here are pics of my husqvarna 346xp. I pulled the cylinder off and it is TOASTED. I talked to the guy I bought it from and he said his grandson put straight gas in it.

Husqvarna dealer wants $169 for piston and cylinder, where or how can I get a cheaper setup to repair this saw??

If there OEM parts, thats alot better than Baileys OEM prices. You probably bought the saw right, didnt you? REJ2

Looks like the grandson already saved some money on mix oil.

Does it need a new cylinder? You might get away with just the piston if you use muriatic acid to get the transferred aluminum off the cylinder wall.

Yes I did buy it, so its my problem now,lol

I'd pull the thing apart before buying replacement parts. Cylinder may be salvagable, that may lower your "fix it cost" quite a bit. I never go into the parts acquisition mode until I've done the complete tear down. Usually because I miss something and I have to add to the list, but goes the other way too.

If that's indeed the price for an OEM slug 'n jug it's not too aweful IMO.........

Looks barely used, except for the damage. If you got it cheaply enough, I'd go for the OEM parts. Should you wish to sell it sometime, you'll be glad. If the guy sold it to you knowing that it had been straight gassed but didn't tell you (and you didn't check), you're taking it rather well.

That is a 50cc one, but it has a cat muffler that you will want to change out (if it isn't already done).

$169 for the P&C sounds like a good price to me, if it is OEM!
