, sounds like you should have left that one ring in the saw.
Even worse than that! That ring used to be a 67 Camaro SS

A '67 SS supersedes all the coolest old saws on planet. My dad had a '67 and a '68 RS. (and all of his cool old Mac saws)
I didn't really read the thread, but my wife got one ring. If I ever get rid of her, no woman is ever getting a ring from me, so I guess one ring is better?
I think the same tradeoffs occur. When my fiancee got the second ring, friction went up, performance went down, and things got cooler. I expect the relationship will last longer than it would have with just the one ring...but the rpms have been reduced.

If your young than just wait. About the time your cylinder starts to wear down she will get ramped up again(something about women getting thornier the older they get). Then she will be on the lookout for a new saw......:censored:

Huh, Andy have you ever been to a motocross race? You want to talk about Screaming 2 stroke engines. And who said anything about a low rpm trail bike.
And so if the first ring in a two ring set-up fails first, then it doesn't matter how many rings you have. Were is the pieces of that failed ring going to go? Sounds like a scored piston and cylinder to me.
As time passed, the trend was to fewer rings.
372 x 2
385 x 2
390 x 2
395 x 2
3120 x 2
must be a reason the big modern huskys run 2 rings ........
Fat rings are good in some ways like wear and heat transfer but they are hefty and don't like high RPM. Even a 1.5mm ring is a problem if you want to make a high RPM saw.
TW, how much could a 1.5mm ring weigh? Even if it was heavy couldn't it be offset 3X by lightening the piston windows? This is all just stupid theory in the real cutting world. Two rings, one ring, who cares? It's the operator, technique and how he files and sets his saw up. That does the talking as does simple tangible mods,not armchair conjecture designed to confuse those who know otherwise or those who are willing to listen because they don't know any better.
Working in the field offers far more illumination that working with a calculator or in the lab.

Thats one benefit. https://www.tuningmatters.com/how-t...iston-rings-and-cutting-off-the-piston-skirt/2 rings may make the piston a little more stable in the bore
You were quite the Arsehole back in those days! LolTW, how much could a 1.5mm ring weigh? Even if it was heavy couldn't it be offset 3X by lightening the piston windows?
