That'll work, had one given to me yesterday that was set up and cylinder is not salvageable.
These are the only aftermarket cylinders I've had any luck with holding up to my customers
level of abuse and neglect.

There is cheaper choices out there. But then who knows what you may have to adjust.

The transfers looks a bit odd - looks like sort of "halv way" quads, With beefy and short "deviders"? ???
-
The meteor link doesn't look at all like a closed port cylinder to me, and shouldn't the closed port kit have a windowed piston? The OEM reference number they show is not even in the Husky system.
And for another $35 I sell the OEM kit, so I don't see a great deal there. (the open port kit, which is the only OEM kit available)

Those pictures are actual meteor kit pics taken by @Duke Thieroff he has in hand. Dont know what his piston looked like. http://chainsawrepair.createaforum.com/used-chainsaw-parts-online/sawsalvage-com-used-and-nos-parts-meteor-piston-and-cylinder-dealer/
HL link was just added to post and maybe generic pic as far as I know in their link. UPDATE nope found Dukes piston in pic below.

Found piston. Not windowed piston but IMO cylinder is still a closed port and Randy's Masterminds opinion too.
Duke Is this considered a closed port Husky 55?
Randy Damn right.......and it appears to be quad ported?

It's the general consensus that it is considered a CP. I have some very interesting tests coming up shortly involving this specific kit. Will indeed keep you guys in the loop over here.

Thanks Duke or what do you prefer to go by?
Look at the husqvarna 353 piston in its closed port cylinder. Look at the poulan 445 415 425 pistons used in their quad port closed cylinders.

On RIGHT closed port cylinder and stock OEM piston

That looks pretty good! Anybody run one yet and compare to other 50cc saws?

I have one on my p5000 , lots of torque.

Thats what I noticed in the difference of 44mm partner 5000 and the poulan 325 aka partner 5500 46mm saws. The torque difference was very noticeable. 46mm 5500 was like a 44mm 5000 on steroids IMO.

Good combo for wood cutting. Been playing with a 20" bar on mine. Pulls pretty good...
-
I have some really awesome plans for one of these over the next few weeks.
I'll be sure to post over here so you guys can get a look at it.
