There's also this option...

Was that a stock or aftermarket option

No decomp, haven't had the cylinder off so can't see if there are other numbers on the sides of the base flange.

Thanks, and 1991 week 43 is consistent with no decomp.

I have never heard of Gilardoni cylinders being sold as aftermarket, they are in the same quality range as Mahle and KS.

Yep, I had an early Stihl MS441 carb'd saw with a factory Gilardoni cylinder, so they are OEM suppliers to several saw manufacturers

Lots of "strato" saws have Gilardoni cylinders, and there are nothing wrong with that.

Maybe it is different in Europe? I have 11 262's with the split being about 8 having Mahle cylinders and 3 having KS cylinders. All eight of my Mahle's have the "Mahle" and part number on the flywheel side. All three of my KS cylinders have the "KS" on the clutch side.

Below are the pictures of the 262 cylinders I have from my project saws. They show what I said above.

I am not familiar with this cylinder model. When was it used?

this one is from year 93 week 6.
I have one with same label but with decomp valve year 94 week 24.
I will take some better pictures when I am home of those two.

For those who are interested, here is how my three different Mahle cylinders looks:


year 93, week 6:







Year 94, week 24:







Year 95 or newer (95,96,98, brand new) same number:

 

[rynosawr]

These are mine. Cylinder and piston are perfect, probably install a new ring on it .... Caber or factory husky recommended?

 

[rattler362]

I use Caber

 

[Agrarian]

Yeah, I have never heard where a Husky ring was any better than Caber.

what sort of muffler mod you doing on these 262's Randy?

 

[Mattyo]

I was confused as to how to replace the flywheel side seal... so I went for it, and here is my video.

Just open everything under the factory deflector.

 

[PA Dan]

Heres what I did! I replace all my spark screen with 14 mesh screen.

 

[PA Dan]

My carb grommet came today so maybe I can finally get this saw tuned and see what all the fuss is about! Still cant figure out how to put the chain brake parts back in the clutch cover!

 

[glock37]
