and see how it compares .
They are great saws though, I like to keep one around, even though I'm more of a husky guy .

I’d do $350 shipped to Ohio

I knew that would get your attention!

Thanks for the help. I tried another adapter (same thread diameter, but different length - into the yet another adapter to convert to the small plug size hole) and it managed 118 to 120 psi...and then bled off by itself through near the compression gage, so no picture there. I'm not sure if its the 16 adapters needed or a schrader valve or what. If this is a deciding factor for anyone interested in buying the saw, please let me know. I could see if I can change schrader valves, borrow a different tester, or come up with another plan. But, if it's not a deciding factor, I won't spend the time. I don't have the skill set for rebuilding anything, so I just bought my rummage sale compression tester for "go or no go" compression reading needs. It has served me well for that, but I also suppose that I got what I paid for.

Thanks for the tip. If I can find some time during daylight hours, I'll make another video.

Thanks for the offer, but I'll respectfully decline - at least for the time being.

It is a deciding factor , if you have another saw in new condition and get the same reading then you can tell if its higher than the gauge says. I have a snap on gauge with the small adapter and it works fine . that saw should be around 160 PSI.

Let me know if you do decide to sell for that. Thankyou
