Find the nearest rocking horse and wait for it to drop something out its backside.

Ok then serious time.

 

Why do you need new pot and piston. Is the old one damaged beyond repair??

 

Can you get some pics up of the old one.

 

Need some more info into why, some pots and pistons can be saved some can't. Sometimes the pot can be saved and just a piston needed.

I think I know a hen that has teeth:001_rolleyes:

 

As Rich says, is the bore of the cylinder truly buggered (scored, gouged or chipped ports) or is it just aluminium transfer?

 

Get a pic up if you can!

Don't ask me what this one is like as we all know the white box ones are rubbish rings. But could try a new piston after the pot has been cleaned out.

Having had a bad experience with a couple of Chinese pot and pistons on my MS650 I would say that £300 for genuine is cheaper in the long run. If the original pot can be salvaged then an OEM piston is a no brianer considering the value of the saw.

I have just opened a trade account with Garden Hire Spares. Has anyone direct experience of their pots and pistons? Good or Bad?
