Bought a used Stihl 192T. It started and ran well, then seemed gutless in the cut. Compression was 130# after 5 pulls, but when I looked into the exhaust port I could see what looked like scoring just to the right. Can it test good but still be compromised under load? I don't want to spend an arm and leg on a new piston and cylinder, but I'm afraid that's what it's going to take. I see Farmertec parts out there--are they worth the money? Any other good choices? Thanks for any replies and help.
good P&C for Stihl 192?

Okay, here are photos of the intake side of the piston, the exhaust side, and the cylinder. Clearly they are compromised.
Try cleaning up the cylinder with some wet dry sandpaper
if it cleans up buy a new piston and rings,and seals
