hey Guys,
Alright got an 044 today for free from a friend, the saw starts with a little bit of effort and idles okay, but when I rev it up it seems the hit a plateau and after a 3-5 seconds it will rev higher. I've tried adjusting the carb, it hasn't changed the issue. I did a compression test and the best I can get 95psi, this seems very low to me but again the saw runs and idles okay. So I tore it down and the piston and cylinder are clean no marks at all. So this is where i need your help, should I put in some new rings and new base gasket, or leave the rings and used gasket maker to make the base gasket. Would the saw act this way because of the low compression?
Thanks For your help in advance
