Planning to go on a little fishing trip to a few area OPE shops and while my main focus is saws from the graveyard, it's conceivable that "bad" cylinders might be available too.
So my question is this: how are Stihl cylinders marked? Are they all marked with their 4-digit model number? 11 digit? Are some simply not marked?
Also, where is a good spot to find a model number on a (mag) case? I know of at least one shop that has saws that are pretty parted out. I'd hate to miss out on a case that was worth picking up, and conversely, parting with cash for one that I'll never really have a need for. I'd rather be able to ID it first.
