Looking to get a new cylinder and piston for a 550XP. new prices from the dealer are close to the cost of a whole new saw. Does anyone sell pattern parts for these saws?

 

I scored the piston/cylinder on mine when virtually new. Dealer said wrong fuel mix but I was convinced I did everything right and I've never had an issue in the 2 years since. Bought a replacement 550XP for £30 more than the cost of the repair (my credit card hated me that month) and the old one has sat on a shelf for the past couple of years while I hope someone brought out pattern parts so I could repair it. Google didn't help when searching recently, just wondered if anyone might know of someone who's now making them.

 

Thanks.

The 550 has a Husqvarna produced cylinder and has not been out long enough for the piraters to start churning them out, try honing the cylinder and fitting a new piston.
