[QUOTE="777funk, post: 7575014, member: 125376"] Someone must have run this saw lean or without oil at some point because when I got it (for free and locked up), the cylinder has the plating melted off in a few spots. I was hoping it was just piston transfer but not quite. Could I hone it, throw a new piston in it and run the saw or would I be wasting my time/money? The plating is thick enough that the piston ring would likely catch (probably 0.020" thick) if run as is (with the plating missing in spots). [/QUOTE]
