I need to replace the pistion on my echo 360T. The exhaust side of the piston and ring is scored up resulting in loss of compression/no start. The aluminium piston has transfered material to the cylinder wall which im hoping i can clean up.
Ive had zero luck with the echo dealer as the piston cannot be bought separately as its NLA. They said my only option was to buy a short block assembly, problem is it costs a good amount and costing more than the saw is worth. I see lots of after market pistons for all other models except the 360T, what gives?
If anyone has a lead to a aftermarket piston for this saw it would be greatly appreciated if you could respond to this post.
Im also looking for the factory service manual to find the ring size as perhaps i can clean things up a but and replace the ring and get a little more life out of the saw.
