Ok, I have seen it said many times on here about Husky saws having only one ring on their pistons. Alot of you Stihl fans use this as your main argument when the question of Husky saws not lasting as long as Stihl saws. My feeling is that first off it is a 2 stroke engine(oil is mixed in the fuel so second ring is not actually needed) and second what good is multiple rings if one fails anyway. I have seen in my line of work on all sorts of engines what happens when just one of the two or three rings on a piston fails, the piston and cylinder are scored (I had a 2 stroke multiple ring piston boat motor do this). So let's here your thoughts on the subject.............
