       First observation

       I bought a Makita DCS 540 that had low compression. This had to
       be the filthiest chainsaw I ever bought. After cleaning up and
       disassembly, I noticed that the piston ring gap would allow the
       piston ring to move vertically about .005. It was worn so bad
       that the ring gap was nearly 1/16 ! Very little carbon buildup.
       First two stroke I ever worked on and would run in this
       condition? ? ?
       Cylinder bore and piston were not even stained with no obvious
       signs of extreme wear, but the crank bearings were worn and
       loose.
       Owner said the saw had never been rebuilt.---or cleaned--LOL
       New Caber Piston Ring has .006 ring gap in cylinder.
