Just purchased this low hour, near minty stihl 056. Has been sitting with fuel in it for 4 or so years. Dumped all gas out, and am getting a carb rebuild kit. It will start easily on spray.
While cleaning it up, I pulled muffler....this is what I found...
Piston looks amazing..haven't checked compression yet...need to pony up for a good tester..turned the flywheel a bit more to look at rings....
Lower ring seems to be inside piston groove...upper ring is gone?? With the low hours of this saw...I can't see that the jug has ever been taken off. Anyone else ever run into this?
