This is the aftermarket 268 piston. It's made for an open port cylinder. No windows

This is the proper 266/268 closed port windowed piston. This is a meteor but oem looks the same

Thanks for showing me the diff , would it make much diff to the saw if the wrong one was put in , not that i have , need to check the cylinder and piston on mine yet

The windowed piston should be fine in either one. The non windowed one will run in a closed port cylinder, but it won't work very well

I've taken apart at least one saw that was wrong. Probably more often than we think.

The last 2 Meteor 268 closed port p/c kits I bought came with the non-windowed piston, so I got the windowed 50mm pistons before I built the saws.

Just a question
a piece off the 394xp cylinder broke off a bolt hole on the base , can it be repaired
and how would it be done
Tig weld i guess but would the base need to be machined
would it be ok once repaired

Before and after photos of my 365 special and 2150

 

[Stackowood]

Did the 2150 change color?

 

[Hot Husky 365]

It went to the dark side

Since it's a 2150 we'll let it slide . If it was a 2152 or 2153 I'd have to give you a frown face.

Right, I've tried some red images but I can't seem to get them re-sized to fit the avatar box.

Take the cover off and see if the brake band is broken. Those are hard to find, there's some on eBay UK but the shipping is ridiculously high.
