What's YOUR Holy Grail Vintage Chainsaw List?

[Stihl 041S]

I gave one of those CT pistons away. Aftermarket JUNK IMO. Find OEM or a nice piston like Lee had made up.

Saving your info where it wont get lost on 166 111 Lee.

Hey Ol Buddy .........I guess I should have got a 166 piston when I could. Course I don't know as I need a hotter 111S........
I love odd interchangeable parts. My Bugeye Healey 3 ended radiator hose used a Mercedes hose trimmed down.
How you been?

Think a Dolmar CT115 piston would work as well, and also has a dome. Of course, CT115 parts are probably harder to find than 111 or 166 parts, so that may not be helpful.

166 on the left. CT on the right (new piston with dome).

Just make sure you're not cutting off flow through the transfers with that slab-sided CT piston. If a saw engine uses a through-transfer design with a windowed piston, and you install a non-windowed piston, you'll lose acceleration and the top RPM range will be lower.

Excellent point. Thanks

The Holy Grail wish list is shrinking; got one of those 090's with the funky muffler headed my way from another member...

My holy grail consists of 038’s.. I keep coming back to them. I can’t help it. I make them happy and release them back into the wild. Then get sad about the loss and get another. The process is sickening....

Scott, The CT piston won't work. Look at the hight between the pin and crown. CT is taller.
CT doesn't have windows either.

Lee -

Got it. Just trying to figure out if we have another off-the-shelf option out there.

Thanks,
