I got as good as a freebie Husky 268XP this week that didn't run anymore. This saw was looking good, but very low compression...

oppppps, someone forgot to clean the airfilter now and then...
here's the piston. the ring locking pin apparently came loose, hit the exhaust port and snapped a chunk out of the top. The nice part is that this pin has been dancing a while on top of the piston and left big marks in the piston and jug top.
here's the jug. You'll notice a very clean deep score in the cylinder, as if it were machined, caused by the ring pin. I found the pin hiding in the muffler
One would assume that the crank were bent or bearings were shot because of this. I found them still OK. new jug and piston seem to be necessary![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
