Bought this saw from a neighbor for $75, I'd say it's been almost the best 75 I've spent. About a year ago I tore the intake boot/manifold next to the cylinder, which was when I really started learning about how to work on my own saws, as the dealer didn't fix the problem. Anyways, tonight I decided to tear it down for a checkup, it had been running like it had an air leak, which I found, it was a torn impulse hose. Now this has been a great saw to me, but I'm wondering if there is anything that I can do to boost power/performance while I've got it tore down, I took pictures before I started cleaning it.
Any suggestions on what if anything might benefit or improve this saw? Thanks in advance

Also, I did a compression test, came in at 155-160psi, possibly needs new rings? Shouldn't it be higher than that? And, how's best to clean the exhaust port? Thanks again.
