Chinese Jugs

[Spokerider]

Anybody know how many *different* factories are putting out the various Chinese jugs?

I need a cylinder kit for the 090, and there are at least 6 different sellers on ebay with these, and the pics of the kits all look to be the same. Are they all coming from just one factory? Hard to know what is useable junk and what is utter junk..........

These are the only Chinese jugs I consider.

With the price of a Chinese knockoff piston and cylinder going for anywhere between $25 - $60, as opposed to $200+ for an OEM , it is a worthy question. I would prefer(refuse) not to spend $200 on a replacement cylinder for a 350 Husky, when that is all the saw needs to be a runner. I believe a lot of guys want to know.

You know what you are getting, and he stands behind his products and sponsors this message board. He gives a AS discount also.

An OEM kit here costs almost $500 after tax..........

OK, so he sells Mako. Is that the same as Red Barn, Huztl, Generator, NWP, etc........?
Everyone's add says......."premium quality" but we all know that in advertising, any saying goes. How do you know you are getting useable Chinese junk at the very least?

He grades the different kits, this is the listing for the Stihl 390 and he has a B kit listed. He is WELL respected here, and wont lead you wrong

I had an 026 built thru one of the builders here for the Landrum benefit. The jug was donated by weedeaterman, so he would have feedback on that product, and it also put more $$ into the benefit. That is the type of guy he is.

Do you have a damaged 090 cylinder that you think is unusable ?

You may also want to check if Meteor makes it. I hear they are about the best AM, and we have AS members that sell it (there was even a recent thread on it).

Unfortunately there are no 090 kits available from Meteor.

They offer an 070 piston, but that's as close as it gets.
