France for me! Relatives long long time ago were actually goldsmiths for the king. Must be why I like working with all this old metal stuff I guess.

 

[s sidewall]

Wrong metal.

My lineage is from Ireland and Scotland and damn proud of it!

 

[s sidewall]

Why you running a German saw, not a Sweed.

I have a co-workers Stihl 041 Super, I believe he straight-gassed it because it has almost no compression.

Stihl discontinued new piston/cylinder kits, and I can't find any aftermarket parts for the 041 Super.

Anybody know where I could find some aftermarket parts?

I have an original used cylinder & piston for one in good usable condition but I'm in the u.k and postage would be expensive, going by what a number of American sellers charge on ebay to post light chainsaw parts to the u.k, unless they are screwing the buyer on postage?

I thank you very much for this, however, my coworker was able to find an aftermarket piston and rings for it.

EDIT:
I do not believe that sellers are ripping people off by charging more for shipping,
postage has just gotten expensive... costs me around $40-$50 to ship a 25 pound box from Wisconsin to Massachusetts...

International shipping has got extremely expensive in many countries over the last few years, especially if you do not ship enough smaller items to justify having a "packet" contract with DHL or one of their competitors.
My shipping rates for the US have gone up 40% in five years: same small package and it was already expensive to begin with. At one point you just have to pass costs on to the customer, even if this costs you business.

Whats up men?!!? Been along while since I was here again. Seems like I don't have as much time to spend on saws as of late. I need to get back into them I've got a 4200,5200,330,and a 084 that need going through.
