@markmetzger5430 Hello Mark, this saw was a Stihl 024 super using a Meteor piston. The Meteor pin weighs approximately 11.3G. The pin that was shortened was a Stihl 026 OEM wrist pin (from my local dealer) that weighed approximately 8.7G when shortened. Thank you for your question.
@markmetzger5430 Actually, the short video was matching the 026 pin to the factory 024 pin that was in the saw. To my surprise, the Meteor pin was much shorter. I ended up chucking the wrist pin in a cordless drill and used the bench grinder finishing it off with the stone again.
The stone needs presoaked to better preserve the life of the stone
That's a great idea, and It makes total sense. Thank you.
@@woodcutter4481 Curious what the weight savings are for the light weight wrist pin and where you buy them?

@@woodcutter4481 Thanks for the detailed answer! Reciprocating weight reduction in these small engines is a great positive benefit.
