048 -OEM or Aftermarket cylinder assembly neded

[kemo]

In need of a new cylinder assembly. I've been hunting around with no such luck thus far. I can find the Golf pistons, but no detailed information on them such as specs... let alone the Golf manufacturer's website.

My garage just got filled with 3 creamsicles, 2 of em are not running, one needs an oil pump. :bang:

As you're finding out, parts are hard to find for 048s and 042s. Good luck with your search.

 

[kemo]

son of a #####... the other is a 042...

Well, at least I can manage to find a pump for the 280C... or so I hope.

Go figure, I haven't had any luck!

We've heard rumors that the 042 cylinder assembly can work, can anyone verify or bust that rumor for me?

Sorry I can't hep you but I have a new one for an 045 and 041 here.

I sent you a PM, Kemo......I've got an 048 cylinder.

I sent you a PM too... I have a nice 042 cylinder, so looks like you may be in luck on both saws. Good luck to you either way!

I bought a golf piston to suit my MS192. I had to modify the piston to get it to fit the con rod so I was not impressed with the quality.

You aren't the first I've read about as far as negatives go with Golf. I'll be steering clear.

I would have never thought there would be a Golf for a short run saw like the 042/48. That is a eye opener

 

[Roanoker494]

The 042 and 048 piston and cylinder will interchange, and neither one will with any other Stihl models. The 042/048 was a short lived saw that came around in the late 70's and was gone in the early 80's, maybe 2-3 years total. I have managed to find some NOS parts at local old timer Stihl dealers.

EDIT:
I have a early model 042 that I am restoring.

Here is a much better option for a piston, when compared to a Golf.

the 042 just needed a carb kit. never needed a cylinder assembly. dono where that was picked up on, must have been my wording?

Can you find a cylinder and piston

 

[1972Highboy]

I sent you a PM too... I have a nice 042 cylinder, so looks like you may be in luck on both saws. Good luck to you either way!

Do you still have that cylinder
