"scuffed piston" help (346xp)

[CascadeHusky]

I have learned over the various projects I have done, NOT to order parts until you entirely complete the break down, because you may and most likely will come across other gaskets and such that may need replacing.
Treeninja, where do you live? There may be a member close willing to help you out.

This ^^^^.

When I buy a saw that I'm excited about that needs worked over, it's easy to see a couple things wrong or just know that a something needs replaced and want the parts Asap and make an order...but it usually takes me 2 weeks to get parts. And in that time more needs are found by disassembly...and then it's another order and two weeks if I didn't get the first order modified in time.

thanks all, so i just took her completely apart for the most part. took some pics for ***** and to show you what the previous owners did. probably everyday stuff for you folks

i got a long ways to go still before Im confident to order parts but its fun trying to learn.

The most important thing is to learn how to tune a saw right then when it gets lean for any reason you'll recognize it and fix what's wrong before you burn it up. Tuning it right means its NOT screaming, saws make more power and have better torque when they have enough fuel. Steve

That cylinder looks like it will clean up just fine. Meteor piston $35 and you'll be good

I agree. That cylinder will likely clean up just fine. http://northwoodsaw.com/store/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1126

Why would you link the exact same piston from a non-sponsor that I already linked from an actual sponsor? And also, sponsor or not, your link costs $44.28 and mine is $38.50.

That's not helpful....

Well pardon me for trying. I didn't follow your eBay link from a previous page. Dave is a fantastic guy to do business with. I highly recommend him.
