I know this is a throw away saw, but I bought it new 14 years ago and after making both H and L a little richer, it's performed flawlessly ever since. Now it's getting a little tired, actually it barely runs. I pulled it apart after measuring compression at 90 psi with a standard automotive gauge. Surprisingly, the cylinder is straight and the piston looks okay. I measured the ring end gap at .035. I'm thinking throw a new ring in it and see what happens.
BTW I thought 90 psi seemed extremely low, so I checked the compression on a new Hitachi CS33EB and only got 100 psi and it runs fine. Go figure.
