Scored a Husky 55 on Craigslist this evening

Here are some pictures for everyone...
The closed port is on the left.

I believe the closed port is on the right and is also what the OP has.

I believe the closed port is on the right.

Thats what i was thinking as well.

Looks like the op could have a cp (though most likely not), I still can't tell from the pics, looks maybe slightly different to anything I have, lol.


Usually the easiest way to spot a cp is the 51cc designation (as opposed to 53cc) on the label.

But some labels are not marked, this one is op.

Other various examples...

Next, the really sure thing that's visible without any dis-assembly is the +'s on the clutch side upper transfer (as well as the much more pronounced bulge).

Similar view on an op.

Better view without clutch cover, unfortunately I don't have a cp cylinder not on a saw.

Maxed out number of pics per post, continued to next post...

Cp cylinder from recoil side.

Op cylinder.

490 jred (5000 partner equivalent) cylinder, very similar to 55 cp but still a bit different.

Need to correct myself due to exploring several 55's in a box I paid 30 bux for last summer and haven't gotten around to messin' with until this thread raised my curiosity.

Well whaddya, know? Found a closed port top end on one of em that only has a little scuffing on the intake side!

WoooooHooooo!!!

Have a near mint case and plastics that'll make a good home for it, too.

A good day for Pogo thanks to you guys! And I thought I already had a good week scoring a nice 51 for 35 bux....silly me!
