Sachs Dolmar 117 rebuild?

[homemade]

Finally received a new piston with rings. New piston has an arrow stamped on the top.Does the arrow point toward the muffler, my guess, or toward the carburetor? What is the secret required to get the rings to slide into the cylinder?

The arrow points to the muffler.

Final update: Installed the piston in the cylinder and then installed the piston on the connecting rod. Just by pulling the starter rope I can tell compression has increased. Smokes a bit at wide open throttle but attributing that to the oil I used in the cylinder to aid the rings installation. But if it never stops smoking, don't care. The saw is running great in my opinion and will see more cords of firewood before its final demise.

Thanks for all the advice.

Forgot to give that seller in Greece a plug. If you have a 117/119/120 he has the piston and rings. Takes about 3 weeks to arrive.

I'm pretty sure I have an oem piston and cylinder for one of those saws. It's 47mm, and appears to be new.
If you'll take it apart send me a pics of the intake side of the cylinder, and dimensions on the piston, I'll verify fitment. If it's right, it's yours for $20, plus the cost of shipping. It is missing the rings, but a good set of caber rings is easy to snag.

Have been looking for a set for my 117 w/ 47mm piston & rings. Yours still available?
