I swapped the piston last week for a new Meteor piston.
It runs stronger now, I was playing with a square ground chain on it, and that was cutting really nicely.
Ran two tanks, but when I went to use a 3 corner file to "touch it up". I learned another lesson. I had over heated a few cutters, File had a hard time trying to sharpen them.
So, even if it looks ok, it is really easy to overheat them...
The carb spitting back is reduced with the new piston some. Maybe the cylinder is worn some too...?
It sure did run well for me today tho.
