Hello all! I have a nice old 621, still runs good! But I noticed that the compression(to the feel) seemed a bit low when pulling out the starter slowly.... I pulled the muffler and sure enough there is some scoring on the exhaust side, haven't gone into it much yet, but I ordered a set of rings.... any possibility that I can just clean up the cylinder and re-ring the existing piston and be ok? Thoughts? I am not looking to dump much money into it... I'd love to save the old thing, though!
I am assuming that the scoring is due to wear and years and years of use? Hoping I caught it before I burnt up the top end. You can't even tell there is a problem when using the saw(which I have stopped doing since discovering the scoring).
Thanks, and I appreciate any help.
