Took my saw to the best mechanic around and he said its toast it's not carb problems there is a hole in my piston and mechanic said its not worth fixing.

Next time your saw starts to loose power check the spark arrestor.  If there is a lot of soot on it take it off and put a torch to it.  Propane torch is fine.  Don't ruin it just burn the crap off.  If that is the problem it should run fine.  10+ years on my husky and sthil and thats all I have really done to them except for a plug once in a while.  Harbor Saw in Hoquiam taught me that little trick several years ago.  I was looking at a new one and they told me to take it home and try this.  If did not work they would look at it.  Well I never had to take back.

Hmmmmmmm. I will be looking at my saw tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up about that.

Like was said before check the spark arrester and but some Sta-bil in your mix or Amsoil makes a product called quick shot for small engines. Also check that you do not have a pin hole in your fuel line that will also cause you problems.
