3120XP Piston Ring Pin Issues

[Marshy]

Anyone been having issues with the 3120XP Husqvarna pistons losing the ring pin? My uncle has had two OEM pistons that the pin came lose and ruined cylinders.

@Spike60, have you seen any failures?

@Mastermind, seen any of these failures?

We're wondering what we can do to prevent more failures.

No sir......I have not. Stock saws?

Yes, they get a fair amount of time milling though.

Milling can and will kill anything.

My uncle is getting gun shy. Both pistons were new OEM Husqvarna in new OEM cylinders. New seals at the same time.

Are some made in Brazil and some Sweden?

I'm not sure where the ones that failed were made...

Wonder whether Meteor makes 3120 piston?
