Yeah, I started to recommend comparing prices earlier on ereplacement parts.com
Buy the official Echo Piston Kit P021009771 replacement - Use our model diagrams, repair help, and video tutorials to help get the job done.
Short block may not be needed, but here it is just in case.

If it's priming properly, it most likely wouldn't be that though. Also, isn't a compression test best done after the engine has warmed up?
