Description
Overview:
The Piston Assembly 44mm for Stihl 026 and MS 260 is a non-genuine replacement component for two‐stroke chainsaw engines. Built around a precision 44 mm diameter piston (1.73 inches), it is engineered to restore compression and smooth running in compatible Stihl machines. The piston is made from durable aluminium alloy for low weight and good heat transfer, paired with steel piston rings and a hardened steel gudgeon pin for reliable sealing and long service. Correct piston-to-cylinder fit helps maintain power, throttle response, and starting performance during routine maintenance or full top-end rebuilds. Suitable for users rebuilding worn or scored pistons, it offers a practical way to keep a hard‐worked 026 or MS 260 operating efficiently when matched to a sound 44 mm cylinder.
Key Features:
- Non-genuine replacement, referenced to OEM number 1121 030 2001 for identification
- 44 mm piston diameter (1.73 inches) for the correct bore size used on applicable models
- Aluminium alloy piston with steel rings for strong sealing and heat resistance
- Steel gudgeon pin and circlip design for secure, durable wrist‐pin retention
- Helps restore compression, power output, and fuel efficiency in 2‐stroke engines
- Smooth operation and reduced blow‐by when installed with correct clearances
- Designed to integrate with the existing cylinder and con‐rod without modification
- Suitable for workshop or on‐site rebuilds using standard hand tools
- Robust construction aimed at long service life under forestry and landscaping use
- Cost‐effective way to maintain performance compared with full engine replacement
Typical Applications:
Used during engine overhauls, top‐end refreshes, or after piston/cylinder scoring, seizure, or loss of compression. Common in forestry, arborist work, landscaping, and firewood cutting where the chainsaw is regularly under load. Ideal for restoring reliable starting and stable idle on Stihl 026/MS 260 platforms when paired with a serviceable 44 mm cylinder and correct gaskets.
