I've come across a few saws now that have been scored to death, and I'd like to know more about the symptoms of each root cause
Anyone know a good way of figuring it out? Perhaps with some pictures of what each cause does and doesn't damage?
I got a 394 for cheap (have the saw if you fix the recoil on my MS170).. Piston scored to death, cylinder has tons of transfer on it, no detonation pitting on the top of the piston, bottom end good and tight, cooling fins a little dirty, but not bad. With a new top end the saw runs awesome.
Other saw (Husky L65) had a ton of detonation erosion, rings stuck, clean saw inside and out.. run lean?
