Hello,
Looking for some opinions. I bought an early 044 a couple of years ago. It was an impulse buy. Didn’t need it, but well you guys know how it is. Anyway, the saw sat longer than I intended and I’m finally getting around to it. It runs ok, but I wasn’t satisfied so I decided to take a look at the piston. It doesn’t look scored but it definitely looks used through the exhaust port.
I’m trying to decide if I should just put new rings in and run it or if I should put a new Meteor piston in it while I have it opened up?
also going to replace fuel and impulse line while in in there. Thinking about doing crank seals as well.
it’s not a show queen, just want a good reliable runner.
