Yep warrantied to work till it breaks.
OK then!........Sounds like you got your moneys worth.......Twice!:hmm3grin2orange:
Good chance for you to upgrade ! In my opinion though the ms441 is better than the ms460
According to the seller, thats correct. :hmm3grin2orange:
Where can I buy these kits?......I'd like to try the 3 cylinder package!
Mark,
Sorry if I missed it, but what brand were the kits or was there even a brand?
A Kaw H1 Bikesaw +100,000,000,000
Naw no brand, just a generic white box that said 441 piston and cyl or something like that.
Kinda reminds me of like when they used to sell generic beer. You old enough to remember that? Just a plain white can and in black letters it said "beer".
The only difference is the generic beer was actually Fallstaff and was decent, these cyls not so much decent. :hmm3grin2orange:

My old man drank the generic beer in the brown stubbies. I was about 8 or 9 and I swiped a bottle from him one time. It wasn't so bad.
What could possibly be wrong with the bottom end, intake, or fuel system that would cause the top end to catch a ring in the exhaust port? I've seen quite a few scored pistons, seized rings etc due to straight gas, lean carb, air leaks, excessive cylinder temps etc. but I've never seen an OEM p/c kit ever snag a ring in the exhaust port. IOW if you paid me to do something to the bottom end to make the top end snag a ring I wouldn't know where to begin. If the rest of the saw can't make the top end snag a ring, then you're left with the top end itself. I just don't see how this could be anything other than a defective p/c kit. Since all the kits are made the same it should be no surprise that two failed back to back. Every one of them should fail.
PS- Another possibility that I haven't seen mentioned is excessive clearance between the piston and cylinder. That would allow the rings to stick out further to make a seal with the cylinder wall, making them more likely to catch in a port. Also the piston rocking back and forth in the cylinder will put increased stress on the rings which could cause them to break and catch in a port. My quick and dirty clearance test is to TAKE THE RINGS OFF THE PISTON, wipe down the p and c to remove all oil, then drop the p into the c, place thumb over the spark plug hole and turn the c upside down. If clearance is good the p will hold a vacuum and not move. If the piston falls out you've got problems.
