husky 346xp pot and piston kit

Slight thread resurrection. Any decent quality aftermarket cylinders available now, or does anyone have a decent 50cc cylinder available? 

 

I buggered mine up today trying to clean up aluminum transfer, I let the acid get onto the edge of the exhaust port and now the nicasil coating is all knackered at that point. Stupid me.

Not a good time to get any parts. Supply chains are in a bit of a state. If the saw is going to go out and earn your living, go OEM!

£253 plus vat, ouch.

Yeah, that is the problem, it isn't a saw that I would make money with, its already a loss making exercise after I bought the other bits required to rebuild, which I now don't need.

 

I'll keep them in stock until I rebuild another 346 I have, but it is a bit of a kick in the balls.

Found a new oem cylinder and piston on Ebay from the US for £110. Figured it was worth a go. Part no. 544 14 29 07 which shows as a 50cc with no decomp and the photo shows the decomp hole hasn't been machined. Hopefully it'll be OK. Or I've thrown more money away!

Just put a bung in it if it has? Or do your covers not allow clearance?

It is the new cylinder that doesn't have the decomp plug hole.
