OEM husky 2100 thin ring

[jim rivers]

Hello I'm reaching out for some info on a factory husky thin ring piston markings / Here is the story bought a e/bay piston that claims its oem 2100 thin ring piston I rec the piston its in a older farmer tec box so that got my senses telling me its am ? It does have some markings on top of the piston so just curious If anybody might have some info on what husky stamped on top of the piston ???? Thanks for any help Jim

The thin-ring pistons I have here have no marks on top. It's pretty easy to tell a thin ring piston as the rings are only about .024" thick which is just over 0.5mm.

Well Jacob are you saying that a oem husky thin ring piston should have no markings on the top of it ? This is the info I will need to file a claim with evil bay I'm not even remotely interested in owning a non oem piston ! If this guy sold me a piston represented as oem and it's truly a am piston it's worth nothing to me //

I'm not saying an OEM piston shouldn't have any markings, I'm saying that the two I have here do not have any markings and you can draw your own conclusions from that. I'm also saying that the OEM thin-ring pistons use rings that are very thin, and I have not seen any aftermarket kits using such rings. The thinnest rings I've seen on an aftermarket piston are the 1.2mm rings used in modern Stihls and Husqvarnas.

Looks like a Kolbensmidth piston.

The marking on the left side of the arrow looks a Kolbensmidth marking. I think that i see this marking on a sachs dolmar 143 piston.

No problem Jim. I know a lot of guys don't check their PM's often. Just throwing it out there. Thanks.
