[/quote] I never paid attention or over looked that in the past. I had 4 runners even at one time. 2 woods ported, 1 piped race ported, 1 stock. #Post#: 39010-------------------------------------------------- Re: Stihl 084 By: jmester Date: April 22, 2014, 8:23 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Do you think that I am close in my theory in a lean running condition that caused the ring to stick and and catch the exhaust port. Also can you pressure/vacuum test the crankcase with the piston out of the saw. #Post#: 39011-------------------------------------------------- Re: Stihl 084 By: 660magnum Date: April 22, 2014, 8:33 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Yes if you seal off the intake, exhaust, & the pressure relief valve. #Post#: 39014-------------------------------------------------- Re: Stihl 084 By: jmester Date: April 22, 2014, 9:09 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Thanks I was thinking you could. Just wanted to here from someone else before I wasted any time. If it leaks through the decomp then the decomp is bad. #Post#: 39017-------------------------------------------------- Re: Stihl 084 By: 660magnum Date: April 22, 2014, 9:26 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Yes, and a tight spark plug too. #Post#: 39024-------------------------------------------------- Re: Stihl 084 By: jmester Date: April 23, 2014, 5:33 am --------------------------------------------------------- Thanks 660. Cut my piston does have the 2 grooves above the top ring. #Post#: 39026-------------------------------------------------- Re: Stihl 084 By: jmester Date: April 23, 2014, 7:55 am --------------------------------------------------------- The decomp is leaking won't hold vac or pressure. It is also leaking on the flywheel side where the generator would mount in the top threaded hole. If if where your guys saw would you put new seals, impulse, intake manifold on the saw or just leave it. ***************************************************** (DIR) Previous Page (DIR) Next Page
