Chainsaw Repair

Cylinder image with scarring. Piston ring is also seized to the piston on one side. Gasket is as I removed it -- with about a 3/8 inch gap. Didn't know why I could never adjust the idle speed down regardless of low needle setting -- guess it was running lean sucking air through the gap. Compression check when I got it was only about 90#, but it ran great--not much pep on opening the throttle -- just sort of slowly revved up, but when it got spinning it would easily out cut my 455. Obviously a lot more saw even in bad condition.
