These saws have no liner in their cylinder, so when they are low on compression is there any way to rebuild and get good compression again? I have tied meteor and Hyway piston kits and still get pretty low compression. Oversized ring if they made them could put some life back in. I wish they made them.

You would need to replace the cylinder also.
They are throw away saws when low on compression. I guess that is one of the reason for the low cost.
