I have a cs-5000 and I've been trying to locate an aftermarket piston for it with no luck. Has anyone bought an aftermarket piston for the cs-5000

No luck on piston, The only thing I could come up with is using a CS-520/CS-530 crankshaft and then using a AM 520/530 piston
What is the AM 520 piston? Did you do the job or just consider it? It would be so simple just to pop the cylinder and pull the piston and replace rather than pull the whole block and rework! I hate to spend the $80+ to get an OEM piston and may just decide to sell as parts!No luck on piston, The only thing I could come up with is using a CS-520/CS-530 crankshaft and then using a AM 520/530 piston
I guess the second oil ring doubles the cost! I would think that the Chinese or others could manufacture an aftermarket unit if the demand was high enough. Echo must not have sold very many of the 5000 units.The CS5000 and CS520 are totally different , parts will not swap. That CS5000 piston cost a lot at $82, a lot of models are $45 to $55. Steve
