Gregg,
Are you saying it's the piston wrist pin hitting the transfer? Wouldn't the cir clips stop this from happening?

I don't understand this. Why are people always stating "in before the lock".
So far, this is an informational thread. Saws are not "plug and play". You need to check certain clearances or you will have failure.

I hate to pile on Gregg....but I've seen more failed "Baileys" pistons than any other.
I took apart a Husky 55 a few days ago that had one of Baileys kits on it. Total loss when the piston failed.

Howdy,
The way I understood this is that the parts that failed were OEM but, it was because it had a Bailey's kit on it previously was pecking This cracked the con rod, and then when the OEM parts were installed the con rod failed. I'm saying con rods get pulled apart, not pushed apart. This holds true for any manufacturer.
I don't doubt that there are more failed Bailey's pistons because they outsold everybody by a 100 to 1. This is no defense that they failed but, the odds are to that favor.
The classic sign of a pin slip is when just one journal gets ripped off the piston accompanied by the transfer bridge being busted out of the corresponding side of the cylinder. The pix will tell.
Regards
Gregg

I'm just a little miffed at the way the feller was treated over that 55.
I didn't do any of the work......just took it apart for him. He was blown off pretty badly.
I'll shut up now.
Bye.

You don't need model airplane fuel, Coleman's Fuel/white gas will increase the rpm's also. Probably more than you would want.
