So I just got my 365 Specials (3) that I bought from Goofy Saws before he sold the lot to the ebay guy and I'm wondering if you guys can help me out. All three saws had broken pistons. All three cylinders are toast beyond use because of this and two of them have bad cranks due to the obvious introduction of "extra" metal. Is this common with the 365? Never seen such a thing. Two are broken on the top edges and one busted at the skirt. I understand the skirt break could be from lean conditions but what about the tops breaking? They're broken between the ring groove and the top. I dont have a camera that takes good detailed pictures up close.
Also the piston that broke at the skirt had scoring on the left side of the piston between the intake and exhaust ports. What does this mean? It looked perfect when I took the muffler off but not so good once I pulled the jug off.
Thanks.
