I can get a New piston Kit for a Stihl 026 from Germany for $19.00 plus $9.00 shipping. Is this a good price or should I stay away from it

Troll are you jokeing or is this a real savings. The price was US dollars. Is the piston a 44MM or 42 MM or all the 026 parts the same.

The prices here aren't much different for the AIP or Golf pistons.
Get a Tecomec - might cost $30, but it's really good quality.
44mm is 026; 42mm is 024.

Just search for "Stihl pistons" on ebay and it will take you to a store. The
German seller is just reselling the same chinese pisions that Golf sells here. He's just hoping buyers will think they are German quality!

No reason to feel guilty, Jack!
I was a bit fast, based on "gut feeling", and assumed that someone would correct me if I was wrong.....
Everything is fine with me.

Doug,
I know of two different guys based in Germany that sell these cheap pistons, and piston/cylinder sets.
Flexparts (flexpit68) is one and there is one called eins-e-teile. The latter seems to have gone off selling the parts, but I'm pretty sure that flex sells the AIP pistons (made in India) Klickitatsacket was briefly a US distrubutor for them and swore they were good quality.
Personally I've never had the opportunity to try him (flexparts) out yet, but will just as soon as I have a saw needing a piston he sells.

AIP Piston Kit
Dan in his post referred to a AIP piston from Flexparts ($19.00). ShoerFast has posted a positive feedback on how good a AIP piston was for his 660 saw that he got from a member of ArboristSite.com Can any member explain the differents with the piston kit from Flexparts and the one that ShoerFast used in his saw. I need a piston kit for a 026 that had been runed with out oil in gas.
I also understand that the piston kit is not made in Germany from Dan. I Welcome every opinion I can get or advice

Tecomec are the only aftermarket I'll replace OEM with... and stand behind the saws.
