  22. Not tried either of those configurations and not used the sequioa only the Navajo which is horrendously uncomfortable. So far so good. I will report back after a few more weeks of using it Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  23. This one ate a screw from butterfly. Piston was shot but cylinder looks ok. And is smooth. Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  24. Yes have a spare cylinder that should be usable if you got a piston. Link to new oem cylinder kit for 55 quid. https://www.lsengineers.co.uk/genuine-cylinder-piston-assy-for-stihl-ms170.html Good luck. You will need some gasket sealent Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
  25. What caused the piston to get like that? No 2 stroke oil? Check the butterflies on the carb. Looks to me like some metal has got I to cylinder and crunched piston. Maybe the screw on carb butterfly. Give me 2 mins I'll check if I have a usable 170 cylinder. Chinese ones are wick. Meteor are good. These saws are only 170 quid new so I def wouldn't buy a new oem cylinder Sent from my SM-G390F using Arbtalk mobile app
