Jonsered 2171 P/C Solutions

[jasper89]

Good Afternoon: I may have the opportunity to buy a Jonsered 2171 with a bad piston and cylinder (it was straight gassed) and I have a few questions that I would like your input on:

What would be a fair price if the rest of the saw is in very good condition?

What cylinder would you use as a replacement? OEM or aftermarket?

It will be a normal work saw, maybe a muffler mod and a little port clean up but that will be all.

Thanks for your replies.

You don't want that saw. Better just send me the contact info for it so you won't be tempted.

I would check the oem cylinder to start. Most likely it can be saved but if not stay with oem.

I'd say 200-250 at most if the rest of the saw is nice.

I appreciate you trying to keep me away from the temptation!

The cylinder is shot, no chance to save.

Any advice on which OEM will fit, work out best?

371-372 kit is the same.

I wouldn't pay more than 150. I usually pay less than 100 for a saw like that.

I'd stick with the OEM kit.

 

[jasper89]

Are there different versions of OEM replacements, or are they all the same?
XP XT ?

 

[Wagnerwerks]

Go for 372xp. I have a used set here, but spike has new ones for a great deal.

372 XP or XPW, XPW for more torque if running longer bars all the time.

Thanks for the replies. If I can get the saw for a good price, well why not ?

Get the 50mm 372 OE jug. If the saw is in excellent condition otherwise, I'd probably go $200.
