044??

 

240 or lower

 

BTW one guess!? you cna do better than that chaps.

 

 

 

200t or similar?

 

EDIT: should have said - complete guess

 

 

Very close and the best yet.

Do you know what made me think top handle? Bearing in mind I know very little about Stihls at all - the angle of the spark plug hole Figured that it was hardly likely to be a husky TH as everyone says they are pants.

 

Powers of deduction

er - I said 020T:confused1:

 

Anyway - poor filter maintenance causes damage to the inlet (carb) side of the bore so if this wear is on that side only then it is the filter, if it is on both sides then it has just done its job and worn out through use.

 

I would need to see a bit more of the cylinder than that to make a call on the second one - the outside of it would help - hows about a 028 stihl

So you did.

 

Only on the inlet so filter it is then.

 

Nope on the 028.

 

These might help.

Yes - looks like it is from the Husky/Jonsered stable - big ports!

Old school Husky - no push on rubber boot - 181/288??

[spudulike]

If it isn't the 181/288 then it is a 262!

[Mesterh]

All getting closer!

 

If I say its at the exact opposite end, on all accounts, from the 020T, will that throw up any other guesses?

That must be the Husqvarna 3120XP then - thought those ports looked a little good for an older saw:001_rolleyes:

 

RE - 020T - loks like cleaning the air filter regularly would solve the issue - dousing in hot water and one of these bubbling fabric cleaners is a good idea.

 

The other one looks like the plating has come off and the piston is bluing the surrounding area due to overheating - will be fine until the plating starts coming off above the exhaust port - your compression will drop off then and it will finally die:thumbdown:

 

Good to know that a saw can run with damage like that!
