I recently bought two saws with the same powerhead, one is a Poulan Pro 455 chainsaw and the other is a Target concrete saw, both essentially Pioneer P45 powerheads. They both have a feeling of low compression when pulled over without using the decompression valves. Now, they’re 72cc, and I have...

Hey folks, I'm new here. How y'all doon', friends? Dad gave me his oil Pioneer P20 and granddad's 1072 Holiday II. The latter needs a primer bulb but the P20 has been cutting okay for firewood and old snags. I'd like to cut a bit better without modding the motor. So I'm thinking about getting...
