Yes, it was from Bailey's. I don't know what brand it was. I'm contemplating the OEM top end kit, at some point. I'll ask about a top end kit when I order parts for the 372 this week from my Husky dealer.

The pin was hitting the port, look at the pic. I'm not saying that the clip broke the piston, the pin did when it caught on the port.

This makes no sense to me. The bearing is perfectly fine and the pin slides in and out smoothly, and has a thin film of lube on it. The only way I can see this failure happening is for the clip to go first.

What is the average airport response to some clown wanting to buy some gas for their chainsaw? Or do you just not tell them what you are up to? :/:I run 93 and Stihl synthetic. The 93 I've tested doesn't seem to have much, if any, alcohol in it.

I've had the saw for a long time, and really like it. It stuck a piston in '04 due to a bad fuel line. I rebuilt it in '09 for about $130, which was way cheaper than a new 90+ cc saw. I'm still going to fix this one, just not sure when. I don't know of much difference between the 394 and the...

Thanks Burnham. I'd like to know why the clip failed, but I may never get an answer to that. I'm going to try and find a top end for it. Worst case, Bailey's lists an OEM top end kit for $399.

I've never used this saw for milling. I'm just whacking the butt flares off big logs so they clear the roller on the Wood-Mizer. I suppose the cracks could have let the clip escape, but I suspect that the cracks formed from the pin catching in the transfer ports.

That would be a bit of a project. How well does the jug weld with TIG?

Hey, I'm the one that trolls for 394s. Off my turf!:P:lol:

Took the 394 apart this morning. Circlip is MIA on clutch side, piston cracked, jug is junk. Is this a common failure? I think I read something saying certain brands of piston clips were junk. Not sure what to do now. I think another jug is either going to be hard to find, or hard to afford. I...
