Absolutely not. I have no hand in any of this. I simply get grumpy with people who pay for used and broken stuff, get used and broken stuff, and then act as if they were cheated. It gets old.Huh...........I figured Mule was the seller and didn't like what was being said about him.
With what you described that is odd with a low reading like that.
How long has the saw not ran? Do you think it could be possible for the rings to be sticking?
For right now (since your time to work on it is limited) I would bring the piston up to TDC and pour a little bit of Marvel Mystery Oil down the cylinder and let it sit for a few days... go out and pull the saw over a few dozen time. Repeat this process a few times and see what happens.
Yes, the rings need to float in the ring lands.As in sticking in the groves in the piston and not making good contact with the walls of the cylinder? Never thought of that. Might be. Will try the oil treatment and see what happens.
There is almost certainly something else wrong, most likely carb/lines, but possibly ignition. 120 psi is obviously not optimal, but I would expect it to run at that compression.

Look, I know you simply wanted justification and reinforcement for your whining when you solicited "opinions," but I'm simply not a guy who caters to random people's wishes. You got a legitimate gripe, I'll side with you. You want to whimper like a pmsing school girl, I'm going to call you on it. That's the way it is.Speaking of "gets old"
Did you solicit opinions in your very first post or didn't you? If you had no intention of posting, why did you post? Last time I checked, threads don't compose themselves. Here's a couple of facts for you. You chose to type this post for this forum. You asked for feedback. I gave you feedback. You bought a non running saw and that is exactly what you got. Simple case of buyer's remorse and now you want to come to the forums crying about it.
Let me see, where was that? Ah! Here it is. Check the title:
"Opinions welcome"
Over the years of posting on this and other forums, I could write a book full of posts I've written and not hit the reply button....
