    I've been using that little 020AV that I overhauled, she's a little ripper! I'm running the 14" safety chain and bar that it found me with, I did take the intermediate shark fins off the chain and it cuts decent but I'm betting it'll really fly with an 043 chisel setup!

    Not good, but it could've been worse!

    Got this one yesterday from friend who I rebuilt a 272xp for. It was given to him and he just gave it to me.
    If I can save the cylinder I’ll rebuild it.
    With the plastic intake clamp and the auto decomp, odds weren’t great from the beginning for this saw.

    I think half the piston is stuck to the cylinder!!! Haha

    Speaking a 272…. I could swear I saw a video the other day of a 357 with a 272 top end…
    Hmmm seemed like a cool build with the majority being plug and play.

    A couple lite grooves above the exhaust
    I think I’ll do some final clean up and build it with the scratches. See what effect it has.

    Maybe won't pump your gauge up as far but at 8,000rpm and up, probably not much effect at all. :yes:

    Found the decomp plug hole whallowed out when the plug fell on the bench/ out of the saw.

    But a helicoil fix in it.

    Another source of air leak. Maybe the source

    I was watching one of these on the bay and double checked the pics for the blue button. It was a good looking saw. I checked this morning and the auction got canceled with 0 bids. Kind of shocking with all the xp freaks out there. Had me wondering if the saw has notorious issues.

    I'm under the impression that an air leak above the piston doesn't cause a lean condition like one below it, just compression loss like a loose spark plug. Maybe I'm way off base here.

    My bench BR600 blower.
    It runs for a couple minutes and loses power.
    The only thing I have not done is a crank seal on the fan side.

    Time to take it apart and do an actual pressure /leak down test.
    Can't get to the fan side seal without ripping the whole thing apart.

    I bought a new blower but now determined to fix this thing.

    Not sure when exactly but the 357 changed from that crappy auto decomp, which was definitely problematic, to a standard upper cyl blue button. My 2010 is the latter.

    My 2002 is the blue button on the cylinder, not the auto version.

    might be wrong on the year, but serial number is 02 1700299.

    Just did a 028, and have about 20 waiting between my saws to keep or sell and a few repairs for people that I’m waiting on parts for. Also getting another pile of saws next week for parts or repair but don’t know how many yet
