45.35mm Piston Kit Fits Poulan 306A 361 Chainsaw

45.35mm piston kit that fits the Poulan 306A and 361 chainsaws; the kit has the piston, rings, wrist pin and circlips. Measure the old piston before ordering. Look at the cylinder through the exhaust port before fitting a piston alone, since deep scoring or flaking plating means the cylinder needs replacing too. Find the cause of the old failure, pressure and vacuum test the crankcase, and use a new base gasket and a ring compressor.

• 45.35MM PISTON KIT - Piston, rings, wrist pin and circlips.
• FITS POULAN 306A AND 361 - The 45.35mm bore chainsaws. Measure the old piston before ordering.
• CHECK THE CYLINDER, NOT JUST THE PISTON - Pull the muffler and look through the exhaust port. Light transfer marks hone out; deep scoring or flaking plating means the cylinder needs replacing too.
• FIND OUT WHY IT FAILED - A scored piston had a cause: a hardened crankshaft seal, a split intake boot, a lean carburetor setting or the wrong fuel mix. Pressure and vacuum test the crankcase before the new piston runs.
• ON ASSEMBLY - Use a ring compressor, fit the clips with their openings away from the slot, check ring end gap in the bore, and use a new base gasket.
