Wonky piston pin?

[Mavenite]

Putting together a Hutzl MS180 chainsaw parts kit. Think I might better get a new piston pin before preceding. Will try to post a pic of both ends. What do you think?

If their pin looks like that, what about their piston????

Yep, looks like it was not drilled thru the center.

Id be hesitant to use the kit.

Can you return it?

ETC!

They left the center of the pin solid.? Hmm sounds like a weight, balancing problem.?

Looks like someone was on the juice when they setup the machine that day. But hay, it's got a hole in it, should pass the hole inspector.

Best get oem pin and bearings, pins look better than that.

Man I don't understand, the kit cost you about $140.00 with shipping, you can get a new real Stihl 180 for $200.00

I understood the price difference between the Chinese kit and a Stihl when I bought it. Bought it for the experience and have learned a lot. The bigger saws are the good values, but don't need a big saw right now.

They did drill it, but drilled it off center. My only concern is a balance issue. That's what I was hoping to hear from others about.

You could always buy a different aftermarket piston for it and throw that in there instead of chasing down the OEM parts.

You can get a new piston and rings from the same source for less than a 5 spot to your door.

Or you could complain and they will tell you "we checked with our technician and he said ok to run hope you can have a try"
