Recently tore down about a cheapo Poulan saw I got for free. The guy said his brother used it and it stoped mid cut. The guy found out the spark plug wire melted through. The guy replaced the coil and it still wouldn’t fire. The guy also said the fuel filter was off the fuel line. Anyways, the saw had only about 50-60psi of compression so I am just salvaging some parts of it and found the piston and cylinder in really bad shape. What causes this?
