Was cleaning up the 394 and 395 for a "mission" to drop some monster Fastigata's and saw that time has not been kind on the 394, what with its non isolated carb and lots of internal plastics having gone all brittle.

What are the options for barrel and piston for a 'slightly worse for wear' 395" I have enough spare plastics to rebuild her, but alas the barrel is too far gone...MSL knows what I mean

Are the aftermarket kits worth while spending on, or should I just throw a genuine Husky barrel and piston into her??

Do a littler bit of research on the web, the same names keep coming up as the 'good ones' as some of the others get the parts from a few different casting outfits and just slap a coloured box around them it would seem. Caber rings keep coming up as being good, and the other is using the plain 'c' pin clips rather than the ones with ears as they seem to climb out of their groove more easily???

I like the meteor kits, the pistons have caber rings, defineitly better than the huztl or hiway kts
