John Deere/Echo question

[tomdcoker]

Good evening to all. I recently acquired a John Deere 46EV saw in almost new condition except for compression. The saw has the original chain, sprocket and bar, but the owner loaned it to a friend and it came back with 60# of compression. He thinks that the friend ran it with straight gas to finish a job. From the information that I got from the Acres site I think it is the same as a CS-440EVL. Can someone confirm or correct me on this. Also will Echo Parts (piston, rings and gasket) work. Thanks For any help. Tom

Your friend broke chainsaw rule #1.......................:bang:

Never loan out your saws!

True. This was the friend of the man that gave me the saw. I very seldom loan saws and when I do I send oil and gas with saw. Tom

I thought so, but I wanted someone more knowledgeable than me to confirm it. Thanks For the quick response. Tom
