    Is this husqvarna worth a new piston?

    I picked up this saw running, for $5.00 to day. It did run but had a rattle so i took it apart. Not sure if this is a EPA model or not so a little help in identifying it is appreciated, the jug had 44 stamped on the top. Also is it a good saw or should I cut my losses and through it on the junk heap?chainsaws 001.jpgchainsaws 002.jpgchainsaws 003.jpgchainsaws 004.jpg

    Yes it's worth a new piston. They ate great saws from what I've read. If you don't wanna mess with it I'll double your money

    It's def not EPA. It's a 44mm and if the jug is salvageable, the it is definitely worthy of repair. If the jug can't be saved, I would opt for an aftermarket 346 P/C set-up.

    So what piston would you go with because the bore is fine? I just hit it with a little acid and some 400 grit looks brand new in there. I saw NWP has a piston kit for $29.00 or should I go with something else. Also do these saw respond good to muffler modes or should I leave it stock?

    I would use the NWP and not worry about it. I prefer Meteor, but I couldn't find one for your saw.

    Sal is very good, but I would go with a NWP bf I used a Golf. I know, lots of people have used them, but my two experiences with them left a bad taste for me.

    I have no real world experience with Golf. I'm sure we can agree to tell the OP to use factory circlips though

    I have used Golf and I have used NWP and had great results with both. I like the quality of the ring better in the golf kit as my NWP had a grooved ring. Both saws are still running well but I did not like that grooved ring!
