261 Husqvarna

[TripleT]

Looking for recommendation where to purchase new topend / jug for 261 husky and recommend brand. Found several that have a wide range in price. I want to make sure I buy quality parts no china junk, if possible. Also whats recommendation on buying short block vs just top end, (burnt piston). Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks Ray

If it were mine, I would clean up the cylinder and buy a flat top Meteor brand 262xp piston.

Thanks, The cylinder wall was pretty scarred up. Will a 262xp jug fit the 261 saw? I think both are 48mm but was not sure if they would match up.
Thanks Ray
