Thread '046 cylinder identification'

Jun 1, 2017

There as been some discussion lately with reference to the 046 cylinders.
Last night I took a look at a couple cylinders I have. I found several physical differences with the cylinders that may make it easier for everyone to identify which style cylinder they have on their saw. Hemi cylinder vs a D cylinder.

A D cylinder has a D shaped combustion chamber
A hemi cylinder has a round combustion chamber.
Pics for chamber shape reference

This is a D chamber
This is a hemi chamber

Thanks for the info CFB. I have to admit I was a bit confused when it was marked Stihl and didn't have mahle or ks on it anywhere.
It is a hemi chamber jug.
