Dolmar 5105 piston question

[dustinwilt68]

Picked up a nice little 5105, piston is scored to badly to use, cylinder will clean up nicely, wondering if anyone knows of another brand piston that will fit without machining it? Meteor doesn't list 1, and Dolmar wants as much almost for a kit as a cylinder. Thanks for any help

Did you see these at sawagain.
69.00 still spendy though.

No I didn't but I was hoping for a little cheaper option but that might be the best option, thank you.

Dolmar Germany is listing following prices:
- OEM PS-5105 piston kit 68€
- OEM PS-5105 P&C kit 200€

That's a whole lotta difference in price.


Took a quick look at eBay and found one listing for an AM piston kit:
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Kolben-passend-zu-Motorsage-Dolmar-PS-500-PS-5000-PS-5105-PS-5005-mit-45mm-/121489903572?hash=item1c495ccfd4:gBgAAMXQVT9S94RB&_trkparms=pageci%3A7efb2979-a6da-11e7-8d61-74dbd1801086%7Cparentrq%3Ad94db52715e0a99b9c7179c0ffff2c78%7Ciid%3A1

The price tag of 28€ isn't that bad, but not all too tempting either.
At 30€ the shipping is a killer thought, so You'd be better off with OEM!

The only AM u know of is a VEC, but good luck finding one. Skirts are a little narrower in them but ok for stock.
Fordf150 would be your best bet. Great dealer!!

 

[fordf150]

off the top of my head here are the prices.

piston $81
510 cylinder kit $125
5105 cylinder kit $185

I cant think of any AM pistons right now but I am pretty sure there is one out there, I'm just drawing a blank right now

 

[fordf150]

I knew there was one....thanks Rich

 

[dustinwilt68]

Thanks guys.

Looking line a new oem kit then. I will order 1 tomorrow morning.

 

[blsnelling]

Stick with OEM. Do it right.

 

[dustinwilt68]

I was just hoping a 346xp piston or stihl ms 261 would fit right in

Just put a piston in one of these a few weeks back. It was under 75.00 shipped for the kit from Carl. If the carb has the epoxied jets that's likely what killed it.

 

[dustinwilt68]

Sounds good.

FYI, just found out a Husky 51 or 353 piston will work but trimming the skirt is required..... Thanks ncfarmboy for that info!!!
