Old Stihl 050

[rmihalek]

I just was given an old Stihl 050AV (90cc). After some disassembly, it looks like she might need a new piston/rings. I think it'll run, but there are some deep score marks that go across the rings. Anyone know of a source for such parts for this old saw?

Thanks.

It uses the same piston/cylinder as the 051 and the TS510 concrete cut-off saw. Aftermarket are available... Alternatively, there are plenty of used P&C from the 051 - some from sponsors of this site, or Ebay stores.

Thanks Andy! I see there's some 051 pistons on eBay. I'll get this sucker running for sure.

Cheers.
