Hi guys.
I checked my 084av compression recently and found it to be only 105 psi. From what I have learned 140 psi + should be the mark.
The saw runs like a dream but has it's arse kicked easily by my MS 660 when it comes to cutting posts and planks.
I see after market piston and rings kits are easily available on eBay but cannot find a new cylinder.
1. Are after market cylinders available and if so can someone suggest a supplier?
On the other hand ...Is it too difficult and expensive to have the original cylinder honed and match a new piston and ring set to suit?
2. If someone here has done this already is it feasible and could you give an approximate costs for honing and the oversize piston/rings?
Advise would be appreciated.
Thanks
Andy
