I bought parts for the one on my 330. Had to look it up under pp365 on parts tree. That was the only saw that showed the parts.

Was anxious to see how new rings would do on my new to me 4000. Haven't run it yet just did a compression test. Little disappointed at 122- 125. May squirt a little 2 stroke in the cylinder to see if it rises much. Could be simply a worn out cylinder though it should run.

What was your source for rings?

Yep I would say that is a little low for a 4000. Delete the base gasket and see if the rings seat.

Base gasket already deleted.

Give it some run time, see what it has afterwards, I was pretty sure those rings were OEM and the listing said so. What did the cylinder look like?

I should check the one I put a new OEM piston kit on and report back

I usually don't hone, but others do. I generally use some red scotch rite to clean cylinder.

 

[2stroke_shaman]

Like this red ? And nothing to rings?

 

[s sidewall]

I would do anything to the rings, just make sure they are clean.
