Hi Guys
I have an older 026 which I brought back to life. It had a slightly scored piston and cylinder. I was able to clean both the cylinder and piston to where you could not see any damage. I put new rings new seals replaced all of the rubber and now the saw runs great I have got 165psi compression and this saw starts 4th pull every time. The only thing that I did not do was port it. I don't have the knowledge for porting. I have all of the cutting and polishing tools which I use for my job as a extrusion tooling tech which involves cutting and polishing extrusion dies. I am bored and ready to learn how port this saw. I am looking for input on where to cut and polish and also how much to take to get good results without going to far. any help would greatly appreciated.
