Description
Overview:
This Genuine Husqvarna piston ring (MPN 503 28 90 05 / 503289005) is a high-precision steel ring designed to restore and maintain cylinder compression in two‐stroke Husqvarna chainsaw engines. It creates a reliable gas seal between the piston and cylinder wall, helping your saw start easily, idle smoothly, and deliver consistent power under load. Made from durable, heat‐resistant steel alloy, it is built for the harsh conditions found in forestry, landscaping, and site work. Ideal for routine overhaul or repair, it provides an exact OEM fit for a wide range of Husqvarna machines, including popular models such as the 242 and 345. Using a genuine ring protects the cylinder from premature wear and supports long engine life when matched with correct lubrication and maintenance.
