Posting for my friend. He's had the saw, Husqy 55 Rancher, for a few years. let someone borrow it and it came back dead. he suspects the guy run straight gas or maybe lean on oil. what a friend.
s/n off the side. dont know how to read it though, can anyone tell the year from this? or anything else useful?

55 Rancher
Anyhow, compression test read barely 50lbs. We took off the muffler to look at the piston, that didnt look good either. Unfortunately I didnt have a good camera to snap a pic.
Next steps?
Is it worth reboring the cylinder and putting in a new piston/ring? Should i tell him to scrap it and get a new saw?
