Husqvarna 2100 thread

[Squareground3691]

No, I have been watching for it, checking almost weekly. I ended up getting my 2100 piston from Lil' Red Barn off of eBay. I have not run the saw enough to see how it will perform, but the saw does fire up. When Duke's gets theres back in stock, I will be getting one of those too (maybe two of them now that I know @Stump Shot is hording them )

Check that link I posted, it looks like the same piston ,

Ah, so that’s why there aren’t any left.

I know there's one in the stash for sure, could be another hiding in there quite possibly I suppose, nothing nefarious I assure you.
I try and keep some stock here of popular models to help move things along is all.

Yeah, that is a picture of the same piston Duke's sells, but that one is at 3x the price (ouch)!

Yup , but cheaper that a OEM if you can find them I bet ,

Same ?

Yup. Dukes has some stuff on Az
Ordered one, just to have it.

But, his ‘hard chrome’ cyl/piston kits are still NA.

AZ has cylinder head bolts…for $28…ea

The pictures are straight off of the Traverse Creek website, which makes me worry that I would get a piston, but not that piston...

The seller is GOTENK, not "The Duke's Saw Salvage".

If Dukey had one for to put on Scamazon, he'd therefor by default have one for his own store then too.

Stop making sense...this is an interweb forum.

Not necessarily. If the Az seller bought a pile of them at a discount he may have all there is.
I ordered one just to find out…we’ll see. If a fake it will be easy to return.

If I'm correct it's been suggested the 2100 could use three sizes of pistons similar to the 81 cc McCullochs like the 850 etc . If that's true judging by when they were made the ability to cut cylinders to size with a fine accuracy was not as good as it is today .I may or may not have those sizes in my collection of Husqvarna stuff . If I get the time I'll take a look see in a day or so .Then again with a well used cylinder it might not make that much of a difference because it will be out of round with a taper .If it doesn't get stuck eventually the rings will seat and probably run like new assembley .

 

[Duke Thieroff]

Yeah, the piston factory is slow and not at the top of the priority list as a result.

I gotta get an order here...

Not much help just the parts numbers .pistons 501-61-48-02 size A .last number 03 piston size B and with 04 it's size c .Typical Husqvarna and Partner parts lists they only give numbers not what the part actually is ..In reading the service manual it says you can use a sze B in an A cylinder Numbers are on the top of the cylinder and top of the piston .
Without any instructions and based on McCulloch information I'd say you'd want about 4 thou clearance but that's only a guess on my part .I never said I was a Husqvarna expert .So about all I can say with an after market piston is it will either work or it wont .

That video is interesting,

Good ole Rich which is where my avatar saw came from . In the vid he noted some of those 2100's you can barely pull over which is almost understating that fact .A d-handle helps but a kick stater could be better .

However Rich did note that some times you can jam a B or C piston in a smaller cylinder bore . Plus he did note that further in production dates they only made one bore size which I'm certain had lot to do with the production machinery used during that time period .Now of days they can hold tollerances in the micro meter range .
