Chainsaw Repair

After pulling the cylinder off of the saw, i accidentally broke my piston ring. got a new one at the local repair shop. reassemble the saw and have very little compression. saw will fall from the starter recoil under its own weight. i tore the saw back down and put the ring alone into the cylinder and there is in excess of 3mm of gap in the ring ends. is this normal or is the ring too small. thanks

EDIT: This number is wrong for the original poster's application. This number is for the 44mm bore!!!!!

correct

The 45mm ring has a number 503 28 90-11

Jim is the jonsered 2150 the husky 350?   

That would explain what I am reading on the 44mm 45mm bores

Yes.

Northwood Saw is were I get my cabers too.  Just make sure you get the cabers and read listing close. I have used the others with no problems too.
